Coronavirus

i really don't know how the reporting of cases works, etc but florida is reporting 8900+ today, the 26th

This is with access to testing so nearly impossible that I know many, many people who have been exposed who aren't getting tested because they literally can't get one without sacrificing an entire day. Not too many have jobs that can accommodate that.

This is where the American healthcare system offers its contribution to the Perfect Storm of US coronavirus infection. If you don't have health insurance, and/or you work in a job with no paid sick leave, you 1) Cannot afford to get tested, and 2) cannot afford to take 2 weeks off for effective quarantine.

Couple that with aggressive re-opening programs focused on getting restaurants and bars and retail open -- exactly the type of frontline jobs that don't offer health insurance or paid sick leave -- and it would be more shocking if the US was NOT a global hotspot.

And while I'm not conspiratorial, Trump has made it so obvious that I don't think there's any doubt/conspiracy about this: He and his cadre of lackey governors like DeSantis, Ducey, and Abbott are intentionally "slowing down" testing to deflate reported numbers. Well how does one do that without closing testing sites and being obvious? You short staff testing sites. You make it so onerous to get tested that people voluntarily forgo.

ended up at 45,775 yesterday, which was new record...3rd day in a row of breaking the previous day's new record

also, saw this w/r/t NJ's deaths spiking a day or so ago, that leroy saw and mentioned

Note: The spike in deaths on June 25 is due to New Jersey authorities adding more than 1,800 probable deaths to the state's totals.

N.J. reports probable coronavirus deaths for 1st time. Death toll now at 14,872 with 170K total positive tests.
