At least seven states are seeing record spikes in daily COVID-19 cases, highlighting the worsening spread of the virus in the country's southern and western regions and prompting officials to rollback their reopening plans.

Underscoring the worsening spread of the virus, Florida on Saturday morning reported 9,585 new infections in the last 24 hours, marking a record spike for a second day, and 24 additional deaths.

Update: Houston is approaching ICU capacity while LA is closer to a 'critical moment' amid COVID-19 spike as experts warn rural counties in Arkansas and Missouri have seen cases double in a week and US virus cases pass 2.5 MILLION (Daily Mail)
WNU Editor: The media's narrative is that the "second wave" is here because the economy is opening up. That is partially true. The "second wave" is here also because of the mass protests that gripped major US cities three weeks ago .... It's Not Just Red States - Philadelphia, San Francisco Fear 'Second Wave' As Thousands Infected At BLM Protests (Zero Hedge). Here is an easy prediction. If cases continue to rise accompanied by rising deaths and full ICU wards, and it looks like that is where we are heading, the U.S. is facing a second lock-down.

The Good News About COVID-19 the Corporate Media Keeps Hidden
"The U.K. reported excellent results with the generic, inexpensive drug dexamethasone. "
This makes sense. For SARS they used steroids to manage the cytokine storm. Managing immune response and cytokine storms is something doctors know how to do.
Hydroxychloroquine
"Seventy-two percent of doctors in Spain are using the drug combination."
Yea, it’s like the damn media needs a crisis to just itself, along with the Dems who need it to wreck the economy ahead of the elections. I am damn tired of all this crap; is the death rate increasing!!?? The answer is no and possibly declining as people infected might be a lot greater. We do NOT need another lock down, we need to keep the economy going and do the sensible things to keep us safe.
The first "lock down" failed. The definition of insanity is to try failed policies over and over again expecting a different result.
Very few leaders actually wanted to reopen and only did so when they did because they knew if they didn't when they did there'd be nothing to reopen as the companies would be out of business!! This metric is unchanged. Having already experienced the horrors of shutdown it would be a shame to go down that road again.
The ultimate super spreader was the George Floyd protests yet in their infinite stupidly, at least in TX, the government targets bars, restaurants, and river rafting!!
The sad thing is that no one is collecting data to link protesters to increased Covid cases which is absolutely insane to say the least.
Social Justice trumps pandemic...welcome to the new age of lunacy.

So true!! As I understand it, NYC will not even allow the contact tracers to ask if an infected person went to a protest.
With contact tracing and increased testing which the "experts" wanted it is literally possible now to make both numbers of infected and percentage of positive tests go as high as they want. Governors who fell into that trap may have a hard time getting out of it. Of they were to take "lockdown" completely off the table, we might actually get somewhere!!
I actually think the Brazilian model is the best one to handle this. Don't shutdown whole segments of your economy and allow herd immunity to kick in much faster. Encourage young people to gather in large groups and we get herd immunity even faster. Perhaps it might not be a great idea to visit the grandparents right now though!!
This analysis is sound if we assume "this is a naturally occurring virus that escaped from a Chinese lab." If it's not, surely POTUS would have been briefed on this. In which case he would have told us.
Riigghht. All the states mentioned here were really big protest and riot states. Morons.
All states have a blue component. All states have had protests. Look at where the spikes are within states.
