Anyone live in a red state with increasing COVID-19 cases, what's it like?

Fuck you, Libtard! Trump don't wear no stinking mask!

And he'd sooner step on your foot than hold the door open for you.

Coronavirus: Warning thousands could be left with lung damage

Tens of thousands of people will need to be checked to see if they have permanent damage, doctors say.

www.bbc.com

Yeah, it's not talked about much but a lot of recovering covid-19 patients will have permanent lung damage, and who knows what else. This disease has a broader range of attack on the human body than any other disease in history. Got that from an extensive video by an M.D.

 

[vi edit]

I'm almost 4 months out from having it and my sense of taste and smell is still messed up. There's a lot we are still learning about it.

 

[Jhhnn]

I guess it's good news that the blue states aren't seeing an increase in the number of cases, as this conclusively proves that liberal government is better than conservative.

(Please check your sarcasm meters before responding).

We're all in this together, like it or not. Opening up the economy will obviously increase the infection rate. We have to do that to some degree or another & we have to be prepared to dial it back if things start to get out of hand. When people just go back to normal, so does the pandemic, exponential growth being a basic property of it all. As Paratus offered, it's doubling every week in Texas. Mere fact. SC, AZ & FL are similar. I'm sure there's some tipping point where only the most extreme measures can beat back the infection rate, measures simply impossible in this country.

Meanwhile, the POTUS wants to rally like it's 2016, this time smack dab in the middle of a pandemic hot zone. Speaking as a man who loves his country, I hope it fucking kills him. That's the only way his marching morons will listen to reason rather than to him.

Phoenix's Democratic Mayor Kate Gallego said Mr Trump's event would not be safe and urged him to wear a mask.

But the president, who has so far refused to wear a mask, insisted at the event that the coronavirus "plague" was "going away" and again referred to the virus as the "kung flu", which the White House denies is a racist term.

Yep, personally I'd be glad to hear the news in a few days that the POTUS has tested positive, having contracted covid-19 at his ill advised rally in Arizona. Were he to die, I have to say, I'd do a jig.

This is troubling but not unexpected... Wonder how it compares to the 2016 election map.

Cases are rising vertically in some US states. Here's a look at where numbers are going up.

[Bitek]

Politicians are doing those things.

Yeah, specifically Typhoid Donny and his merry band of sycophantic numnuts with their stupid and incompetent response.

Meanwhile China is back in business, Europe is coming back online, but we're following the track of dysfunctional second world countries.

Great job. Bravo. You won't nut up and wear a mask, but content to watch America bleed out and lose our leadership position in the world.

It's fitting you fuckers fly the Confederate flag of losers and traitors.

I've been hearing a lot more pre-4th fireworks than in previous years here in Berkeley, CA. I was wondering yesterday where I could get some. Walmart? Dunno. I haven't seen fireworks other than municipal sanctioned off a pier since I was a kid. I loved fireworks as a kid! Sparklers! Spinning gizmos, snakes, all of it. We used to get a box every year.

It's all fun and games until you realize Joe Biden is then up against Mike Pence. And Mike Pence, unlike Trump, could run again.

 

[Stokely]

Barely-Red Florida just reported 5500 new cases today at a 20% positive rate.


Here we go, buckle up. I wouldn't be hurting my foot or doing anything that puts you in a hospital about now.

Edit: it may be 15%, I read conflicting numbers in two stories. Neither is very good and both are the top of a rising trend.

Trump can kiss Florida goodbye. Seniors play an outsized role in Florida politics. They vote every chance they get, and it won't be for him. The sense of betrayal will only deepen as this unfolds. In a life or death scenario, the dirty son-of-a-bitch dumped 'em, and they know it.

 

[Stokely]

I'd like to think so. That anger will have to overcome their terror of the illegal hordes coming to take their money, and of course they are always angry about welfare queens. Trump also plays into that "remember when things were better--for you, old white people?" In reality, he has does nothing for people not in the 1% tax bracket, but reality and facts don't seem to matter compared to "feelings" anymore.

I think we should just bring light into the lungs to eradicate the disease. How hard can it be? Maybe just put some liberal tears on it, it'll buff right out

 

[Juiblex]

I'm in Iowa, and I haven't really seen/heard of anything. Things have opened things up over a month ago.

Other than the one old folks home in my county that supposedly infected 20-30 people back in March, it's been non existent. Everybody has been and is operating like they did before. Kids haven't ceased to play outside, people are still going to work, and the stores are still full of people. Compared to a year ago, the only difference is people are wearing masks at a 50% rate.

 

[ElFenix]

I live in Jax and each time I go out I witness more people doing less to protect themselves from COVID-19. The mayor refuses to institute a mandatory face mask policy and the R's are reflecting this in their behavior.

They show little respect for social distancing and will ignore aisle directions in the stores so I monitor the cases per zip code and have moved to shopping in the outlying areas with the lowest rates to protect myself.

every time someone says jacksonville:

Be aware that the vast majority of these cases come from 6 or 7 out of 67 counties. In my county we have diagnosed about 600 edit: 614 as of 6/25 cases and currently have:

Hospitalizations 10 edit: 6 as of 6/25. Available Bed Capacity 99%
ICU Cases 3. Available ICU capability 95%
Ventilators 3. Available Vent. Capacity 96%

And we have more cases than any county that abuts us.

Both FL and TX have a huge jump in cases. Others states as well, but those two just jumped way up.

I would guess that the jumps are in metro areas / counties

Correct. With Bexar and Travis yet to update today, Texas could hit close to 6000 today. Texas is being driven by Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and DFW. All are in the danger zone where their hospitals can be overrun quickly if things continue on their current trajectory. Houston will be the first be overrun, that should happen around or slightly after July 4. Austin and San Antonio will follow shortly there after and then DFW by mid July.

Theres a model that shows Texas peaking in mid July but the peak is over hospital capacity in many regions.

Anything can happen but I expect it to get worse before it starts to get better. I live outside Dallas and will be hunkering down again and only going out to get groceries. Probably only getting groceries by curb side pickup.

Everything else being equal, why would it peak at all short of herd immunity? Texas currently has about 5000 new cases per day nearly doubling every week. Maintaining that trajectory, they'll have 20K new cases per day 2 weeks from now, 80K new cases per day in a month. But, you know, the important thing is to keep Trump happy & give him 4 more glorious years. Oh, yeh. Oh, Baby!
