1. Oh shit and the day is not over . . .

I know the hospitalization has been going up, I don't know about the deaths.

[kysrsoze]

2. Is this legit? It's way over what we've seen here to date. I don't know who Amr Khalifa is.

[soothsayer]

4. Could be the result of this backlog?

Same guy

Health officials in #California confirmed 11,694 more cases of the #coronavirus on Tuesday, (includes 2000 case backlog from weekend)

[kysrsoze]

11. Not sure about the tally reason, but i did see this indeed was announced by Newsom. This is bad.

Things are getting worse.

[spinbaby]

14. LA County didn't report over the weekend

Planned computer upgrade. Those numbers added to today’s numbers will give the impression of a large surge.

[soothsayer]

15. Ah

[SoCalNative]

19. They started reporting again on Monday

the counts for Friday through the weekend

[dem4decades]

3. Can't be true, Pence said today that things are getting better.

[soothsayer]

5. Of course. Birx too sort of

[dem4decades]

12. There's a reason Fauci wasn't invited.

[Nevilledog]

17. This

6. I guess we'll see

Worldometers won't fill in CA numbers until like 8PM usually. Their numbers don't always match these proclamations since they operate on an 8PM end-of-day day.

[soothsayer]

7. Should I kill the thread?

[Dem2]

8. It might be true

They just hit 4000, which is a large number for only 5PM

[BootinUp]

9. I'm surrounded!

10. Just Looked At Johns-Hopkins Site

They show 11,531 yesterday, and 6,090 so far today.
Seven day moving average positivity has gone from 4.5 on June 21 to 7.5 yesterday. Last time it was higher than 7.5 appears to be early May.
Here's the link, with California already selected.

21. Thanks

[ProfessorGAC]

23. I Really Like That Site

Loads fast. Graph is easy to mess around with. Can change axes, turn on & off the 3 items.
I found it by accident.
It's bookmarked now!!l

13. Lots of idiots packing churches and beaches

*Today about one in eight deaths related to covid
*968 deaths yesterday. Soon we'll hit 1000/day
*Reports of multiple neurological and other damaging effects even in those without symptoms.

This is all Trump's fault. He will go down in history as our worst, most corrupt president

[Ms. Toad]

16. It appears that was the total number of cases reported for the first time between 7/7 and 7/8

That number includes a backlog of LA cases reported for the first time yesterday, even though they occurred earlier in the week or over the weekend.

I don't see any data for how many cases that might be - although yesterday's CA report was 8631 (which is already higher than the June 24 numbers the Newsom press conference says today's numbers shattered. I'd expect a number higher than 8631, but probably lower than 10,000 for today.)

[Nululu]

27. At statistica said it was one day

You may be right but cases are blowing up.

I am so disgusted by people refusing to mask. Evil, disgusting lowlifes.

[Ms. Toad]

28. The CA total for the day was right where I predicted it would be - 8561.

And yes, cases are blowing up (just not the ginormous number in CA for the 8th that was reported). And I'm right there with you being angry at mask-slackers.

[pnwmom]

18. CA does have 41 million people. As a fraction of the population, FL and TX are higher. nt

[rictofen]

24. It's interesting though how just a few months ago

Some people here got slammed for using per capita figures. No matter how small another country's population was compared to our own, it's like we were supposed to go by gross numbers for cases. And there were many sarcastic threads "celebrating" our ranking number one in total cases.

[Hekate]

20. Who is this person?

Please let us know that.

I see Professor GAC checked at Johns Hopkins

[SoCalNative]

25. He's just repeating

what was stated by Governor Newsom today in his daily news update.

[Hekate]

26. Probably better for the OP to reference Gov Newsom then

[SoCalNative]

22. According to LA Times

Last edited Wed Jul 8, 2020, 07:57 PM - Edit history (1)

it was 9500 cases Tuesday, and the reporting is normally a day behind, at least in LA County

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-08/california-sets-record-for-most-coronavirus-cases-in-a-single-day

But Governor Newsom quoted the number in the OP in his daily news conference today.

29. No sure but that TWEET is from yesterday...
