1. In Addition,...

...per Johns-Hopkins, positivity rate on June 14 was 4.4%, (7 day moving average).
The last data point there now shows the rate at 8.0.
So, clearly the cause isn't just because of more testing.
An 81% increase in positivity rate in a month!

11. The worrisome issue for me is whether SAR-COV-2 is setting a marker in people that it infects,

a marker which it picks up from on a second infection. Two large studies done across Italy, Spain and the UK indicate that a person has immunity for only up to 2-3 weeks after recovering from an infection.

A number of studies are showing that in even asymtomatic people, that COVID19 does some damage to at least the lungs. So, if a person never really has immunity and the virus creates comorbilities in that person on the first pass, does it take advantage of the comorbilities that it created the first time to make the person sicker on a follow up infection or kill that person? That question is fundamentally unanswered, but there have been documented cases where a person was asymptomatic, was sent home to recover then progressed to death in fairly rapid order.

Please don't look at the obituaries.

7. That is one tab I keep open during the day and refresh

The story is updated numerous times and is free to non-subscribers. Worldometers tends to have slightly higher numbers--somewhat different sources, I believe.

8. I'm glad they say "at least ... "

I know for a fact the PTB don't report the honest numbers.

5. And a high positivity rate

Means there is too LITTLE testing.

9. Fauci's 100,000 a day might arrive.

The states most affected seem to be taking *some* precautions now, so we'll see.

It's freakin' ridiculous either way!

14. Unfortunately Florida isn't.

At least not on the state level.

I'm afraid there might be something to the info posted on this thread about a short immunity period. Tom Hanks released info about himself and his wife and he was concerned since they are both having fewer antibodies to it as time goes by. It gets less and less and he's wondering if it isn't possible they could be re-infected in the future.

We’re number one! We have more cases than Asia! So much winning.
