Once again, most of the country is in trouble.

As of Monday, 31 states have reported more new Covid-19 cases this past week compared to the previous week, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

And nine states reported record-high Covid-19 hospitalizations on Sunday, according to the Covid Tracking Project: Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

"These are extremely alarming trends, and there should be warning bells going off around the country," emergency medicine physician Dr. Leana Wen said.

1. Genetically, it seems, Republicans simply don't respond to the frequency of warning bells. n/t

2. It's actually worse than that!

13 states have 25+ cases per 100k.

And 40 states, plus DC, are reporting numbers higher than they were 3 weeks ago.

The data I look at comes from Johns Hopkins. From 1 week to the next numbers may go down or up. I look at numbers reported 3 weeks ago, and compare them to the current week.

I've also noticed more lax behavior with regard to masks and social distancing, which is why the numbers are increasing.

3. Daily cases are going to continue to trend upwards until a BLUE WAVE spreads over the country

and some sanity returns.

5. Look out. More from the article:

"Anytime we ignore, minimize or underestimate this virus, we do so at our peril and the peril of people whose lives depend on us." - Dr. Tom Frieden, former director CDC.

As of Monday, coronavirus has infected more than 7.7 million and killed more than 214,000 people in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University.

> The overall death toll could nearly double to about 400,000 by February, according to the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Fellow former CDC Director Dr. Richard Besser said it's up to all Americans to make sure grim projections don't become reality.

"What we do matters," he said. "If we follow the lead of CDC and do the things that are working around the globe, in terms of wearing masks and social distancing and washing hands and investigating cases, ensuring people have what they need to isolate and quarantine, we can have a very different trajectory and we can get this in control."

6. I believe that the orange asshole gives less than zero fucks

He’s all about spite if he can’t win. So he’s purposely driving up cases to leave Biden a massive fuck up for Joe to clean up
