The coronavirus surge is real, and it’s everywhere – Axios

The coronavirus pandemic is getting dramatically worse in almost every corner of the U.S.

The big picture: The U.S. today is getting closer to the worst-case scenario envisioned in the spring a nationwide crisis, made worse by a vacuum of political leadership, threatening to overwhelm hospitals and spread out of control.

• Nationwide, cases are up 30% compared to the beginning of this month, and dramatically worsening outbreaks in several states are beginning to strain hospital capacity the same concern that prompted the nationwide lockdown in the first place.
• This is the grimmest map in the eight weeks since Axios began tracking the change in new cases in every state.

By the numbers: Over half the country 26 states have seen their coronavirus caseloads increase over the past week.

Worse is the distinct possibility that a new mutation of the virus, worse than the current one, is on its way from China (thanks, China!). I’ll put up some stuff on that. I’m all for the the virus being a hoax and this all being a left-wing conspiracy to ruin the end of PDT’s term. Sadly, them seem not be the facts. Also, e.g., I suspect we will be seeing a big uptick from the BLM protests aka riots. Honey badger virus don’t care about your politics, as Dr. Masterson sez.
