The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 6/1/20

All times Pacific, source: NBC News

This is the only set of statistics I've seen all day, what with the ongoing national agony over the unarmed George Floyd's murder at a the hands of the Minneapolis police. But it's bad enough just by itself.

At 6:01pm
Confirmed cases US - 1,804,977
Deaths US - 105,168


Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC had a good and rather profound way of boiling it down, earlier this afternoon, on this SEVENTH day of national uproar after Floyd's killing:
There are THREE crises in America right now!
1) Our health
2) Our economy
3) Our soul

Hard to top that.
