The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 6/8/20

[calimary]

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

At 12:02pm - domestic data
Confirmed cases US - 1,957,419
Deaths US - 111,279

There was also a separate graphic just as grim:
Deaths worldwide: 403,369

Because the George Floyd story has - pardon the pun - trumped everything including coronavirus tracking, there aren't many of the revolving graphics shown as regularly as was so even just a few weeks ago.

It's a different world. Eugene Robinson on MSNBC just made a memorable comment toward that end:
"I think the country is different from the country we had 30 days ago. And I'm not sure there's going back on this. I think there will have to be change."

1. Btw - here's where we were on Saturday, June 6th:

At 8:34am
Confirmed cases worldwide - 6,748,150
Deaths worldwide - 395,604
Confirmed cases US - 1,908,052
Deaths US - 109,764

That's the only reading I saw that day.

Compare:

At 12:02pm - domestic data
Confirmed cases US - 1,957,419
Deaths US - 111,279
Deaths worldwide - 403,369

Nicolle Wallace just showed a map of the US and said cases are on the rise again. And the "doctor on duty", Dr. Vin Gupta, said that a lot of doctors and nurses have been furloughed, as cases rise in California, Texas, and Minnesota. And the worry returns regarding ICU capacity - "we don't have enough beds."

We are NOT out of the woods on this yet. Sounds like we're still wandering around, lost, deep INSIDE the woods.
