Florida Sees Record Rise in COVID-19 Cases, San Antonio Hits 'Second Wave'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Novel coronavirus cases in Florida and Texas have seen significant spikes this week. Florida reported a record 1,698 new cases on Thursday, the Florida Department of Health confirmed. Parts of Texas, including San Antonio, are seeing "a very large increase" in cases and "we are entering a second wave," a health official in Texas warned.

The latest daily case count in Florida is the highest it's been since the outbreak began. It is nearly a 30 percent increase from Wednesday, which saw around 1,200 new infections. Thursday's daily case count also marks a nearly 70 percent increase on the figure reported since the state reopened on May 5, when 542 new cases were recorded.

Florida's daily case count has surpassed 1,000 six times in the past seven days, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The state's seven-day rolling average for daily cases has been on a mostly increasing trend from May 28.

1. Labels

Is it really a second wave or it just the continuation of the spread of the virus. To be a second wave, there would have to be a lull. And I don't think there's been a lull, or much of one, on a national scale. Maybe there are ups and downs in various places, but it strikes me that this is the virus still at work.

To call it a second wave, or whatever, allows people like Larry Kudlow, a moron if ever there was one, to say that there is no second wave, where did that notion come from. That's quibbling. The virus continues its spread, as viruses are wont to do. I don't think the virus is paying much attention to the trump junta.

4. It may be a second wave for the country, the first being in the northeast, but it's the first wave

for the states and cities of the south and west, like Phoenix.

2. So a two hundred percent increase since May fifth

Is soft pedaled as a seventy percent increase? Doubt that little fudgesicle was accidental.

3. For months San Antonio had the lowest rate among large metro areas.

Unfortunately, the tide is now turning against us.

6. Feel sorry for Floridians with DeSantis in charge

Not good.

Even PA had a slight spike to over 600 cases today. Hopefully a one day thing.
