Coronavirus Cases Spike Across Sun Belt as Economy Lurches into Motion

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CHICAGO — The warning has echoed ominously for weeks from epidemiologists, small-town mayors and county health officials: Once states begin to reopen, a surge in coronavirus cases will follow.

That scenario is now playing out in states across the country, particularly in the Sun Belt and the West, as thousands of Americans have been sickened by the virus in new and alarming outbreaks.

Hospitals in Arizona have been urged to activate emergency plans to cope with a flood of coronavirus patients. On Saturday, Florida saw its largest single-day count of cases since the pandemic began. Oregon has failed to contain the spread of the virus in many places, leading the governor on Thursday to pause what had been a gradual reopening.

And in Texas, cases are rising swiftly around the largest cities, including Houston, San Antonio and Dallas.

4. I think the CDC said about 140 degrees.... We may make it this year

2. It will go away

just as soon as 70 to 80 percent of everyone in the world has been infected.

Which will kill as many as 50 million people (depending on how fast the infection spreads and how capable the medical system is in each affected nation in dealing with it).

Of course, it won't REALLY go away... that depends on how immune someone is who was infected and recovered.

This is an important study that goes region by region taking into account population age, co-morbidities, healthcare systems, etc to come with a projected modeling of how Covid-10 is likely to cause the deaths of people in those regions.

Very sobering.
