Task force warns of 'further deterioration' as pandemic worsens
The White House coronavirus task force has again ramped up its warnings to states in a weekly set of reports as the pandemic continues to aggressively worsen, raising alarms on the potential impact of rising cases on hospitals.
"There is now aggressive, unrelenting, expanding broad community spread across the country, reaching most counties, without evidence of improvement but rather, further deterioration. Current mitigation efforts are inadequate and must be increased to flatten the curve to sustain the health system for both Covid and non-Covid emergencies," state reports dated November 15 obtained by CNN said
The language in the weekly reports, which offer the administration's most unvarnished picture of the pandemic, has become increasingly dire in recent weeks, matching the severity of the current situation as President Donald Trump remains silent on rising cases, focusing instead on positive vaccine developments in his only public event on the matter in a month last Friday.
Intensifying language
Reports shared with states over the summer months called for social distancing and face coverings, implementing contact tracing and closing bars and nightclubs in "red zone" states. In mid-September, reports reflected improvements in new case rates and test positivity. Reports in late October warned of "unrelenting, broad community spread in the Midwest, Upper Midwest, and West." By early November, reports said, "There is a continued increase in cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities nationally, spreading southward from the coldest climates as the population moves indoors and cases increase exponentially." And last week's reports suggested there was "accelerating community spread across the top half of the country" and "significant deterioration in the Sunbelt."

Meanwhile Trump tweets how mean life is to him.
