Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on July 2 issued a statewide mandate requiring Texans to wear masks in public in any county with 20 or more positive covid-19 cases. (Gov. Greg Abbott)
- The United States reported 55,220 new coronavirus cases Thursday, surpassing Wednesday’s record of 52,789, previously the largest single-day total since the start of the pandemic.
- Florida on Thursday reported 10,109 new cases of the coronavirus, marking a new single-day record for the state, which reported 6,563 cases on Wednesday. There were 68 deaths, for a total of 3,718.
- It’s the 25th consecutive day that Florida has set a record high in its seven-day rolling average.
- Georgia , one of the first states to loosen restrictions, joined Florida and several other states in setting single-day records of new cases. Georgia reported 3,472, up from 2,976 on Wednesday.
- In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Thursday issued a statewide mandate requiring Texans to wear masks in public in any county with 20 or more positive covid-19 cases — a dramatic move that comes as cases in the state continue to climb. On Thursday, Texas in a single day reported 7,915 new cases of the coronavirus.
Here are additional significant developments:
- During an event in Florida, Vice President Pence sought to distinguish the surge of coronavirus cases across the Sun Belt from the larger pandemic that shut down the country. “It’s not one large pandemic, but rather pandemics that emerge individually,” Pence said.
- Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has been hospitalized after testing positive for the coronavirus, according to a statement posted to his Twitter account Thursday. The announcement comes almost two weeks after Cain joined thousands of people at President Trump’s Tulsa campaign rally.
- Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease expert, attributed rising case numbers in the United States at least partially to the fact lockdown measures were more lenient than those in some European countries that have since managed to turn the tide on the virus.

"Not one large pandemic but rather pandemics that emerge individually? I'm sure that will make the dead and dying, as well as their families, feel a lot better!"
/sarcasm
Some kind of a nutcase Vice President Pence is!!!!
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has been hospitalized after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The announcement comes almost two weeks after Cain joined thousands of people at President Trump’s Tulsa campaign rally.
Surprise, surprise! A rally at which most of those in attendance didn't wear a mask (and of course Trump himself has steadfastly refused to wear a mask....and people wonder why those in the area get infected)

Students in Alabama threw COVID contest parties
Students hosted the parties to intentionally infect each other with the new coronavirus. . . party organizers purposely invited guests who tested positive for COVID-19. She said the students put money in a pot and whoever got COVID first would get the cash.
Tuscaloosa Fire Chief Randy Smith told the City Council on Tuesday that The Fire Department thought the parties were rumors, but Smith said after some research, officials discovered they were real.
“Not only do the doctors’ offices confirm it but the state confirmed they also had the same information,” Smith said.
What happened to counting "Deaths". Not really relevant any more ?
Nope.
As you mentioned, there's not a single mention of deaths anywhere in the so-called "Mainstream media"!
. . . marking a new single-day record for the state, which reported 6,563 cases on Wednesday. There were 68 deaths, for a total of 3,718.
That's a good thing.
"Now comes the day of just getting sick like normal".
What about "The Flu". Apparently it's been eradicated ?
Nope-- that's just more "Fake News".
(Perhaps people are spending too much time watching so-called "mainstream media" sites like Fox News???)
Just Fox News ?
We want "Death Counts", We Want "Death Counts", We want ........
Yup.
Trevor Noah your thing ?
???
I Believe !
I think they are lumping in the "seasonal flu" numbers to make it look worse than it is. Isn't the death rate below 1%, about the same as the seasonal variety?
The Media says they aren't, but who the Fuck knows what's real or not anymore with them.
"Isn't the death rate below 1%, about the same as the seasonal variety?"
That's why "Death Rates" aren't the talk of the town anymore. Wouldn't be "Prudent" ...... TO THE CAUSE !
And disregard for wearing masks and other preventive measures continues to get crazier and crazier:
Pence's Arizona Trip Was Delayed By Secret Service Agents Getting COVID-19
Trump himself refuses to wear a mask, social distance or take other sensible measures. I wouldn't be surprised if hwe's the "Super-Spreader" who passed the disease on to them!
But Dr. Fauci said.......... Masks ......... Could do more harm than good.
Could do more harm than good.
When was that?

Top disease official: Risk of coronavirus in USA is 'minuscule'; skip mask and wash hands
March:
Weird Huh ?
Apparently !
You might be right.
So many "Changes", so little time.
Trump is tested daily. Why wear a mask if he has no symptoms. In reality masks offer little protection...distancing is much more effective.
Optics is everything, Biden looks silly and fearful hiding behind a black mask.
The US has too many selfish assholes when it comes to common sense measures for containment. If they were only infecting themselves then I would not be worried but they put me at risk every hour of every day. I will keep on staying home, wearing a mask, and only go out when I have to. It isn't fair but what can I do.
Yup:
Herman Cain Hospitalized With Coronavirus After Trump Rally In Tulsa
The US has too many selfish assholes when it comes to common sense measures for containment.
Yes-- and apparently dear Leader's so-called "rally" @ Mt Rushmore not only refuses to make it mandatory to wear masks-- but also totally ignores the need for social distancing.
Many "people are saying" that may eventually result in more dead selfish assholes-- which is not a kind thing to say!
(But of course those that catch the virus there don't all live in the Dakotas-- they are Trump sycophants from all over the U.S.....many will be going home and further spread the Virus
It isn't fair but what can I do.
Well yesterday I heard Pence say that we have the virus under control-- so that will probably change soon.

Coronavirus Cases Soar as Fauci Warns New Mutation May Cause Virus to Spread More Easily
The coronavirus may also be spreading more easily. Fauci warned that a new strain of the virus that is dominant around the world could contain a mutation that allows it to spread more easily. Although research is still under way.
There’s little dispute about it,” Fauci said.
BY INCLUDING BOTH ACTIVE CASES WITH CASES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD THE CHINA CORONAVIRUS IN THE PAST, THE CDC IS GROSSLY OVERSTATING THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES IN THE US.

A Trump impersonator. You should go on TV.
LOL I did not write that article...

Yep, that's where it came from, and was perhaps created there. That's what most of the world believes.
Denial is a terrible thing for a mind to waste.
I don't deny that it is alleged to have started in China. I should ignore the fact that SOME Americans [Deleted] do not follow the advice that the rest of the world does to NOT put geographical names to diseases or viruses, as that foments xenophobia, hatred and has already proven in the USA to have caused harrassment and endangerment to Asian Americans, [Deleted]
“do not follow the advice that the rest of the world does to NOT put geographical names to diseases or viruses,”
what about ebola? Zika? West nile? Lyme disease? There are many more named after geographical places. china was sloppy and untruthful at the start Of the pandemic, why should they get special treatment?
Special treatment? No, going against international guidelines is "special treatment", especially when the intention for doing so is obvious enough for a child to understand. It's not going to help. Deflecting from Trump's negligence will not get him reelected.
As i said, there are many diseases named after geographical regions. Why is it not ok to name covid-19 for the region in which it originated?
Yes, we long have referred to disease outbreaks by ...

Despite repeated advice from the medical community that naming diseases after their place of origin has no benefit and actually causes harm, President Donald Trump and some conservative media figures continue to use the phrase “Chinese Virus” to describe the new coronavirus.
It's nice and safe to be white, eh Tex?
I never expected you to apologize for the pain being caused to Asian Americans - after all, you're a Trump supporter and WHATEVER he does must be supported and not contradicted (O'Donnell Republican playbook).
I may be visibly white, but I'm also a member of a minority that has historically and continues to suffer the worst discrimination ever imposed by others, including slavery and attempted (and almost successful) annihilation, and have experienced it enough personally to know it when I see it. As well, I love my wife and even YOU are probably protective of your wife.
Oh, you didn't know?
