85% of all #COVID19 deaths yesterday occurred in just 10 countries. And my god, India and Pakistan! (Which have undertesting on top).

In reply to Crazy statement by Arizona

I'm a little surprised by this because the area of Arizona I live in seems to be doing pretty well. Most businesses are closed. Food stores are careful with someone at the entrance disinfecting each cart before you take it. Plastic shields at the cash registers. Squares on the sidewalk 6 feet apart leading into the larger stores like Walmart. Most workers and many people wearing masks. etc. Perhaps because I live in a liberal part of Arizona and the city I shop in is mostly retirees.

Crazy statement by Arizona health department: “we are not going to be able to stop this spread, so we can’t stop living as well”

Arizona DHS is basically saying - ‘Screw it, it is impossible, so let’s just bring on the epidemic - come what may’? pic.twitter.com/VAbaDDmbVH

Arizona hospitalizations surging. Testing rising and cases spiking — but cases rising much faster than testing volume, as seen by the increasing and dangerously high %POSITIVITY (right column). Arizona has completely lost the gains made in early May. pic.twitter.com/gIdApsmlv7

also he retweeted this:

#Arizona has done nothing to mitigate #covid spread. No masks mandated. Non essential businesses open. The governor doesn’t wear a mask. So we are just gonna let people die after leading them blind into the pandemic. Call @NYGovCuomo, he already laid out the #covid blueprint.

Lots of people either starving or spreading and catching coronavirus in Latin America:

the director of the Pan American Health Organization, to warn on Tuesday that the unfolding crisis had “pushed our region to the limit.” Cases are surging in countries that took early isolation measures — like Peru, which is just behind Italy in its case count — and in those that ignored recommendations, like Brazil,

Forced to choose between watching citizens die of the virus or of hunger, governments are loosening lockdowns, even as they watch infections climb.

“We go to bed without eating, giving nothing to our children,” said María Camila Salazar, 22, a mother of two in Medellín, Colombia’s second-largest city. The country has more than 40,000 confirmed cases and 1,300 deaths.Ms. Salazar and her family, like millions across Latin America, collect cardboard, glass and plastic for a living, selling it by the kilogram. Their buyers closed during the country’s lockdown, just as she gave birth to her second child.

President Iván Duque of Colombia recently relaxed lockdown rules, allowing local officials to make the final call on regulations. The national caseload subsequently surged.

And minor things like, oh, the entire travel industry is so fucked:

[...] New cases reached a new single-day global high on Sunday: 136,000, with three-quarters in just 10 countries, mostly in the Americas and South Asia. That adds to a global case tally of more than 7 million people worldwide and more than 400,000 deaths [....]

How is this different from getting all upset about a southern church services a couple months back? A number of the people there were wearing masks but everyone was all outraged. And it was at least in a tent outdoors. I really don't get the hypocrisy. There are safer ways to protest. I've got to say I don't like this, it doesn't make me sympathetic, it's selfish and undisciplined with a sense of entitlement of youth. Or else why not just come out and be honest and say you don't care if all the boomers die or at least get handicapped because they ruined the world for you.

Been on the phone with a variety of people in Arizona. The theme of this thread is not Arizona. It’s what happens in the newest hot spots. 1/

Cases are up 240% in last 2 weeks & hospitalizations are up 77% this past month, 31% this week alone.

The positive rate for COVID testing is increasing. That’s not a great combination. 2/
