*3,200 people in Texas are being hospitalized every day for #coronavirus, but GOP Gov. Greg Abbott says state will remain “wide open for business.”
*Abbott still won’t allow Texas cities to impose mandatory mask rules. https://t.co/RgRrnUSMOx

Yes. Here in Arizona inpatient is 80%+ Covid, ICU is 80%+ Covid. It is expected to get worse over coming weeks.

He's an idiot, he doesn't know anything about his own programs and if he did he wouldn't know how to talk about them.

The White House continues to say that he hasn’t actually slowed any testing down. But if this is true, then why have they rejected every proposal to create an Operation Warp Speed for testing? https://t.co/AMuiAYtT1V

Here is the White House’s national coronavirus testing plan released at the end of May: 100 million swabs and otherwise it put the onus on the states to accelerate testing innovation and deployment. https://t.co/PliqDM22ja

(The Bolton interview is a cogent reminder of what we've heard from tons of other people on same. He doesn't know his own policies, he just babbles and flits around and plays with some words he heard on Fox News or somethin.)

Cases are going up in the U.S

Cases are going up in the U.S. because we are testing far more than any other country, and ever expanding. With smaller testing we would show fewer cases!

Tests are only meaningful related to new cases, and then tests help only with efficient contact tracing targeted around new cases. Germany does over 100 tests per new case (450 new cases/day), Australia 1000 per new case (11 new cases/day), and America, about 12 per new case (30,000 new cases/day). see link

The new standard will hospital admissions and ICU deaths. Some cases will be missed because a COVID associated heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or stroke is not tested.
