so what about the other numbers?

Another bad report. Deaths still increasing week over week. And while there were fewer cases reported today than last Friday, there were also fewer tests, and the positive test rate actually went up.

and on the schools thing?

As the Trump administration rushes to reopen schools, *hundreds* of children are infected with #COVID19 at a single YMCA camp in Georgia in just four days, even after obeying safety protocols. https://t.co/dIhbTYF9Ni

Don't move to Houston if you foresee needing medical care in the foreseeable future:

Harris County, where Houston sits, has the fifth-highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases of any U.S. county.

NYTimes having a hard time with Birx:

Yes, we tried again and again to speak with Dr. Birx for this story. When she declined repeatedly, we also sent her detailed questions through a White House spokesman that she also declined to answer, issuing only a general statement which we included in the story. https://t.co/UyCH41sZvI

Both his parents died. He is an orphan.

We are going to hear this story a lot when schools open. Keep your kids home if you can. https://t.co/SVxSQ7zH3u

Today in @torontostar, we dug into @TOPublicHealth data to unearth this & more 1/3https://t.co/Gek0LckgOi pic.twitter.com/s8QppIwNvI
