That said, it essentially matches the high on the entire chart. Bars are almost identical in height.
Some of that can be increased testing though.
Part, obviously is increasing infections. Arizona had a positivity of around 14 yesterday. That's very high.
Deaths don't appear to have spiked yet either.
The pattern in the bars looks the same, actually trending down.
Maybe many of these new cases are younger people who are not dying from it.
Here's a link. Have to scroll down for the charts. There are 4.

no social distancing, go to beaches, pools, parks, house parties, bar and any other crowded places.

1918 all over again and maybe worse. What would it take? People dying on the streets? People falling out, hospitals full.

Ugh.

Acting as if it was over. Not even taking minor precautionary measures. Not a surprise to me at all. It could have worked if people had continued to minimize their outings, wore masks, telecommuted where possible, and continued to maintain distances. But nope... drop it all because its over.
I knew this was going to be the case when i drove by a Target the day after they began lifting restrictions and the lot was completely full.
