Confirmed cases US - 2,638,341
Deaths US - 128,209

How are Florida, Texas, and Arizona today? I know PA increased from yesterday, but that often happens on Tuesday. Western PA and Philly are having increases.

How are Florida, Texas, and Arizona today? Fucked as usual, according to the stats.

The map they show in that revolving series of graphics has all three states in red - which disunites 50K+ confirmed cases.

The last "States with Most Cases" graphic I saw at 11:37am, Pacific time, had two * out of three of 'em listed in the top five:
New York - 398,929
California - 223,684
New Jersey - 176,346
Texas - 158,766 *
Florida - 152,434 *

Now, at 10:09am, the newest graphic - New Cases Over Past 72 Hours - lists all three *.
Florida - 23,381 *
California - 19,298
Texas - 15,387 *
Arizona - 8,075 *
Georgia - 6,422

I have another statistic for you. As of today, my husband and I have been in self-imposed quarantine for 114 days. We're old. But we're okay. Still healthy - and so are all our friends. But they're doing what we're doing. Staying in, wearing a mask when going out, and going out only when it's absolutely necessary.

Yesterday we tried a drive-up grocery online-order experiment. You set it up, pick out your stuff, pay, and set a time when you want to go pick it up. When the time comes, they text you a reminder, and you drive over, park in the designated pick-up area, pop the trunk open and an assistant comes out and loads your groceries into your car. Wearing gloves and mask, btw. No human contact. And no exchange of possible droplets. and then you drive home! It worked fine!

Let's remember that. And spread the word. You get a REPUBLICAN governor? You get somebody who acts WAY too quickly to open up your state before it's ready or even minimally reasonable to do so, and look what you get. What did you gain by jumping the gun like that, when your state didn't satisfy even this White House's guidelines for reopening? You just had to be in a big fat hurry - and look what/where it got you? You're going to have to close back down again - something you sneered at, and your governors scoffed at.

And the virus is running wild, unmanaged, uncontrolled. And if it's happening there, it's spreading all over to states like California whose governors tried to act responsibly and make the right decisions to favor life and health FIRST and THEN the economy afterwards.

And I'll bet all those GOP governors insist they're "pro-life"...

Indications are that they'll open schools pretty much as usual. This, of course, will lead to a huge spike. Every teacher can tell you that schools are great at distributing infectious diseases.

No one can be too safe in this pandemic. I did outdoor dining for the first time in a while today. The restaurant still did not have indoor seating, even though my county is in the green phase. It is good they are taking precautions individually.
