Right now it's at 49,198!

Fauci's estimate of 100,000 per day may be accurate after all.

6. Pretty sure we will. Seems like the numbers keep creeping up after the deadline.

I’d say we’ll hit 50k today and most days after. As someone else mentioned seems like deaths are going up again. Those numbers seem a lot more erratic.

My niece's wedding (we did not attend) was last weekend. No masks. No distancing. Drinking. Dancing. Laughing.

I am horrified!

And I am staying the F*** at home - just like Samuel L. Jackson suggested.

Did you check out Israel on Worldometers? Look at their graphs. They were high then almost down to 0, now back up to where they were. What is up with that?

Daily New Cases: 7 day average (click this checkbox just below the graph)
June 9: 21,282
July 1: 44,814
+111% increase (2.11 Fold)
yup. In just 22 days.

Another grim daily new cases 7 day moving average statistic
April 10: 32,464 - previous pre-June pandemic highpoint
July 1: 44,814
+38% increase over the April 10 peak

June 25 was the date that the April 10 peak was first surpassed.

5. Just remember that it will take about two weeks

before actions we take today will start to show up in the growth rate in cases because of the long virus incubation period. I think 100,000 new cases per day is very possible.

10. Right. Dr Fauci doesn't talk out of his ass like the people in the trump administration.

11. NM just instituted a $100 fine for refusing to wear a mask

My guess is that it won't be particularly enforceable, but the effort is appreciated.

Here is an interactive map showing the county by county rate of spread. https://globalepidemics.org/key-metrics-for-covid-suppression/ Be patient, heavy traffic has crashed it several times today.

AZ looks like it bled to death.
