122,000 deaths in the U.S. with about 500-900 new ones a day.U.S. cases surge toward May’s high, with clusters among young people linked to bars and fraternity parties.
The United States reported more than 30,000 new infections on Friday, its highest total since May 1, with cases rising in 19 states across the South, West and Midwest.
Southern officials in particular are speaking out with increasing alarm about the large number of cases turning up in young adults.
At least 100 cases were linked on Friday to employees and customers of bars in the Tigerland nightlife district near the Louisiana State University campus. In South Carolina, cases among people ages 21 to 30 have grown 413 percent since April 4. And in Mississippi, state officials said several cases had been tied to fraternity rush parties in Oxford, home to the University of Mississippi. More than 80 percent of new cases in Oxford were in people age 18 to 24.
fucking hell these trump supporters are literally trying to remove themselves from the gene pool.Trump rallygoer sans mask: “We had a friend who died from Covid, and his son was on a ventilator, he almost died. So we know it’s real, but then at the same time you don’t know what the facts are, you feel like maybe one side plays it one way and the other side plays it another.”
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-21/ … g/12377556US President Donald Trump says he ordered authorities to slow down the rate of coronavirus testing because it was adding to the number of COVID-19 infections being recorded.
Mr Trump described testing as a "double-edged sword", saying: "When you do testing to that extent you're going to find more people."
"You're going to find more cases, so I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down please.'
"They test and they test and we got tests — people don't know what's going on. We got tests, 'We got another one over here'."
Because it's all young people getting sick. If you look at the shaming photos, it's all idiots in their 20s out partying that are getting sick.SuperJail Warden wrote:
New cases in the U.S. about 3,000 off from the the April peak. This is assuming the southern states aren't lying about their reported numbers. Good news is that deaths are way down.

Seems to think he'll get unemployment if that happened.

We are getting better at treating COVID but there is also lag between infection and deaths. Something like 10 days between death and diagnosis.Jay wrote:

Yea, and he's a trump fan though he says it's cause he's contrarian. Beginning to doubt thatSuperJail Warden wrote:

It's better than older people getting sick. Not many people in their 20s are likely to get seriously ill. It's why the infection rate is climbing but the death rate is dropping. Be nice to just get it over with rather than being at a constant slow boil. The problem is these kids will infect their parents and grandparents.uziq wrote:
