Coronavirus: Bay Area begins to see more deaths as California continues to break records
11,100 new cases, 138 new deaths and the second-highest single-day increase in hospitalizations

California had one of its grimmest days yet of the coronavirus crisis Tuesday, reporting near-record numbers of new cases and deaths.
The state added 11,100 positive tests to its COVID-19 case count and 138 to its death toll from the virus, while hospitalizations climbed to new highs, according to data compiled by this news organization. Both cases and deaths would be daily records if not for inflated data on July 6 from delays over the holiday weekend. Nonetheless, the seven-day averages for each number rose to 8,792 cases per day 54% higher than two weeks ago and 95 deaths per day, a 50% increase in two weeks.
The state also saw its second-highest single-day increase in hospital patients confirmed to have the virus, adding 260 for a total of 6,745 on Monday, the most recent day for which data was available. The total rose 4% on Monday alone and has increased 33% from two weeks ago (incidentally, the day with the only larger single-day increase June 29, when there were 301 new patients and 5,077 total).
In the Bay Area, there was no doubt about the numbers to start the week: the region reported a record number of new cases Monday, then followed it by nearly matching that number Tuesday. Hospitalizations were up 7% Monday from the day before and 53% higher than two weeks ago; the 649 patients on Monday were the most of any point in the pandemic. Even deaths, which so far had not hit the region as hard as other parts of the state, have begun to rise here following their upward trend statewide that started a little over a week ago.

what a fucking disaster this is

Remember when people were saying that California had achieved herd immunity because it had already had a huge corona wave over christmas but nobody noticed or something completely insane like that? Good times.

Ugh California, wear your fucking masks...

Dumbass in Chief wants to stop testing

California is the epicenter, said Dr. David Rubin, who watched the data come in from his post as director of PolicyLab, a research facility at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia that feeds data into the White House Coronavirus Task Force. I would add them to the list with Texas, Arizona, and Florida.

People on the KPIX youtube would disagree
Most likely mentioned on reddit as well.

Disagree with what? I never said that no one hasnt said that. Just that I have never heard that particular sentiment.

I live here as well, I never heard anyone IRL say it but there were articles floating around online throwing the theory out there.

I remember topics about that here.

No way that these cases in CA don't creep up into Oregon and WA. We're all probably fucked. Oh well at least I won't have to watch Pete Carroll piss away another of Wilson's prime playing years.

I remember that KTVU did a story about that theory. They also said something along the grounds of since the Niners lost the Superbowl, we were spared from a even bigger spread of the virus.

The theory was birthed by a conservative, but

also you got people on the Washington Post comment section talking about it.
Last I checked, conservatives aren't normally using the Washington Post.

Damn. That is Florida type numbers. They are going to be the next Florida.

trump is a failed leader

That's a pretty large one-day spike, I wonder if some backlog got cleared yesterday or something. Even when Florida topped 15k the other day it went back to "normal" the next day.

Florida is still posting similar or higher numbers with like half the population.

California would basically have to have double the daily case count to be as comparatively bad as Florida is.

No, because herd immunity requires something like 90% infection rates, and essentially requires a vaccine to maintain, and there was no way in hell they hit that number and we don't have a vaccine so.... yea.

Anybody that was saying this was straight up wrong, full-stop, and has no idea what "herd immunity" actually entails.
