Current Events > United States 7/10/2020 - Over 70,000 COVID-19 cases

(+) Yeah! (+)

Probably won't be long before we see 100,000 cases per day

Texas is probably going to shut down again

America is finished.

What do you hope to gain by posting this?

That and the increase in deaths is just because we're testing. America leads the world in testing, everyone else just stopped testing to make us look bad.

A discussion about the data

That is insane. I seriously cannot believe how this country is handling things.

My family is going to Myrtle Beach tomorrow. My step dad, knowing Myrtle is a hot spot, is adamant that he will be going out to eat and doing whatever he can. His elderly parents are the same way.

What a terrible time to move back in with them.

Yeah how does a current event matter on a board talking about current events? Like what are you hoping to do here, discuss a current event? Those are off topic here so scram so this Trumper doesn't have to see his lies of America doing great exposed.

The mods decided we're not allowed to have an honest discussion about the data. Then again, so did everyone else.

So are people still blaming GOP states. Or it do people realize the spike has to be going on in 20+ states and include liberal ones.

The vast majority of the country is handling the outbreak terribly. I just mentioned Texas because that's where I live.

Wow, 10,000 more that yesterday. I hope it doesn't keep going up 18% or so

good to see the USA staying on top!

US has 3.2 million cases 41 million tests. Brazil has 1.8 million cases 4 million tests. That might be what that user means.

Trump said something stupid like our numbers are only rising because we are testing better than other countries. And that if we stopped testing, we'd have fewer new cases.

Fuck it then, stop pulling over suspected DUIs and the number will go down. Progress!

USA! NUMBA ONE!

if we had no form of testing, there would be no death. its a deep state mission to make us all mortal by testing us for disease.

Even worse than Brazil wtf is going on down there

China always wins baby

According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ the US is 11th in cases per capita and 9th in deaths per capita. The only two countries that are doing worse than the US on both counts are San Marino and Andorra, two countries that together have 0.0014% of the World's population and a single active Covid-19 case.
Because the US has done quite a lot of testing (good for 23rd in the World adjusted for population), it's likely that the undercounts in some Asian, African and South American countries are more significant than in the US. But even if the case and death numbers for each country in those continents were multiplied by five, the US would still be only doing better than some of them.

Murica wins again

We are fucked. Incoming 200K deaths before October

there isn't much to be done at this point, the chance to shut down came and went and trump ensured that was bundled. Charge him treason and enagering american lives and accept our new normal. Other countries won't accept american tourist for 1-2 years. People can't be locked up for another 4-6 months.

No, i'm calling to charge him with treason. the only punishment for treason isn't execution. Biden is anti capital punishment and there is 0% chance a treason trial would be done and over with in under 5 months.

Tobacco deaths generate tax revenue, covid shutdowns lower tax revenue and hurt the economy.

Tobacco is also self-induced and mostly only affects the smokers. COVID will affect everybody.

2nd hand smoke is estimated around 40k annually. Would you like to try again or are you a smoker who wants to keep smoking? and if we're using affects and not deaths, smoking gets far worse.

And we haven't even talked about the pollution problem of cigarette butts that again, grows that group of affects. Or how it still being socially acceptable means kids watch their parents/older siblings/actors/actress do it and go, i wanna do it too. Smoking is going to impact people who choose to put themselves at a higher risk the same as covid is going to imapct people who put themselves at higher risk and both impacts the people around them as well. One does it for a lifetime the other does it for a couple weeks per person.

Ok. Why are people listening to a politician about a public health issue when there's lots of information out from CDC, Fauci etc

Republicans have spent decades building mistrust in government institutions, education, and anti-intellectualism.

There is a large segment of the US population who won't believe anything the CDC says, think Fauci is evil, etc.
