* - Numbers are a lower bound. True numbers are being suppressed by the Trump administration
Another day, another record number of #TrumpVirus cases:
Numbers are headed in the wrong direction across the country, according to a CNN analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.Only one US state, Hawaii, is showing a decrease in new cases greater than 10% compared to the previous week. Five others -- Idaho, North Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Arkansas -- are holding steady, while the remaining 44 states are showing increases in new cases greater than at least 10% compared to the week prior.Nationwide, the seven-day average of new cases is at its highest ever: 161,165 cases a day. That's up 27% compared to last week.An early cold snap in the middle of the country at the end of September helped drive the recent surge in cases as people moved indoors, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, said Thursday.Birx asked Americans to limit gatherings, stay apart and wear masks -- including indoors, she said, because of the possibility of asymptomatic spread.
Sadly, yes, this means you SHOULDN'T have Thanksgiving dinner with someone outside your bubble. Lives are literally at stake.
