CNBC:
Arizona, Florida, California and Nevada reported record spikes in confirmed Covid-19 cases on Friday as states continue their phased reopenings and ramp up testing.
The Arizona Department of Health Services reported 3,246 new positive cases, exceeding Thursday’s single-day high of 2,519 cases. Florida health officials added 3,822 new cases Friday morning, surpassing the state’s previous single-day high of 3,207 cases also reported on Thursday.
....
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb tweeted on Friday that Arizona has entered a “period of steep growth in its Covid epidemic.
Gottlieb told CNBC on Thursday that the hardest-hit areas are now “on the cusp of losing control. Arizona, Houston, Austin, parts of Florida certainly look very concerning right now,” he said.

1) Everybody is so swollen their skin has blisters and is so tight it looks like it’s about to burst, from head to heel. And skin so dry peeling and flaky that to slather Vaseline on every shift is almost necessary — all over. 2) Everybody’s skin is weeping clear fluid and has sores and the skin just slides off with slightest turn or rub, all over the body. 3) Everybody’s blood is thick as slush. Can’t figure out what’s making it clot like that, but it’s dark and thick. 4) Everybody’s kidneys are failing. Urine dark or red, which could contribute to the swelling, but we don’t know yet. 5) Everybody has an abnormal heart rhythm. Not sure of the cause. But even without underlying heart problems, it’s not beating normally. 6) Seems counterproductive, but the ones that are not breathing on the ventilator have to lay flat on their stomachs to breathe better. And even some on the ventilator are on their stomachs. And the slightest turn for some is what leads to their almost immediate death. Bathing, cleaning and turning to prevent skin breakdown causes most to code blue, so a decision has to be made on which is most important. 7) Everyone has a Foley catheter and a rectal tube -incontinent of bowel and bladder. Everybody on tube feeding. Everybody. Never before in my entire career have I seen a disease process attack in this way. — 20-year veteran nurse in NYC via Dr. Dee Knight

You see, the problem in AZ isn't Covid-19, the problem is you are testing too much. Stop testing and it will go away. You see, tests cause Covid-19. Well, tests and Liberals.

And of course he just talked to 3000 pretty much unmasked students packed in a Phoenix megachurch with no temp checks at the door. What a brave unselfish act of defiance.

Japan now up to 955 deaths, korea at 281, taiwan at 7, and vietnam still at zero (they did a successful lung transplant for a sick UK pilot). Thailand at 58 (where the first case outside china was reported).

It's not just for meat-packers and old folks anymore. Arizona Central: "Arizona’s COVID-19 cases have more than quadrupled since the stay-at-home order expired in mid-May, with age trends shifting so that younger people now make up the majority of cases. Restaurants have filled up, bars have been packed, protesters have crowded the streets and more people have returned to work. By and large, these are younger people interacting more and more with others. And that's reflected in the numbers — with more younger people getting infected and testing positive for COVID-19. In Maricopa County, younger populations have seen a greater growth in cases. Among those 19 or younger, cases multiplied by eight, while cases for ages 20-44 multiplied by six since the stay-at-home order expired. Cases among those ages 45-64 quadrupled and cases 65 or older doubled." And there are more people under 65 than older being hospitalized. azdhs.gov/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/infectious-disease-epidemiology/covid-19/dashboards/index.php

Thailand at 58 (where the first case outside china was reported). I guess I didn't finish that.. Those five countries are all close to (or border on) china, all with significant biz and tourism links there. A wide range of development, and the least developed there has perhaps the world record for containing the virus. A combined 1300 deaths, within a total population (and density) that exceeds the US.

jdd, I have stifled the response that occurred to me in the interests of amity on the forum.
From the Arizona Republic:
Maricopa County public health officials held a briefing Wednesday to outline the latest information on COVID-19 hospitalization rates, contact tracing efforts and how individuals can reduce community spread as numbers continue to spike in the county and statewide.
The county's cases have skyrocketed in recent weeks, totaling 34,992 as of Wednesday, per state data. When the stay-at-home order expired in mid-May, the county had fewer than 7,000 known cases. Overall, 690 individuals have died from COVID-19 in Maricopa County.
"We've seen about 36% of all of our cases just in the last week," said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director of disease control for the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. "This is very much a dramatic increase that has sustained itself."

From our Republican governor:
Calling recent spikes in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths "unacceptable," Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday pleaded with Arizonans to take every step possible to reverse those troubling trends.
If you can avoid going out, stay home, he said at an afternoon press briefing. Wear a mask and distance yourself from others if you can't. And, please: Stop gathering in large groups.
But the governor didn't take any additional steps to mandate changes in the public's behavior. Instead, he appealed to Arizonans' sense of community to change the course of the pandemic in the state.
"This is not another executive order to enforce, and it's not about closing businesses. This is about public education and personal responsibility," Ducey said.
"Do it for your family, for your friends, for your neighbors, for our front-line health care workers. … You can help reduce the risk for the most vulnerable in our society."
Arizona is facing one of the worst COVID-19 surges in the country, with more than 3,000 new cases reported on four of the past seven days. The data is likely incomplete, as Arizonans in certain parts of the state have struggled to get tested.

I've bought a Trump 2020 mask for those few places that insist.
The reaction is quite heartening.
