I saw a few headlines today that total US cases reached recently the highest level since early May.
What I did not see in those reports is that the 7-day average of daily testing in the US has skyrocketed since May and is now more than DOUBLE (493,893) than early May (233,672).

🚨 In early May, one out of every 8 tests generated a Covid case. Last week, it took 22 tests to get one case. Basically, at this point Covid is so rare relative to early May that you need to test almost 3 X the amount of people to find a case. Dunno the future. But this is now.
I don’t know what the future holds for FL the next few weeks. However, the 7-day average of Covid deaths in FL from April 10th through May 26 (5.5 weeks), was higher than what it was the last few days. If it jumps 50% from the current level, it will still be lower than May 8th.
NY has only 5.9% of the US population but 25% of US Coronavirus deaths, yet Cuomo’s secretary tweets as if NY’s handling of the crisis was great. Besides, per Apple’s Mobility data, FL/AZ opened in a smilier trend/trejectery as NY over the last 8 weeks (when looking at driving).
As Cuomo & Co are increasingly arrogant about NY veruss other states, please note that the 7-day average of deaths in NY yesterday was still worse than Florida and TX. Oh and look at small state NJ where @GovMurphy also keeps pounding “other states” as if he did a great job.
I am aware that NY/NJ are on the way down while some states in the S/SW may be on the way up (regarding Covid deaths), but NY/NJ were a hot mess so its leaders should be humble. Secondly, NY/NJ are still worse than FL/TX. Besides, due to lockdown policies by @NYGovCuomo and
.@GovMurphy, many NY/NJ residents vacationed in CA, AZ, TX and FL in recent weeks which means they may have brought Covid to these states. So not only don’t the above governors not having standing due to their own mess, but they may have caused a possible spike in other states!
