BREAKING: Like we've seen in weeks before, once again, this week has become the worst week of the #COVID19 pandemic in Tennessee on almost every front. DETAILED ANALYSIS TO FOLLOW. 1/
2,517 new #COVID19 cases reported today in Tennessee is the 2nd highest daily total of the pandemic. 2/ 
Today's positivity rate - percent of new tests that come back positive - is almost 11%. So, again, you cannot blame all the new cases on doing more testing. 3/
There were 15,330 new #COVID19 cases reported in Tennessee this week - a stunning 41% increase over last week's record high 4/
The #COVID19 positivity rate in Tennessee this week was a record 9.22% - even higher than the early weeks of the pandemic when only sick people were tested. 5/
A record 456 Tennesseans were hospitalized this week for #COVID19 - a dramatic 37% increase over last week. 6/
The number of #COVID19 deaths recorded in Tennessee this week was just one off last week's record high. Death certificates take time, and this number is expected to jump dramatically as spread continues. 8/
Almost 32,000 Tennesseans are in the active stages of #COVID19 - almost double the number at the beginning of the month. The pace is quickening. (Active = confirmed cases - recovered - deaths.) 9/
67 of Tennessee's 95 counties - 71% - now showing unacceptable rates of #COVID19 transmission. That means our elderly relatives and friends in long-term care facilities in those counties cannot have visitors. 10/10
