    New coronavirus cases in the U.S. soar to highest single-day total

    Across the United States, more than 36,000 new infections were reported by state health departments on Wednesday — surpassing the previous single-day record of 34,203 set on April 25. Texas, Florida and California led the way, with all three states reporting more than 5,000 new cases apiece.

    Three states — California, Florida and Oklahoma — reported record highs in new single-day coronavirus cases, while hospitalizations hit a new peak in Arizona, where intensive care units have quickly filled.

    • stop looking at cases. Just look at mortality stats alreadysrhadden
    • I mean, if you can find them. The Netherlands for example have a regularly updated weekly mortality count from their national statistics body http://www.cbs.nlsrhadden
    • Official mortality across the board tells you everything you need to know. Stop checking case count or whatever, compare current mortality with previous yearssrhadden

    • The Netherlands' official case & death count are way off, but their total mortality count is published. It shows a clear COVID impact, but also a clear declinesrhadden
    • Total mortality counts compared to previous years per country is what we all should be looking at I thinksrhadden
    • srhadden great point about looking at mortality statsMondoMorphic
    • The thing is cases are a leading indicator. Right now deaths from the virus HAVE gone down which is great.yuekit
    • But seeing cases surge like this along with hospitalizations is telling you deaths will almost certainly rise in a couple weeks.yuekit
    • A week ago you could have credibly said high level of cases is because of increased testing, but it's now looking like a bad situation in some of these states.yuekit
    • Will it turn into an out of control New York or Brazil type scenario? No one knows, but looking at historical mortality alone isn't going to tell you muchyuekit
    • until it's already too late.yuekit
    • srhadden you cant even look at mortality stats when it has been incentivized to come to the conclusion of covid19
      ********
    • especially considering hospitals suffering right now. They need what ever tidbits they can get
