    Trump campaign declines to say if it will enforce CDC coronavirus guidelines at Tulsa rally

    One week out from Trump's first campaign even since the coronavirus outbreak first began in the U.S., the president's re-election campaign would not say what safety precautions it planned to take for its Tulsa rally expected to draw thousands.

    two weeks has dramatically changed Oregon's Covid picture from decent to bad. We've gone from about 33 new cases a day (May 27) to 116 a day now. That's 3.5 times as many. And a forecast of a couple of models suggest that rate could be somewhere between 270 and 1000 new cases a day

    we were too impatient. Probably reopened 2-4 weeks too early, and definitely should have stayed closed past Memorial Day.

    It's an oldie but a goodie, BLAME THE DIRTY BROWN PEOPLE!

    White House eyes travel from Mexico as source of virus spike

    The White House is floating a theory that travel from Mexico may be contributing to a new wave of coronavirus infections, rather than states’ efforts to reopen their economies.



    The notion was discussed at some length during a meeting of the administration’s coronavirus task force in the White House Situation Room Thursday that focused, in part, on identifying commonalities between new outbreaks, according to two administration officials familiar with the discussions.



    COVID-19 cases are currently rising in nearly half of states across the country, according to an Associated Press analysis. That includes Arizona, where hospitals have been told to prepare for the worst, and Texas, which now has more hospitalized patients than ever.




    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was deploying teams to Arizona and other hotspots to try to trace the outbreaks and contain them, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly describe internal conversations. CDC officials and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.



    In addition to Arizona, other states experiencing recent spikes of infections include California, Texas and North Carolina — particularly within the Hispanic community. As a result, the task force is looking at whether those spikes may be tied to legal travel between the U.S. and Mexico, which is experiencing an ongoing severe coronavirus outbreak.



    Mexico has had more than 133,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and nearly 16,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University — dramatically fewer than the U.S., which has surpassed 2 million cases and more than 113,000 deaths.

    The problem isn't when you open it's how you open. The problem is the people that don't go by the guidelines. It's over 100 degrees in Arizona almost daily and a little under 100 in Texas. Warmer weather doesn't kill the virus and it's not going anywhere. So why does it matter when you open?

    the same logic could be used to say we should have never implemented stay-at-home orders and social-distancing to begin with

    to start relaxing restrictions just before a big holiday was stupid. And it was predictably stupid because many public health experts predicted the result we're seeing right now.

    The biggest portion of new cases here are among food processing workers. Add to that the wholly unpredictable results of infections that we may see arise from two weeks of protests, and it’s pretty hard to reach a conclusion that the increase is due simply to opening up too soon.

    Well, that’s certainly a statement.
