I know not everyone is a Blackburn fan but she’s right in this assessment.

The constant bombardment of commercials is fairly annoying.
I don't know much about her, but anybody using the term "gaslighting" better have watched the Hitchcock movie.

This has nothing really to do with testing. The media is in full freak out mode because hospital beds have become or will shortly become an issue in these large states. 75% of ICU beds in FL are taken by COVID patients. Up to 95% of ICU beds taken in areas of TX.

As hospitals fill with coronavirus patients, Florida wants to know who is in the ICU beds

Some Texas cities revive plans to add hospital bed capacity at convention centers if coronavirus cases climb

Are you sure those beds are all taken up with COVID?

For example Texas Medical Cemter in Houston is at 100% capacity. About 25% of those are COVID.

I saw 39 today. Where is the 26 figure coming from?

I'd like to hear @NurseGoodVol chime in, too. McRib's hospital is doing testing in the ED prior to any admissions for previously scheduled services. If test is positive, they admit as a patient, taking precautions, and monitor closely. Not sure how the hospital handles the procedure the patient was admitted for...they may wait until no symptoms appear or asymptomatic after fighting infection. What she isn't clear on is if these patients are classified as Covid admissions. She suspects they are but she isn't certain.

They have done that where I am at.... testing patients admitted for something else and counting it as a covid hospitalization.... the thing I keep wondering about and wondering why it doesn’t get talked about..... we had someone test positive first of April.... come back to our facility three months later after finally having two negative tests..... Never being around anyone that has tested positive bc we test weekly and don’t allow anyone in the building.... this person tested positive again two weeks later and has had zero symptoms the entire time..... this has been a more than 4 month process.

TX FLA AZ never enforced masks.
Total morons.

This is not hard, social distance indoors!
Wear a mask.
Wash your hands
Keep your distance
Take it from someone who lives 2 miles from two major hospitals in the epicenter--- ambulances 24/7 in April---

Targeting closings are coming for these states and this time it's the younger people along with no mandates that will cause the set backs.
Don't be an a******

Interestingly, there is definitely more "mask"-wearing going on in Knoxville than ever, and cases are going up. You might wonder if people wiping their spit and snot all over everything might be a bad idea.

Wait, what are you saying is causing spit and snot distribution increases?

There is a bottom line reality to some of this. You have people needing routine medicine avoiding hospitals like the plague. Cash is drying up and staff are being furloughed. The feds are passing out billions to hospitals that are treating COVID patients. It behooves a hospital to find and label any patient possible a COVID patient because that means more money pure and simple.

Just because your state has issues with poor leadership doesn’t mean every other state does

The constant and universal handling of cloth face coverings. It's the equivalent of asking everyone to pick their nose and bite their nails while they shop. If you disagree, go to the store or out to dinner. It's actually disgusting.

Where do you live exactly? ---I just had dinner outdoors ....with staff wearing masks ....I returned from Susquehanna PA. on Wednesday

From a guy I've been following since early March ---His information and predictions have been eerily accurate:

Back to analyzing the virus in several states. The first graphic below really shows well the relative trajectories of the outbreak in 5 of the states doing the worst right now, FL, TX, CA, GA, and AZ, which are all spiking at record numbers of cases (shown graphically as a 7-day moving average vs. that state's previous single day high) and all have key areas that are showing exponential growth, meaning we're likely to see these peaks continue to accelerate even if interventions are done today - but they're not generally speaking, although significant numbers of people in these states are wearing masks and staying at home, so my hope is their peaks won't be as exponential as they were in the NE US and especially in NY/NJ. I put NY/NJ on the graph also, just to show what our trajectory was and the growth rates in these 5 states show a lot of similarity, although the rate of rise is not quite as high. Yet.

We're also now seeing hospitalizations rising rapidly in those 5 states, which happens about a week or so after cases start jumping. And deaths are likely to start growing very soon in these states, if they follow the same trajectory as NY/NJ (NY is shown below and it's almost identical to NJ). As per the 2nd graphic, In NY, cases started really climbing around 3/12, when testing started really being widely available; however cases were actually peaking earlier but that wasn't being measured, but one can see the shape of the curve would've shown the peak starting at least by about 3/8 if there had been testing, peaking about 3 weeks later around early April. However, deaths didn't really start to rise rapidly until about 3/24 about 2-3 weeks after cases started rising rapidly.

If we then look at the shape of the case curves in the 5 states on the first graph, we see cases starting to rise more rapidly in the 6/13-6/17 timeframe, which would mean that we might start to see deaths rise 2-3 weeks after that, i.e., somewhere around 6/27 to 7/1 (if 2 weeks after) or even 7/4 to 7/8 if 3 weeks after. The early NY data is so sparse it makes an exact analysis difficult to do. For me, I'd be very surprised if we don't see death rates in these 5 states starting to rise at least moderately to even rapidly by the end of June to the first week in July, i.e., it's not a surprise to me that we've only seen, at most, minor rises in deaths in these states so far.

And, as I've said previously, I'd expect the death rate rises to be muted a bit vs. NY/NJ, since we are doing better with medical procedures and now have some at least moderately effective treatments (dexamethasone, tocilizumab, remdesivir and convalescent plasma). We'll see how it plays out, but if anyone is curious, I predicted we would follow Italy's trajectory on cases/deaths as cases were rising and ~2 weeks before deaths did.

Edit: I added a 3rd graphic which just came out on worldometers, showing that the US smashed its record number of cases from just yesterday (40K), reaching 47,000 cases on Friday, way higher than the 39,000 cases we saw during the initial peak in April. This is not good folks, despite what people may have heard from Pence today.

This response did not address my post----as to be expected

What are the Daily New Death numbers?

You have access to google machine i presume...
