• In hospital: 126,166 (+6,618)
  • In ICU: 21,707 (+497)
  • New deaths: 1,797

This is just the start, IMO. Those ICU numbers are probably the consequence of ~300k cases per day from 10 days ago. Biden is really going for it.

    I don't see how people are even getting tested. I was looking yesterday and the soonest appt for a test by me was 5 days out.

    We're well on our way to flattening the curve in the dumbest way possible, as is tradition.

      Over a week here for a PCR test for our daughter, she’s under 2 so a lot of places won’t take her for some reason.

      I’m having a friend in the U.K. send me rapid tests as I can’t find those locally either :doomjak:

        If they're lateral flow don't trust them too much. I had a friend here in the UK test negative with 5 of them and then test positive when they finally got a PCR.

          New conspiracy theory: the rapid tests give a high rate of false negatives so people go back to work

      Have to fucking full out all your info for each vendor/store before you can even see appointment availability. Too bad there’s no way the federal government could make it easier to see that you can’t get tested for a week lmao
