      1. The geography of Covid-19 in America has changed. There has been a steep, welcome decline in the former hotspot (New York & adjacent states, Midwest). Unfortunately, there's spike in many states in South & West.

      2. The New York Times charts are clarifying. For some states, this is a "second wave" but for many others it's all one big wave. In those states, this is just the beginning.pic.twitter.com/yjNsuQAl25

      3. The Trump administration has made clear its response to spikes is going to be to down play it (using metaphors like "embers," "small bumps" and "flare-ups") while pushing full steam ahead with reopening.https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1272552388134604800 …

      The recent spikes in coronavirus infections in parts of U.S. are “relatively small bumps” in the nation’s efforts to move beyond the virus outbreak, Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow says. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-15/kudlow-calls-virus-spikes-in-u-s-small-bumps-in-recovery?sref=yYYRek8e … pic.twitter.com/tWDyDgUT1z

      4. I hate to be a Gloomy Gus but I think America is going to have problems for a long time. Even if Trump magically became competent & honest tomorrow, social trust has eroded. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-lying-surge-coronavirus/ …

          Bingo, that's the exact problem. Because facts don't matter, and we have a government that lies to us openly, rumor and hearsay take over. Racism is also in the mix, because that is the ultimate subjective judgement.

          The US will have to live w/this coronavirus & all its knock-on effects a lot longer than other developed nations primarily because of the GOP’s criminal mismanagement of this crisis. As a result, we all remain vulnerable for as long as there is no effective vaccine or treatment.

          It is disingenuous to use yesterday’s 4k COVID19 cases in Texas as a symbol. It was a reporting anomaly, as when NY adjusted deaths. In TX, it was inmate cases that had not been reported (per dashboard). https://kathyegill.substack.com/ pic.twitter.com/L8mzTgFgek

          As long as #COVID19 is falling primarily on Black Americans the RW GOP will take its sweet time doing anything to slow it down or stop it. What many regard as stupidity is more likely evil, aka genocide. That's why they're stuck on not wearing face cover: it's to protect others.

          I'm so sick of hearing about a second wave as if the first wave is over. We are not ready medically, financially, logistically, emotionally, or mentally for the hell that is coming. There's going to be 300,000 dead before the year is over. #COVID19

          Ttump has always been the symptom of the disease. Even when he's gone, the disease will still be with us. We can't forget that, but we shouldn't despair either. Prior to Trump it was easier to deny that we were sick. We can't do that any more.

          Passive voice. Maybe there was an actor that eroded it? Maybe that actor is also Trump?
