One day the greatest national security challenge could be China or climate or nuclear weapons, but now it is #COVID19. Until we get it under control, we will lack the resources & public support to sustain US leadership. Nor will we have the world’s respect

Not good USA.
What say you t- "we're turning the corner"?
This is not just too much testing- it is people landing up in hospital, in dire trouble, with the real possibility of death & long term morbidity.
The number of people hospitalized with Covid-19 has already risen 40 percent in the past month. Deaths have remained relatively flat but are often a lagging indicator.
82,000 new cases today were diagnosed. Just today’s cases will suffer enormously, but even more concerning is that they have already spread the virus to others.
