Anyway, the Mexican virus comes from the US. Actually, Mexico should sue the US for initially downplaying the epidemic situation and diffusing fake information.

Here's what you wrote:

"So what? Did Mexico's President downplay the epidemic and diffuse fake information about it?"

 

So your intention was actually to mitigate the awfulness of Trump's ineptitude?

Above is what Rabas was replying to.

The good news is that even the states reporting an increase in hospitalizations, such as Arizona, are not facing a crisis of care yet. There are still plenty of beds and ventilators available, and most of the ICU beds are being used by non Covid related cases. For the moment there does not appear to be a large base exponential growth curve on hospital admissions.

 

So it would seem that as long as proper protocols are taken to keep the virus out of the rest homes and elder care facilities, there does not currently appear to be an excessively high probability of a crisis in care given present trends. And on the plus side we may finally be able to get some good data on exactly how the virus spreads in the absence of lockdowns. Ultimately, we may find that states like Arizona are some of the first to genuinely recover from the virus, reaching herd immunity significantly before the rest of the world that tried to implement a containment strategy.

 

Wait and see of course, but overall things look positive.  Good to see even medical doctors admitting that a new lockdown condition is not warranted at the moment, given how damaging that could be to the psyche of the public. It shows that people are finally trying to take a more wholistic approach to all facets of this virus, rather than just viewing it under the narrow focus of an epidemic.

Really?

Ominous sign? Of the 14 states with rising new coronavirus cases, Arizona has experts especially worried

"In Arizona, average COVID-19 hospitalizations have risen 49% from May 26 to June 9, the second-biggest rise of any state during that time period.

In Arizona, "new cases were slowly declining throughout most of May, until the 26th," said Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association, an organization for health professionals and former director of the Arizona Department of Health Services.

"Then there was a bounce-back, where it really starts to ramp up."

Looks pretty exponential to me.
