JUST IN: 29 states reported record number of new COVID-19 cases in October.

With COVID-19 cases spiking across the U.S., hospitals are once again filling up. At least 25% of hospitals across the country have more than 80% of their ICU beds filled, according to an internal Health and Human Services memo obtained by ABC News.Two of the hardest-hit states include Idaho and Wisconsin.

Hospitals in Idaho are so constrained that the governor is moving the state back to Stage 3 of reopening plans. Death rates in Idaho doubled from 22 to 44 between Oct. 19-25, as the statewide test positivity rate rose from 16.7% to 18.7%. That rate is more than triple the national rate. Hospitalizations have climbed sharply since the beginning of October and now the state has reported a new four-month peak of 14.7 hospitalizations per 100,000 people during the week ending Oct 25.

In the southern town of Twin Falls, one out of every four hospitalized patients is infected with COVID-19 and regional hospitals have postponed non-emergency surgeries. At St. Luke Magic Valley, the COVID unit is 97% full, ICU units are running at least 125% above normal and adequate staffing is an issue, HHS said in its memo.

In Wisconsin, the state reported 5,262 new cases and a record 64 new deaths on Oct, 27, both of which were the highest for the state since the beginning of the pandemic.Officials, according to the HHS memo, anticipate the situation will get worse in the coming weeks. At least 84% of all beds in the state are occupied with 447 patients on ventilators but Wisconsin does have 2,324 ventilators available.

Why no reporting on Joe Biden's Corruption now there are confirmed emails, a live witness, and audio records by Rob Walker Biden's rep?

reesetheone1 GovMikeDeWine You’re a failure and your failure is killing people. DO SOMETHING.😡

What is the recovery rate

blame trump for incompetence with virus

142,075,965--us total tests. recovery rate: 97.5%. 99.8% of [infected] People Get Through This with Little to No Progressive or Significant Disease. NEW CASES-DATA IS THE WRONG TRACKING MEASURE. HOSPITALIZATIONS N DEATHS, CORRECT TRACKING MEASURES, R DOWN.

A week after the election this will all be a distant memory.

Donald Trump can not stop the Corona Virus.

Get back to living your fvcking life people, please.....

More fear mongering; it won’t work! RedWave2020 CorruptJoeBiden TonyBobulinski

Good Afternoon, Please Re tweet because this is the TRUTH. And We are all in this together.

The man should not be afraid of death, he must be afraid not to start a life. Marcus Aurelius God allows us, so that we may remember that we are only dust.

Coronavirus alert. Lol.

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. This man is dumb as dirt. A denier of science & medicine. He has intentionally exposed his state since the beginning of this.

Really Don’t Care Do U? FLOTUS GovKemp DumpTrump

There is NO VIRUS in the US of A!! So said the Idiot in Chief and his sons!!💩

He is the same guy who didn’t know that people could have Covid even if they were asymptomatic!

As today’s SUPER SPREADER EVENT BEGINS to find victims, Don elected to take Regeneron as a treatment for COVID19 KNOWING that this drug was developed by the use of an ABORTED BABY! TODAY 234,218 Moms, Dads & Kids have DIED from his CONTINUING DECISION NOT TO SLOW THE DEATHS!

Karma

ew. i don't care if you having threesomes; can you just keep it out of public discussions?

I can’t even send them thoughts and prayers. I despise him so much and the GA deaths from Covid are on him. He’ll answer for them one day 😡

Enjoy the g Hoax gov.

🤦🏽‍♀️

Damn, this isn't good 👎 Lets all pray 🙏

Let me guess. This person that they exposed themselves to came from the White House, right?

Deserved!

I hope they get very sick and live to learn a lesson. This virus is dangerous and as a public official he should be helping and supporting the citizens in Georgia.

Did anybody tell tump? Just look for KFC chicken bones on the floor.

DON’S BODY COUNT OF TODAY 234,218 of children, Moms & Dads as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS” DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA, HE SHOULD JUST BE HONEST!

Thanks Trump

cases deaths

And Trump talking about Lil Wayne instead of all the Americans dying. Better watch out you will lose your racist followers

but, but, but if this is the case then why is Donald Jr. lying to us and why is Donald Trump and his administration doing more to educate the American public?

Huuummm one case of the flu idiots

Lol such fake news every hospital has one to two beds in ICU they don't tell you that

Hum?When Biden was leading the cases were way Down, NOW, he is loosing, Just like that Cases are up, I think they are using swabs with the virus on them, I would NOT get Tested In this Political active Environment for any reason, I also would never go to Hospital

Donald Trump Jr. says Covid deaths are 'almost nothing' on a day reporting 90,000 infected, 1,000 dead The president's son dismissed medical experts as 'truly morons' in an interview on Fox News.

Don’t worry Trump Jr. says it’s down to nothing!

I’m assuming this is the great red wave realDonaldTrump was talking about. With cases and Hospitals full, death will follow. Murder, Genocide of Americans by the fake POTUS and GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP Crimes Against Humanity

Fear mongering like joe Biden and the dark winter

Why is FL listed first

For all of you supporting Biden: brace yourselves for lock down until 2022. Mask mandates that will result in fines. More small businesses shutting down. And absolutely no stimulus relief. All for a disease that has a recovery rate of 99.94% avg across all age groups.

is anyone else scared BidenHarris2020

ICU stat: how many of those beds are filled with Covid patients? (Hint - less than 10%)

Meanwhile, down at Planned Parenthood.

Democrats have blown their vote wad. Now the silenced shall speak.

LOL none of that’s true

Case numbers are worthless. Hospitalizations and deaths are the only stats that mean anything.

Vote Biden/Harris

Nothing more than the common cold

Funny, ZERO reports of a “flu” outbreak!!!!

Must not discuss Hunter's Laptop....Cases-cases-cases. By the way...how many of those 'cases' are in the hospital?

It’s not number of new cases as much as hospitalizations and patients in ICU. The number of deaths has not increased since May.

Good

Don't care. COVID isn't really a danger to me.

BREAKING: DOJ officials confirm Hunter Biden and his business associates are currently under ACTIVE criminal investigation by the FBI The investigation has been ongoing since 2019 and may include his father, Joe Biden. Where is the media? RT so they can't ignore!

The President and his Administration chose “NOT TO SLOW” the spread of coronavirus here in America “WASTING 8 MONTHS NOW” while other National Leaders have slow the spread and are safely reopen their countries. AS OF TODAY we are at 234,218 US DEATHS averaging OVER 800 per day!

Who in the world could have predicted this? Everyone.

Still voting for Trump.

🙄 And Europe has the same problems! (Except Sweden.) Isn’t that crazy! 😉 Belgium (EU’s capital) has been the worst in the West from the beginning.

Because of schools re opening in September and October. That s. Common sense.

Zero leadership in stopping the virus. Whatever happened to 'I only can fix it'.

Test more people you get more cases. What is the actual percentage of hospitalizations and deaths. That is the only metric you should be using.

Cases not deaths! Protests and riots spread just as fast!

WhereIsHunterBiden Teen Republican Club activist having the best time of her life in 2016 Meeting the Trumps and all the big names Watch her tales about Clinton News Network. LOL See her Story here. WATCH TODAY

What? Trump has continually told us it’s going away and not to worry.

At what PCRs threshold are they measured at ... cases include many false positives, are meaningless & are not necessary people that are sick ... investigate the PCR threshold . If above +~40 all will be positive, below 20 all negative... FDA move threshold to 47? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️Casedemic

Cases, not deaths. Next!

Cases are not the metric that matter. Every college in town in randomly testing students & faculty daily. Folks who aren't even sick and never will be. Stop the fear-mongering.

Yes because colleges and universities are requiring students to test weekly if they live on campus. My boys are tested every Monday. Deaths and hospitalizations are more important tracking numbers but no one reports those. How about length of sickness prior to death?

At this point I dont care what fake news has to report about covid, there just spreading nothing but fear on behalf of the demorat party, well guess what it aint gonna work, screw Biden, screw Harris and the rest of them. Trump2020 JoeBidenUkraineScandal

The only good thing about CV19 is that it is dragging Trump and the GOP down. The 'pretend there isn't a crisis' meme has got to be the most braindead re-election strategy EVER.

How are those European numbers now.....crickets from everyone on the left. .....

Omg we are all going to die!!!!!

Hey, maybe start reporting recoveries?

In one week, if Biden wins, watch the amazing 180 degree turn in news coverage of Covid-19.

Stick ur covid where the sun dont shine!

how many have recovered so far give credit to where things have been done right TRUMP2020

nice

So, if this is Rounding the Curve? I'm terrified of what's after it?

How many people caught colds this month?

They also recorded record lows on the flu 🤔

LMFAO so. Cases don't mean deaths, your scamdemic has ran its course

Yeah it won't matter till after the election and not even then if trump 'wins' gop will just ignore the virus because it makes trump look like the biggest idiot on the planet.

Seems like a ploy to influence the elections.

Is that turning the corner ? Oh and you might want to check the stick market. That’s something else

Thats awdul so sad
