The U.S. coronavirus crisis worsened on Tuesday as more states reported record rises in new cases, with Florida fast running out of available hospital intensive care unit (ICU) beds.

“I got tested because my younger brother got positive,” said Fred Robles, 32, who spent the night in his car. “There’s so many people that need to get tested, there’s nothing you can do about it.” In Florida, more than four dozen hospitals across 25 of 67 counties reported their ICUs had reached full capacity, data published by the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration showed. Only 17% of the total 6,010 adult ICU beds statewide were available on Tuesday, down from 20% three days ago.

Florida’s coronavirus cases have soared in the last month, with the state’s daily count topping 10,000 three times in the last week. COVID-19 fatalities were up nearly 19% in the last week compared with the week prior, bringing the state’s death toll to more than 3,800. “We can’t stop what we’re doing. He’s got to run a nation,” White House adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters at the White House.

In Arizona, another hotspot, the rate of coronavirus tests coming back positive rose to 26% for the week ended July 5. The World Heath Organization considers a rate over 5% to be troubling.

Fake news!!! Just get on the CDC web site!! There are more asymptomatic cases but death rates are continually plummeting!! Do you’re research!!!

Cases alone are a meaningless metric. What are their ages? Age is a primary factor. Younger than 50, will almost all survive, with most not even knowing they have the bug. What other health issues do these people have, if any? With no comorbities, survival is almost certain.

“Increased deaths tend to lag a rise in new case by a month or more”...really? So why have we seen a decline in deaths across the US for 10-straight weeks 🤔

Yeah looking really deadly...: not

But mah freedumbs!!!
