The number of tests coming back positive for COVID-19 is topping 25% in several states in the U.S. Midwest as cases and hospitalizations also surge in the region, according to a Reuters analysis.

North Dakota’s positive test rate has averaged 30% over the past seven days compared with 6% the prior week. The positivity rate has risen to 26% in South Dakota, up from 17% the previous week, according to the analysis using testing data from The COVID Tracking Project.

Several states such as New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine have positive test rates of less than 1%. Wisconsin set records for new cases twice last week and is now reporting more new infections each day than Florida. South Dakota set records for new cases three times last week.

What’s the survival rate?

One way to achieve herd immunity is to infect everyone, let the susceptible die, bingo.. Way to go trump.

Guess Trump’s lies didn’t protect them after all.

Oh. There is a pandemic? Sorry. I know. Just a crazy week.

So the Lockdowns didn't work. Interesting

Does that make them blue states then? Trump said if not for “blue states” the Covid rate would be the best in the world.

Most are not contagious!!!!!

Says who? With all the agenda-ism & political trash talk attack.. plus the extreme measures forced upon by government(?) or somebodies with $$$ my own province with 1 or not much more cases. A ballpark figure of 25%! Not buying anymore. Please go away liar faces.. esp. MSM 🤫

realDonaldTrump COVID scores are higher among your Red State voters than High School graduation rates

Testing makes us more aware of the size of the problem...something Trump and Republicans want us NOT to know.

Why didn't we ever hear about the 60 million Americans infected with a deadly virus when JoeBiden was VP?

and testing up way more... imagine a flu so scary you have to get tested to know you have it

Australia's Victoria state to ease COVID-19 restrictions as cases slowVictoria, Australia's second most populous state and the epicentre of the country's COVID-19 outbreak, will accelerate the easing of social distancing restrictions as infections slow to fewer than 20 cases a day, its premier said on Sunday. Australia has become a fascist country! Really sad. Murdoch governs the whole country in a way that suits his own business interests and profit from his pharma business. Shame on Australian government!!! Is sky news still in Covid suits? Dropping restrictions in the south. Crazy techies. Come back to broad band lol. The covid takes time to change its gear for new attacks on season change in aussie land. All scientists around the world are well undrestimating the covid's life cycle due to lack of coordination and outreach. The WHO is helpless, and the pharma are going their own way to make $$
