Sharp spikes in coronavirus cases are prompting governors and mayors in Oregon, Utah and Tennessee to pause reopening plans, while officials in Houston and elsewhere are warning of the potential need for new restrictions

CDC Director Robert Redfield on Friday said it’s possible some states or communities would need to shut down again if the virus keeps spreading but said those decisions will be made by local leaders. HHS Secretary Alex Azar on Friday also said any future shutdowns would be more localized.

“It feels like we’re going back to where we were several months ago,” said Umair Shah, a top public health official in Harris County, an area that includes Houston. States opting against stricter measures are instead urging residents to take personal responsibility for their safety.in Covid-19 cases, and hospitalizations have also reached a new high.

Prudent decision...

Regulate retail store entry; wear mask; distance; shield at checkout; wash hands; in high risk group? STAY HOME! But, you have to OPEN UP !

I thought that protesting was important

Smart decisions made by governors and mayors in Oregon, Utah and Tennessee for the safety of their citizens. Wish some of the other governors would do the same. Too many states are spiking yet no change in policy. Their decisions will affect the rest of the country.

Correction- Utah still set to open. I live here and we’ve received no notices saying to stay home to stop the spread. As the elite stay quarantined, they just told us to wear masks and wash our hands a lot. Governor Herbert does everything Trump wants COVID19 GOPGenocide lies

U r so cute. I'll pass on the bs this time. Sooo...how many flu cases this year? Ohh...right...they are all COVID19. STFUFauci OpenForBusiness CDCgov CDCDirector realDonaldTrump QAnon Summertime

116,831 deaths to date.

Second wave is definitely happening.

Knew this would happen

Not sure where you are getting your info but your wrong I live in Utah in Salt Lake City and we are not having any kind of spike of corona in-fact some of this state is going green in the next few day so probably should try to lie about somewhere else

And yet Portland has continued to allow protestors to roam with no attempt to stop them. The continuing protests have PROVEN the Lockdown was and is nothing but overreach by Democrats to control people, it has 0 do with health..

Arizona?

We had our chance when all this began. Trump decided to delay the inevitable and it was too late. People can only put up with a lockdown for so long. We won't see relief from all this until there's a vaccine and reliable testing. My estimate: 300k dead by the the end of the year.

Meanwhile GovRonDeSantis continues tap dancing for his master.

ClayTravis Tennessee?

⚠️ No person outside of the United States (US). should travel to the US. The US doesn’t give af about COVID-19, therefore do not put the health of your Country at risk because of their carelessness. Travel to the US should be banned!

By August we might see 3000+ deaths per day happening, and possibly 500,000 to One Million Americans dead. If there still is no vaccine, there is no end to the death count. Hopefully we get a new POTUS who can lead a country, rather than pretend he can!

Be still my heart with red states increases

Why’s the health statements come from economic advisers in the White House? It’s like they are in the greatest health crisis in modern history and the money guys give out advice on the health problem

GovStitt please

President Donald Trump and administration officials have meanwhile urged states to keep moving forward. Wonder if states have everyone sign wavers like realDonaldTrump lol

Strange how daily lives are being restricted by officials cheering on the protests

Explainer: Summer might slow coronavirus but is unlikely to stop itThe arrival of warmer weather in the Northern Hemisphere raises the question of whether summer could slow the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Here is what science says. only a vaccine can stop the covid-19 It's a highly infectious virus. It's unlikely that anything short of an effective vaccine will definitively 'stop' it. People are rioting and protesting in large numbers... enough with the COVID fear mongering.
