Birx says they have concerns about states that have both rising numbers of cases and rising test-positivity rates. She says the two top states for test-positives are Texas and Arizona, followed by FL, MS, SC, AL, GA, LA, NV, UT. 
 
It looks like the hoax has come to red states

 Did Trump say that the ONLY reason there are more cases is because there is more testing?  Maybe I just missed the ONLY part.  If he said ONLY that would be a misstatement.  But maybe he meant, if he did say ONLY, that it is because more testing will always reveal more cases which wouldn't be discovered with less testing--which applies no matter what the actual rise or reason for it is. 
 
Did Trump say that Coronavirus does not exist, that it is a hoax?  I missed the part where he said it didn't exist.  Maybe he missed it too since he has been doing so much to fight it.

 Amid surging infections, VP Pence said "there may be a tendency" to think the U.S. is where it was two months ago, "that we're in a time of great losses & great hardship." "The reality is we're in a much better place," he said. 
 
The U.S. set a record for daily new cases yesterday, what will the number be on July 25th?
 
Feb 25:             0 deaths 
Mar 25:         938 deaths 
Apr 25:     53,755 deaths 
May 25:    98,220 deaths 
Jun 25:   124,355 deaths 
Jul 25:    XXX,XXX deaths

 Remember in March when you and the kept boy were blatting because I said it will get worse and Tweety’s not leading? 
He’s still absent  
We still have rampant Corona virus  
He’s trying to make protesters the issue while stuck in the WH because the Secret Service can’t cover him in NJ to play golf because of COVID-19  
He’s not the sharpest tool in the bunker
