, with data from Johns Hopkins University showing the three-day daily average increase to more than 600 fatalities.
"This was predictable," Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told the network. "We seem to have had difficulty in this country looking a few weeks in advance." While deaths are nowhere near the mid-April peak of more than 2,000 a day, the recent uptick is worrying. With the rate of positive coronavirus tests rapidly increasing in Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida especially, it could portend worse to come in the weeks ahead.
"We know the pattern," Levitt told CNBC. "As more people get infected, more people get hospitalized, and ultimately more people die." Florida has seen COVID-19 deaths jump 35% over the last week, per CNBC's analysis, while Texas has seen its death rate climb by 106%. California has also seen a major increase in fatalities, reporting 29% more this week than last.. The US Centers for Disease Control projects that number could be as high as 160,000 by the end of July.
I remember months ago when people said 'This is a Blue State thing, why should WE have to lock down?' I guess they have their answer now.
