The Corona Virus July 6, 2020

There are currently 2,970,945 reported case in the US and 132,301 deaths.

New York has 402,369 cases and 32,206 deaths

Texas has 194,932 cases and 2,628 deaths
New Jersey has 173,402 cases and 15,296 deaths

I've continued to track the number of case increases across the country, the state and Bergen County. I've added the numbers for the previous week and updated the numbers for the week before that.

The numbers are even worse than last week again with Florida, Texas and California posted huge numbers. Florida reported over 11,000 cases yesterday. This isn't even without the impact from the July 4th weekend.

New Jersey still sort of flat. Covid Act Now has downgraded it from green to yellow because R0 is back around 1.0. The shore was open and jumping. Hopefully that doesn't cause too big of a spike.

Bergen County is pretty flat. It would be nice if the case numbers could get under 100 but I'm sure lots of folks went to the shore this weekend so I'm all that hopeful that we'll that soon.

The first week back at work for my daughter and someone left complaining of being ill. My daughter got tested but was negative. Unfortunately she spent the 4th of July weekend in the city waiting for the results. She also got an antibody retest. Those results aren't back yet.
