The Covid spread is getting worse:

https://covidactnow.org/?s=1124253

At the moment, zero states are containing it and only 7 states are merely "slow growth"

11 states are "active/imminent outbreak" and all the rest plus Puerto Rico are "at risk of outbreak"

This is a good site for a quick summary, and the picture has been getting worse nearly every day lately.

The rolling 7-day average had been down around 41,000 since September 7. It hasn't diped below 42,000 since September 29, and it's at 47,615 as of last night.

Because during the Spring the virus was in isolated pockets. Most of the country was actually disease free.

Now there's exponentially more of it and due to stupidity it's permeated even the most remote interior areas of the US.

Still, in spite of what President Scotts Superspreader and his lackey Dr Shotgun Cocktail say, there is no reliable treatment available to the vast majority of the population.

Also, THERE.IS.NO.VACCINE! & Vaccines aren't that effective when you already have the disease. (For the benefit of Don Jr.)
