New cases appear to be plateauing at a high level but the positivity ratio remains high. It's 17% in Miami-Dade and there isn't a single county below 5%.
I see the next month as a race to get case counts significantly lower in order to safely reopen schools.
With Florida beginning to level off, the more troubling rises in cases are in Idaho (+4.7%), Montana (+6.1%), Nevada (+4.3%) and Texas (+3.9%). There were 18 states that reported more than 1000 new cases in the past 24 hours.
Elsewhere, New York cases rose by 754 today and UK cases were up 827. Russia reported its smallest daily increase in cases since March and Australia cancelled its planned sitting of parliament.
Update: Arizona reported 2,742 new cases, which is a rise of 2% and lower than the 7-day average of 2.5%. However deaths were a one-day record at 147.
