US state of Texas
- Also, hospitalizations in Texas hit another record high today of 6,904
- 13.2% of tests are positive. That is high and is indicative of much wider spread than is being detected in these tests, i.e. testing is too low to pick up all cases
The chain of causation (explaining this to the deniers, apparently its very difficult for them to comprehend) is:
- cases --> hospitalisations --> deaths
- as you move from left to right along that chain the numbers fall, thank goodness
Deaths per day, the big final bar is July 1
