Tell me about it!
It’s horrible. I really appreciate the rest of the world taking notice. We all care about each other!
OREGON REPORT (just one state out of 50 that’s not as bad as many):
As I said yesterday when reporting on Oregon, I’m terrified, and today Oregon just smashed a record with over 1000 cases in a day for the first time. My county (Jackson—the lone dark purple county in the southwest next to the two bright pink counties near the coast) is helping to lead the charge with it’s all time high of 123 cases and 2 more deaths today (total of 10).
The driving force for this exponential growth both in my county and the state is smallish group gatherings...although one Halloween party had 100 guests!
Jackson County Public Health Reports 123 New COVID-19 Cases - NOV 12
From the link below:
Oregon smashed another coronavirus record with 1,122 cases reported Thursday, marking the first time the state topped 1,000 in a single day and underscoring the runaway spread that is starting to stretch hospitals.
The new record pushed Oregon’s daily case average to 863 over the past week, double the volume from late October. Active hospitalizations also reached a new high, 303, the first time Oregon surpassed 300.
Thursday’s massive case count was driven by new highs in Multnomah, Washington and
Jackson counties. The state also reported four more fatalities, including a 35-year-old.
The record-setting day prompted Gov. Kate Brown late Thursday to call a Friday news conference where she will announce “new measures to address Oregon’s alarming spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations,” according to her office.
