In recent months, wearing a mask has wrongfully become a question of politics. Dr. @celinegounder, member of the Biden Transition COVID Advisory Board, says, “It’s like politicizing toilet paper. A mask is a basic hygienic measure. This is not a political statement.” #velshi pic.twitter.com/V8ekvpfZVq

Hospitalizations are increasing steadily. Already many hospitals stretched; likely we’ll see another 30,000+ increase in coming weeks. Scarcest resource: trained healthcare staff. PPE remains insufficient. Nursing home cases are increasing. And all of this will get worse. 4/10 pic.twitter.com/FnFsJImnf2

This is insane. The population of North Dakota is 762k, and it has had 70,016 total *diagnoses* (infections are likely much higher). That's nearly 10% of the population diagnosed with COVID. 10 days ago that # was 56k, 20 days ago was 43k, 30 days was 34k. It's getting worse.
