Heaven help us (because we will not help ourselves): These "bruised red" states are places where "uncontrolled spread" is occurring. There are currently 17 states that fit this category. That's a tsunami of #Covid19. https://t.co/wd0AW1cff8

Considering the totality of the data, this was probably the worst COVID-19 week since spring.
Testing didn't increase, but cases did. Hospitalizations kept mounting and deaths began to move upwards for the first time since the week of April 12th. https://t.co/3xv1VWXk4c
