Coronavirus: 6/12

I also fell asleep early last night.

As I noted yesterday afternoon, we hit a grim milestone: COVID-19 deaths have exceeded World War I and the 1957 pandemic. It is also clear that new cases are headed back up again particularly in the South and Southwest. Texas, North Carolina and Florida reported around 2,000 cases each.
