Well, if I test 50,000 people in April and find 10,000 cases, and then I test 100,000 in May and find 20,000 cases, the cases doubled, but it's a meaningless number. I'm not beating up on you, but it really is lazy journalism. I know they are trying to come to some conclusion about the effect of opening up the economy, but that doesn't cut it.

I watch hospitalizations more than number of cases and on that front the news is good:
Coronavirus hospitalizations keep falling

You can look them up if you'd like. They all have an increase in positive test rates (the numerator and the denominator are both going up, but the numerator is going up faster) and more troubling is the increases in hospitalization rates and deaths, particularly in Arizona and Texas. It's also been about 100 degrees in both of those places since they reopened, which isn't great for the hot weather argument if that trend keeps up.
Well yea she has lived through more, she is about 25 years older than me. But seen things I haven't, in my lifetime no.
From the second you walk into their house, if a sporting event isn't on, its Fox News. On vacations with them, fox news is on. I don't tend to get into debates, but her arguments are Tucker/Hanity arguments.
I don't watch MSNBC, I hardly ever watch cable news. Most of my news comes from WSJ and NPR with a little enquirer sprinkled in. I do like Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper, but don't tune in more than once a month or so.
Will the misinformation ever stop?

It's mostly good. The falling numbers are largely from places that had big spikes (NY, NJ, MA, MI), which is what modeling told us to expect or from places like Ohio that have mostly been on a long slow plateau.
Places like Arizona and Texas didn't get those early spikes and are heading the wrong way now, so those bear watching for sure.
That's not what the Governor is saying

That's great, it isn't what the numbers are showing. They had a decline into their reopening last month and since that point the average has been going back up.
You are correct thanks, although still makes up about 1/3 of the data since it's Houston.

Here's the full Texas data, which is annoyingly in Excel format, but on the dashboard it looks like positive test rates and hospitalizations have picked up and tests have been essentially flat for a couple weeks.

This is the Arizona dashboard, which is not annoyingly in Excel format, and shows a pretty big uptick in hospitalizations.
