The hardest-hit county in Missouri is its most populous one: St. Louis. As of Sunday, the county had about a quarter of the state's COVID-19 cases, with 10,995, based on state data. During the first two weeks of July, the average number of new COVID-19 cases more than doubled, according to a July 23from the St. Louis County Health Department. Hospitalizations increased by 73% during that period, it found.
"We're in a difficult place right now, and we do need to be taking some aggressive actions as a community to turn the curve around," task force head Dr. Alex Garza said Friday at a coronavirus briefing."We have a lot of transmission in our community. It is still being driven by our younger population."Last week, the county announced that it would be pausing youth summer league competitions, such as games and scrimmages, due to rising cases among children ages 10-19.
Garza stressed"decisive actions," such as mask-wearing, social distancing and not congregating in large groups, to help reduce the curve and keep hospital admissions down in the region.
Our Governor GovParsonMO be like....
'Daily hospitalization data on the state's COVID-19 dashboard has not been updated since July 12...after the White House switched data collection from the CDC...As a result, the Missouri Hospital Association said it has been left 'in the dark' and unable to access state data.'
Stay away from those contaminated swabs. there's no reason to be tested if you're not sick!!!!!
Isn’t it the Missouri governor kids will get covid and get over it at home just fine. I don’t think he mentioned the kids spreading the infections at home.
RT In this case intelligent people will realize that the action needed is to VOTE TRUMP OUT!
Survival rate is still at 99.99%. This is not a pandemic it is a flu. Everyone needs to get back to work and children need to go back to school
How many have symptoms and how many don’t? How many have symptoms and self isolating? How many are in the hospital and how many are on ventilators? And how many have died? How many citizens in the state? What’s the 0/0 of all of this? Your using scare tactics!!!
change has come
Coronaviruses are common, and cause colds in people whose immune systems are run down! pathology, MedTwitter, PathTwitter, EpiTwitter, IDTwitter, LockDown, ContactTracing, HouseArrest, PathologistsForCOVID19Truth
They wanted to protest right🤔🤷🏾♂️
So if you’ve had the flu or a cold or any other virus you will test positive for COVID-19, no wonder the cases are rising
of deaths? Hospitalizations? ICU? Balanced reporting please! Stop spreading fear and inform your readers!
I guess the Show Me State had to learn the hard way.
Missouri is a Red State.... Parsons is an idiot like most republican governors who prefer death over a weak economy. While the economy stays weak because of the virus.... Republican stupidity runs wild. November couldn't get here any faster.
Wear masks 😷 take all precautions best to all
nicolergalloway GovParsonMO thoughts? Would love to get back to work in St Charles county.
It's called testing
This is a lie. The virus is declining
