Spikes in Covid 19
Yesterday’s data showed a near doubling in US Covid 19 deaths to 4591. The US is now about 1/3rd of all confirmed cases worldwide.
Confirmed cases and deaths spiked here in Los Angeles County over the last few days, which now accounts for over half of California deaths. 90% of LA County deaths are for people with one or more pre-existing medical conditions.
California with 40 million residents represents about 3.5% of all Covid 19 confirmed cases in the nation and about 2.4% of the nation’s deaths.
Everybody in the supermarket this morning during senior’s hour was wearing their masks and practicing careful social distancing. I hope you are too.
