Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 06-18-2020 COVID-19 AM Alert
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for Thursday June 18th, 2020. New modeling from PolicyLab, at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, shows Florida has the potential to become the next epicenter for COVID-19 in the U.S. According to The Washington Post, Researchers say the risk of widespread community transmission is “the worst it has ever been”. The Director of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama, said the spike in Florida is concerning due to the state’s aging population and number of nursing homes and retirement communities. There are 82,711 confirmed cases and have been 3,017 deaths. Three of the highest daily case counts have been reported in the last 5 days. Transparency in data released by the state health department has been questioned. In late April, the State Medical Examiner’s report noted a higher death rate than what the health department was releasing. The health department, stopped the release of the Medical Examiners report. In May, the doctor who created and updated Florida’s official coronavirus dashboard, was fired for what she says was refusal to manipulate the data.
The Governor of Arizona authorized local governments to require masks. Prior to this, local governments were not allowed to mandate anything more stringent than what the state dictated. New York City and Washington DC will enter Phase II of reopening on Monday. Over 1.5 million Americans filed for first time unemployment benefits last week. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, said the Trump administration is “very seriously considering” another round of stimulus checks.
Chile will reinstate some restrictions as cases spike after a backlog of 31,000 cases were discovered. The President of Honduras was hospitalized for pneumonia Wednesday night. Earlier in the day he reported he had tested positive, with mild symptoms. The Eifel Tower in Paris will reopen next week….but the elevator won’t. Visitors who want to enjoy the view, will need to use the stairs.
The locations of hotspots and U.S and Country diagnoses in a moment.
