Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 10-02-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for October 2nd, 2020.
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have both tested positive for the coronavirus and have begun a quarantine. Speculation is they may have contracted it from aide Hope Hicks, who tested positive with symptoms and who traveled with the President on Air Force One and Marine One.
At home spit tests are not panning out yet as hoped. Two companies working on them have abandoned their efforts. It was hoped that spit tests that produce results in minutes would exponentially expand the number of people getting tested and pave a path back to normalcy.
Moscow’s mayor ordered companies to send 30% of their workers home — as well as anyone over 65 or who has an underlying condition. The number of cases in the capital doubled over the past week.
Amazon reports almost 20,000 of its front-line U.S. workers have tested positive or been presumed positive. Still, that’s below the infection rate seen in the general U.S. population. Amazon was under pressure from workers and labor groups to divulge its COVID-19 numbers.
You might not get a fever, you might not have a cough, but new research shows one symptom is consistently a prominent indicator you have the virus. It’s loss of smell and taste. The researchers based in the U.K. say that should be a trigger to self-isolate regardless of other symptoms.
The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Roosevelt, MT. Emmons, ND. Logan, ND. Campbell, SD. Glacier, MT. Lyman, SD. Potter, TX. Joplin, MO. Nelson, ND. And Beckham, OK.
There are 2,545,390 active cases in the United States. The current Top 10 states by number of active cases: California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Texas, Alabama, and Illinois.
The five states with the most daily new cases per capita over 7 days are North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Utah, and Iowa.
The retransmission rate is currently highest in Wyoming, Massachusetts, Montana, Indiana, and New Mexico. While the lowest retransmission is found in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, California, and Virginia.
There’ve been a total 207,791 deaths in the US reported as COVID-related, with a current national fatality rate of 2.90%.
The states with the most new deaths reported as COVID-related: Florida 129. Texas 119. California 89. North Carolina and Tennessee 47. Georgia 42. Missouri 26. And Illinois, Arizona and Massachusetts all with 24.
Globally, there are 7,782,161 active cases.
There are 316,089 new cases around the world in the last 24 hours, compared to a high of 332,905.
The five countries with the most new cases: India 81,693. United States 47,389. Brazil 35,643. Argentina 14,001. And France 13,970.
