The coronavirus didn't go away, it has just been resting...
We are starting to see new coronavirus cases surge in several states across the US, specifically in the South and Southwest.
So much so that they are now seeing numbers they haven't seen since the pandemic began...
For example, Arizona has seen more than 1,000 new cases just about every day for the past 2 weeks.
And they saw a new record today with over 2,400 new cases reported.
The governor's stay at home orders were removed May 15th and the numbers have been climbing just about ever since.
They are still a long ways away from what we were seeing in New York, but the trajectory is alarming and causing some to question whether or not we opened back up too soon...
As you can see, that is an alarming trajectory, especially when this thing was supposed to start dying down in the summer...
The surprising thing is that the stock market has continued to mostly be immune to the spike in coronavirus cases.
Apart from a freak-out last week, it has mostly continued to march higher day after day.
My guess is that the stock market thinks the most recent upsurge in new cases is just a blip on the way to us getting a handle on the virus, or it is about to take a significant tumble.
Either way I suspect the stock market is about to get volatile in the coming weeks.
Overall, what do you think, did we open back up too soon?
Stay informed my friends.

I have lost all trust in anything coming from main stream media.
IMHO the lock down had absolutely nothing to do with a virus.
The Covid 19 Virus is no more deadly than the common cold. If we include all the falsified death certificates we can make it look as deadly as a really bad flue season.
In my mind it is about bringing in the Hunger Games Society and we only have a short window of opportunity to shut this nonsense down before the general public are completely enslaved and sterilized
How exactly does a Hunger Game Society come from this? Take me step by step...
This will all follow the statistics. For example, if 500,000 people would perish in two weeks if we did not nothing, it would be the same as 500,000 people perishing over several months. Flattening the curve was never about saving lives. Flattening the curve is about stretching out the inevitable as much as possible.
Opening up too early implies that the mortality rate would be different if we continued to keep things tight. The reality is that the most vulnerable would be just as vulnerable in a few months as they are today. It is folly to think that we're saving lives by taking precautions. We're just prolonging the inevitable, extending lives of those who would succumb.

In a vacuum this would be correct. However, given that there are limited hospital beds and medical supplies
prolonging things does in fact save lives. I know of several people that had to go to the hospital due to the virus and were literally on the verge of death but eventually pulled through. Had there been so many people sick all at once that they couldn't receive treatment, they would most likely be dead right now. That is just one example...
