Kansas City Makes a Very Ugly Pandemic List Today


Yes sir and ma'am, Kansas City made a very ugly, national pandemic list today.



The upshot:

White House coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx is warning of an uptick in coronavirus cases in nine U.S. cities.

“Many of the Sun Belt states have made substantial progress with their mitigation efforts,” Birx told state and local officials on Wednesday, according to a copy of the call obtained the Center for Public Integrity, referring to a slew of Southern states that experienced surges earlier this summer.

But Birx said that the percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive is increasing in nine U.S. cities as well as California's Central Valley.


And here you go:

"We are concerned that both Baltimore and Atlanta remain at a very high level. Kansas City, Portland, Omaha, of course what we talked about in the Central Valley,” Birx said. "We are seeing a slow uptick in test positivity in cases in places like Chicago, Boston and Detroit and D.C.”

All anyone can say folks is STAY AT HOME, much as you can and always, always WEAR YOUR MASK!

Stay safe out there, y'all.  Be well. Stay well.
