Birx says they have concerns about states that have both rising numbers of cases and rising test-positivity rates. She says the two top states for test-positives are Texas and Arizona, followed by FL, MS, SC, AL, GA, LA, NV, UT.
It looks like the hoax has come to red states

Did Trump say that the ONLY reason there are more cases is because there is more testing? Maybe I just missed the ONLY part. If he said ONLY that would be a misstatement. But maybe he meant, if he did say ONLY, that it is because more testing will always reveal more cases which wouldn't be discovered with less testing--which applies no matter what the actual rise or reason for it is.
Did Trump say that Coronavirus does not exist, that it is a hoax? I missed the part where he said it didn't exist. Maybe he missed it too since he has been doing so much to fight it.
