The U.S. reported more than 34,000 new coronavirus cases, higher than the daily totals of the past few days when testing slowed around the holiday weekend.

For Tuesday, the U.S. had 584,412 new tests, according to the Covid Tracking Project, comparing with 508,706 Monday. Both days were substantially lower than Sept. 3, when the number topped 900,000.

“If there is a Labor Day bump in cases, we probably will not be able to detect it until late September,” said Christine Ekenga, assistant professor of public health at Washington University in St. Louis.

California: Gov. Gavin Newsom said that, by one estimate, a “jaw dropping” 44% of small businesses in the state believed they might be forced to close because of the pandemic. He signed three bills Wednesday aimed at helping them, including one that will give up to $100 million in tax credits for small businesses that hire or rehire employees in the next three months.

2. Thanks to fat Nixon we just had a NC superspreader event in Winston-Salem.

Just when we seem to be in a leveling off situation.

I wouldn't be surprised if our step down to less restrictive guidance from NCDHHS and Governor Cooper is directly affected by his need to be stroked by his cult of idiot followers. I'm sure he didn't and never will do us any favors.

Thanks for sharing this, TomCADem.
