US coronavirus - LA County reports highest number of COVID-19 deaths since May 19

Earlier news out of Texas that the state had the biggest jump in the number of new cases since the pandemic began.

The issue with case reports is that it can be subject to the number of tests carried out.

However, and more gruesomely, the number of deaths is not subject to such a caveat.

Similarly, the Texas news I posted yesterday:

• US coronavirus - Texas virus hospitalizations have hit their highest since the outbreak began

Sad times indeed for many people.
