Most of the time when we talk about breaking records, it's a positive thing.
Not today.
And according to chief medical officer dr. jeremy blanchard, this record may be broken in coming weeks.
Whenever you look at record setting numbers you really have to look back 10 to 14 days from when the event happened.
(track) the event, in today's case, was memorial day, which was exactly 14 days ago.
That, and the combination of eased restrictions are a couple of reasons dr. blanchard believes we saw the record number of cases today.
He also believes the public's reluctance to wearing a mask is a major cause.
He said that in nmmc nursing homes, less than one percent of employees have contracted the virus.
He attributes that to mask wearing and he said if people want to avoid another record day they should start wearing one.
(blanchard) if you wear your mask, and i wear my mask, we can decrease the risk to both of us of the spreading of the disease, but the problem is you don't know who has the disease or not so on memorial day, as we love to do, especially in the south, we came together, but unfortunately we didn't come together with the masks and these numbers are reflective of that.
(track) and we're not out of the woods just yet.
All across the united states people have come together to protest police brutality and the death of george floyd.
Dr. blanchard said that we could see another potential record setting spike in 10-14 days.
(blanchard) it is the perfect situation for this virus, it's like this.
Let's say we had really dry woods in the northwest for example, and maybe everyone who smoked was asked to stand in the river when they smoked and suddenly they said, go ahead, go in the woods.
See if you smoke and be careful, what happens is one person is going to drop their cigarette and that's the way it is with this virus.
Dr. blanchard emphasized that people should do three things to continue to combat the spread: wash your hands for at least 20 seconds multiple times a day.
Social distance when you're at gatherings.
And wear your mask properly.
