webfact Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Florida records 9,300 new coronavirus cases, blows past New York By Diane Craft FILE PHOTO: EMTs cleanse their materials outside Memorial West Hospital where coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients are treated, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, U.S. July 13, 2020. REUTERS/Maria Alejandra Cardona/File Photo (Reuters) - Florida on Sunday became the second state after California to overtake New York, the worst-hit state at the start of the U.S. novel coronavirus outbreak, according to a Reuters tally. Total COVID-19 cases in the Sunshine State rose by 9,300 to 423,855 on Sunday, just one place behind California, which now leads the country with 448,497 cases. New York is in third place with 415,827 cases. Still, New York has recorded the most deaths of any U.S. state at more than 32,000 with Florida in eighth place with nearly 6,000 deaths. On average, Florida has added more than 10,000 cases a day in July while California has been adding 8,300 cases a day and New York has been adding 700 cases. The surge in Florida has continued as the state's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has repeatedly said he will not make mask-wearing mandatory and that schools must reopen in August. On the contrary, New York state has managed to get the virus under control, with stores and restaurants shuttered and the wearing of masks mandatory. 2020-07-26T210306Z_1_LOV000M4H2L4F_RTRMADV_STREAM-2000-16X9-MP4_HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-USA.MP4 Florida on Sunday overtook New York in cases of the novel coronavirus, behind only California in the U.S. epidemic. Lisa Bernhard produced this report. The rise in cases also comes as President Donald Trump is pushing to re-open U.S. schools in the fall, despite teachers' and families' concerns that children could contract or transmit the disease should they return to the classroom. After New York, Texas has the most total coronavirus cases at 391,000. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Tropical Storm Hanna, which made landfall on Saturday as a Category 1 hurricane, was especially challenging as it was sweeping through an area of the state that has been the worst hit by the coronavirus. For the tenth time in July, Alaska set a record for a one-day rise in cases, with 234 new infections on Sunday, bringing the state's total to 3,100. Oklahoma hit a record for new cases five times in July, with 1,204 new infections on Sunday bringing the state's total to 31,285. More than 146,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 - nearly a quarter of the global total -- and there are nearly 4.2 million confirmed cases in the country, or at least 1 in 79 people have been infected.

Do you even try to think before posting somthing? Everything you said is demonstratably wrong. How can you deduce that everyone has been infected from the fact that Florida has had 400K cases out of a population of 21 millions? How can you think the death count is still the same as the flu with 150K US Covid deaths in less than 6 months while flu deaths range from 20 to 60K per year. The flu vaccine has no impact on testing positive or not. This is not how PCR works. Not at all. Oh, and even if this was killing the same as the flu, does it make it ok? Putting it in terms you might understand: Imagine after you paid your taxes, the government comes back and makes you pay again for the same amount. "No big deal, it's not worse than what I paid already". People like you just refuse to confront the reality of the issue because deep inside you're scared. 12 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a scientist but it does seem that herd immunity cannot be predicted to occur at a certain time in the future and in many cases can only be noted after the event. Currently herd immunity is something that politicians are wishing/praying for. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm in the nursing homes you mean? Why, it's quite high as is the population density of Stockholm. How about the stats of a grand total of 71 people under the age of 50 dying from covid in Sweden? How about the fact of those that died of covid had an average age older than pre covid days? The same applies to New York. How about this graph that shows the US number of deaths being as the same as march levels? Looks like there isn't any correlation to cases and deaths now does it. In fact, cases are up, deaths are down just like every seasonal flu and coronavirus that have come before this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post paddypower Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I'm interested in further discussion of the OP, because events in Florida have followed a similar trajectory as in the UK. Both refused to recognise that long after the alarm bells rang - there needed to be clear guidelines, with proper enforcement measures, to restrict large gatherings of the public. we saw it with the UK allowing the hobnobs to have their Chelteham party, Europe has international football; and Florida Gov. DeSantis allowed Spring Break, amongst his continuing idiocracy. Both UK and Florida (and other Republican governed States) have refused requiring mandatory mask, mostly. Also, there is a shortage of testing and timely reporting - not to mention that townships in Florida and the UK are reporting a shortage of ICU beds. Obama, despite his faults, left a hard copy legacy and a trained international organization to handle such an epidemic. It got trashed due to one man's ego. I don't believe that this virus happened because Planet Earth got p/o'd with us - mankind has elected mostly incompetent governments to take care of us; certainly in the West, we and thsoe we elect have become lazy, soft, weak. Will we learn from this? I am trying, but I'm not sure enough others will. Edited July 27, 2020 by paddypower 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1) Wait for the end of this year, in order to be able to compare Covid-19 numbers with yearly flu numbers (2) There is a reliable way to check the validity of covid-19 death: the number of excess death (see the FT article). In most countries the number of official CV deaths in close to or below the number of excess death. (3) Not a good idea to choose UK as an example to support your claim. With only 45,752 reported CV deaths and 65,700 excess deaths, it is one of the countries with the highest percentage of unreported CV deaths. https://www.ft.com/content/a26fbf7e-48f8-11ea-aeb3-955839e06441 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
