The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

Florida reported least amount of cases since July 7th and least amount of deaths since July 13th. Their 7-day avg of cases looks like it might continue to go down.

You know as well as anyone that we weren't catching as many cases back then. This whole graphic is disingenuous

Well, those deaths though...you're making excuses. Cuomo let people die.

Louisiana down from 3843 cases yesterday to 2343 today.

I imagine FL has a higher percentage of 65 and older population than NY.

How would catching fewer cases explain New York having over 6 times the number of deaths per 100k?

There's no doubt FLorida had some advantages that New York didn't (milder weather when first wave hit, less dense, slightly more notice, etc), but nothing that would excuse NY having 6 times the number of deaths per 100k. Cuomo and New York in general just did an awful job. Sending sick people into nursing homes, reducing mass transit capacity, effectively discouraging people from getting outside and encouraging them to remain indoors in relatively cramped quarters, often with multigenerational families. They basically made the wrong decision every time they had the chance.

Other states will probably close some of the gap, but probably none of them will get to NY or NJ levels of bad.

Those deaths were inflated for cash... everyone said so.

Love the black Nigerian lady doc who rips a new asshole to the fake narrative the "Orange Man Bad" crowd is pushing/spreading.

ETA: Fauci been telling everyone mostly the opposite of all of this. And IMO he's known the whole freakin time. What a fraud he is.

[Turfdawg67]

A Breitbart story about an event organized by the Tea Party Patriots. Lolz.

[dawgday166]

You're right. CNN and the Cuomo twins are much more accurate info. I've seen same thing from other doctors and different sites. They've been scared to speak up for fear of repercussions from Fauci and CDC.

There's also the advantage that Florida is only a few weeks into it getting bad there. And it's still bad. Pretty silly to even be comparing the two states before it gets better in Florida.

Cases are already on the decline.

[msstate7]

NJ with 639 cases, which is most since June 12th. The last thing we need is them taking off again.

Pretty silly to be building the foundation of your stance in all of this on numbers that lagged 4 months from the actual arrival of the virus too.

Y'all don't get too fired up about Monday new case numbers being down. If they were high then that WOULD be something to be worried about. That's just the nature of it, things are closed over the weekend. Watch the 7 day moving average when it come to new cases.

What state you talking about, Florida?

FLorida is only a few weeks into it getting bad there because they didn't do such an awful job stopping the spread. Again, I'm skeptical as to how much of that is due to state action and collective response versus circumstances like weather and density, but if government action does anything, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that New York and New Jersey did a terrible job and Florida is doing a pretty good job.

Lol...I can't wait for her to be right about alien DNA and people having sex with demons and witches getting them sick. That would be fun.

And she hasn't ripped anyone a new asshole....unless you're referring to the gullible rubes who buy into her grift.
