Uhhhhh. Duh?
Funny thing. I thought that after about 6 years I was finished with listening to people lecture me on epidemiology.
So Hindsite. Since your sense of smell is still extant (that is a very good sign for someone your age) let me give you the sniff you are looking for. This will smell as sweet as a rose to you. How is the republican governor in Florida doing leadership wise:
Today Florida reported 133 deaths from Corona Virus in the last 24 hours.. More than were killed in traffic accidents in the average day in the entire United States.
291,629 people have been diagnosed with the disease since March. (The number is rising extremely fast.)
9194 cases were added today.
4,409 people have died of Corona Virus in Florida and this number is probably significantly under reported.
NOW PAY ATTENTION HINDSITE. THERE WILL BE A TEST. ARE YOU READY? DO YOU HAVE AN ADULT TO EXPLAIN THE BIG NUMBERS TO YOU? DO YOU HAVE A NOTE PAD AND #2 PENCIL?
To date there have been 2,688,366 people tested in Florida. OK. Talk about that with the adult and when you know what that number means I'll go on. Ready? OK.
To date there have been 291,628 cases of Corona virus. Another really big number. Now. What does that mean? It means that for every case of Corona Virus there have been about 9.218 people tested.
That should make you feel a lot better. Good enough to have some prune juice and go to bed?
But here is the thing Hindsite. Do you know what does not pass the smell test? The fact that businesses are still open in Florida and the infection rate is skyrocketing. Since deaths are a lagging indicator by AT LEAST two weeks, as they say, You ain't seen nothing yet.
. Yea we all were sitting quarantined in our houses for 3 months with the virus and the second they open up the hair salons this virus it out of control.
I guess its past the radar of the supposed intelligent elite that Northerners brought that shit here.
Local News Investigation Finds Florida Hospitals Exaggerated COVID NumbersBy Eric Lendrum • July 15, 2020
After an investigation by local media outlet Fox 35 in Orlando, Florida, it has been revealed that the supposed positivity rates in Coronavirus testings have been grossly exaggerated in many hospitals.
The investigation was conducted after several facilities reported unusually high numbers of positive results, including a 100 percent positivity rate at an Orlando Centra Care (where all 83 people tested came back positive), and an 88 percent positivity rate at NCF Diagnostics.Upon getting in contact with several other facilities, Fox 35 found that the Florida Department of Health had either deliberately exaggerated or unintentionally misinterpreted several of the numbers. Although Orlando Health had been reported to have a positivity rate of 98 percent, representatives of the facility confirmed to the news outlet that their positivity rate was actually a mere 9.4 percent.
Similarly, the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center, which had been reported with a positivity rate of 76 percent, confirmed to the news outlet that theirs was a positivity rate of only 6 percent.
When the Florida Department of Health was confronted with these figures, a spokesperson claimed that such smaller medical facilities had failed to report their negative test numbers and had only included the positives in their reports, which would contribute to the misreporting of 100 percent positivity rates.
In recent weeks, the mainstream media has attempted to paint Florida as the new epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, citing such numbers as the alleged increase in positive cases. However, in addition to this new research debunking those numbers, the state of Florida has still managed to keep its death toll significantly low, especially compared to other states that have been ravaged by the disease such as New York.
