Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

So the increased hospitalizations are a coincidence?

No. Where did I say that? This is simple, Deb or Rob, posted a lie. He or she said the pandemic is accelerating. It’s not. We are testing WAY more people. So we are getting back WAY more cases.

 

[xdan0920]

Your exactly right it’s why there is so much division on this subject. For any that doesn’t believe it’s picking up speed are just blind to the facts. I’m not going to list the hundreds of scientific reports on it just in the last 2 weeks. Anyone that can google can find that out. Please, study and learn.

It’s not picking up speed. This isn’t a debate. You are posting a lie.

Then why are hospitalizations increasing if the number of infections is not increasing?

Yeah, i'd buy the more testing argument if the positivity rate wasn't consistently 13% - 16% and hospitalizations and deaths weren't increasing.

Certainly in places seeing a current spike like FL, TX, AZ and CA there’s really no arguing that the number of cases is increasing. It’s not just more testing.

...that's not how this works...

look at LA. 2 weeks ago 1 in 400 were infected, now 1 in 140, and they're warning us that within weeks it could be 1 in 70.

You would be correct IF the number of cases was going up proportionate to the increase in tests. It is not. So you are wrong.

Guys. Does anyone know what accelerating means?

 

[xdan0920]

Actually don’t bother answering. You want to post misleading information to scare people, go ahead. I’m gonna go enjoy my weekend. Hang with friends, maybe go down the shore, out to eat, play golf @Sirwalterraleigh, who knows.

do you? the pattern here seems to be to throw out a false conclusion, attack the definition of the metric, then leave bc you’re too busy

hmm maybe not. Can you tell me?

The time between 1 million to 2 million and 2 million to 3 million really doesn’t tell us anything if you’re not drilling down further because we tested more during the time period between 2 million and 3 million than between 1 and 2. So of course we would get to 3 million quicker than 2 million no matter what else may be occurring. Now you could potentially drill down and see we still could/would have gotten to 3 million quicker even if testing was equal, due things like an increased positivity rate. But because the original post doesn’t take into account testing increases, changes to positivity rates (either up or down depending on the state), these numbers are essentially worthless and don’t prove anything other we have a crap ton of cases that are still going up.

I ask the questions!

No! Clearly you left out “calling everyone a cadre”

Also, Miami-Dade is reporting a 28% positivity rate for the past 24 hours and has been above the 18% mark for 14 days

Another record-setting day of Covid-19 cases across the US came with a spotlight on Florida, which publicly released its number of coronavirus patients currently in the hospital after weeks of pressure to do so.

not surprised. That is pretty much THE hotspot in Florida.

Might be the hotspot in the world right now.

And not in the way they are typically called that.

I haven’t looked at LA county recently...
