Right - they changed their numbers as they got more data. What's controversial about this? The 3.4% death rate at the beginning was before they were aware of how widespread the disease was due to low or asymptomatic cases.

So you would rather 3.4 percent died instead? I never said it was just a statistic, I said I am glad that initial predictions thankfully were not turning out as grim!
Geez. Smh
and for the last time, I have made it clear that regardless of how much progress we make, we should STILL TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO HELP MITIGATE UNTIL A VACCINE ARRIVES.
I think the point is that it SHOULD be much lower, but maybe we should not get into that or we will all end up in the same argument we end up in every week.

With a survival rate over 99% (for people under 70), I wouldn't exactly say Florida was loosing. Some people continue to act as if bodies are littering the streets of their neighborhood and we are living in some scene out of Resident Evil. Why? Why do they act like this? Why do they continue to shame anybody who questions the narrative?
It's getting absurd. There are people getting ill from seasonal allergies or the common cold and their immediate reaction is to point the finger at others for spreading covid or even for spreading allergies. Then you have people who have absolutely no idea what the actual circumstances are telling them to report those people or businesses to OSHA or the local task force. 99% survival rate and it's been show time and time again that even those who die had pre existing conditions a majority of the time. But ya, I know, I'm a conspiracy theorist for pointing out the survival rate. I don't care about life because I think wearing a mask in your car is ridiculous.
I don’t know where all the stuff about seasonal allergies, OSHA and wearing a mask in your car is coming from so I won‘t address that. The specific comment I had replied to said FL had gambled and was winning. As far as I know the survival rate in FL is no better than anywhere else so I’m not sure how survival rate is relevant to that discussion. Businesses in FL are still suffering greatly. WDW is a shadow of its former self. I hardly call that winning. It‘s staying afloat and hoping to ride this out at best.

If 1% of the people who visited the Magic Kingdom every year didn't survive, or even 1% of the people that got a sunburn at Magic Kingdom every year didn't survive, people would stop going pretty quickly.
Huge numbers when combined with even very small percentages are a bad combination. If it was 99.99% survival rate, I would feel much better.
Don't you know, you're only allowed to view this through a negative lens. Citing the absolutely high percentage of surviving means your wearing a tin foil hat. Lock your windows, close your doors.
You should know I purchase auto, home and health insurance as do most people, I never expect those to pay me back the premiums, the insurance companies have run the numbers and they set the premium amount. Not in my favor but I digress, the reason I buy insurance is not for the 99% of the time I don't need it but the 1% of the time I do. Lousy odds of getting my money back but like most people I understand the 1% needs to be planned for and protected against.
First you take out people over 70 to make you numbers more amenable to you. So, you're discounting the lives of human beings over 70.
Then you think 99% survival is a somehow a good or OK rate.
Think about walking into a supermarket with about a hundred people in it. You have COVID, and by going into the market without your mask, you spread COVID to some people and it continues to spread to the rest. Eventually, over a few days of the same people going in and out, everyone in the market gets COVID.
One of them will die.
Because of you.
Happy about that 99% rate still? Or would you hope they're old so they don't count?

As New Jersey continues to deal with a surge in new COVID-19 cases, the list of states and territories that require a 14-day quarantine when travelers arrive increased Tuesday.
I've found 1 tiny/slightly positive to the current Disney and covid situation. If Disney cruises were still sailing these past couple of months there may have been quite a few changed or cancelled with the cluster of hurricanes we've seen in the Gulf. As much as it sucks there is more notice now of Disney vacation plans needing to change for hotels or park issues than a cruise would be able to give because of weather.
