And dont forget we had for quite awhile the 9/11 doubters trying to prove conspiracies with laughable 'evidence'.
That would be the equivalent of believing Coronavirus was intentionally released from a lab in China.

They didn’t doubt that 9/11 happened or that people died.

No case counts posted today for FL, so methinks that there is some funny business going on again with counts.

Or, the pandemic is over since there were no cases today???

It was delayed - up now with a new record amount of cases.

The current situation is not a problem with long roots. Something changed dramatically in the last few years, leaving us uniquely unable to deal with the pandemic. We need to be very clear on that point.

I agree wholeheartedly. This became a political sticking point in America in a way that many (not all) other countries mostly avoided. Not to say those grassroots didn't try, but it didn't stick as readily. This is not to say it is strictly politically divided, but that is the core root of how it was able to gain steam.

Historically crisis have been used to bring Americans together and it is only recently that the motivation became to divide. There has been success in picking a side instead of appealing to the middle, unlike we have ever seen before.

The covid crisis has unified countries ( Canada, Australia, New Zealand ) , divided the greatest and most powerful country on earth - USA ) , targeted, abused, assaulted innocent immigrants in the USA . We can be better than this.

It’s important to note that America’s problem is not primarily long-seated differences between states or some national cantankerousness with a long tradition. In 2001 about 5% of Americans had vaccine doubts. By 2015 that was about 12%. In those days, the most prominent anti-Vaxxer was a widely mocked former Playboy model.

The current situation is not a problem with long roots. Something changed dramatically in the last few years, leaving us uniquely unable to deal with the pandemic. We need to be very clear on that point.
Generations of degrading critical thinking/reading comprehension skills in schools made brains of people beyond inadequate for handling the mass open transfer of information we see over the internet today.

Except they cancelled the event to postpone into 2022 cause stupid Delta variants are ruining as fall/winter thing could be EVEN worse.

So the latest daily total for yesterday is 24,753.

Days to report 500,000 Cases (Data starts on March 3rd, 2020 when we had the first confirmed cases and spans 526 days (August 10th, 2021), the last set covers 300K cases):

0K to 500K: 157 Days (100K average per 31.4 days)
500K to 1M: 118 Days (100K average per 23.6 days)
1M to 1.5M: 43 Days (100K average per 8.6 days)
1.5M to 2M: 73 Days (100K average per 14.6 days)
2M to 2.5M: 119 Days (100K average per 23.8 days)
2.5M to 2.8M: 16 Days (100K average per 5.33 days)
Florida Case Totals as per CDC data: 2,806,813

From CDC Data dated August 11th, 2021.

Once we hit a little above the 3 million mark, which feels only weeks away at this point, roughly 15% of all Floridians will have contracted covid. Insane.

I expect that we will reach 3 Million in the next 7 days to 9 days.

To break that down to be a bit ore in-depth:
0 to 2,508,458 Cases = 510 Days (March 2nd, 2020 to July 25th, 2021)

2,508,458 Cases to 2,806,813 cases = 16 Days (July 25th, 2021 to August 10th, 2021)

Another way to do it:
July 24th, 2021 to July 30th added 110,421 cases in just 7 days
July 31st, 2021 to August 5th, 2021 added 110,733 cases in just 6 days
August 6th 2021, to August 10th, 2021 added 105,104 cases in just 5 days.

If it keeps the current trend of exponential growth that we are currently seeing, we can easily see another 100,000 in 4 and then in 3 days respectively.

This is all under a discrepancy of 5.25%. The CDCs Numbers differentiate from the Florida Department of Health weekly reports totals from May 28th, 2021 to August 5th, 2021 with the CDC underreporting 22,386 cases.
