The Sunshine State has "all the markings of the next large epicenter of coronavirus transmission," and risks being the "worst it has ever been," according to projections from a model by scientists at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania.
"That makes me very worried because, at the numbers they're now seeing, it's very easy to start doubling and lose control of the epidemic," Dr. David Rubin, director of PolicyLab at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told CNN on Thursday.
Rubin said model predictions are matched by actual cases in Florida and confirmed by increasing hospitalizations from Tampa to Orlando to Miami-Dade County and up the east and west coasts of the state.
"The potential for the virus to take off there is very, very nerve-racking and could have catastrophic consequences" because of the state's aging population and the prevalence of nursing homes and retirement communities, said Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Ten states saw a record number of new Covid-19 cases this week, and one of them could be the next epicenter of the national health crisis.

"Apple is temporarily again closing 11 stores in four states again because of "current COVID-19 conditions."
The closures include all six Arizona stores, two on Florida's West Coast, two in North Carolina and one in South Carolina, Apple shared with USA TODAY. The four states have experienced spikes in number of coronavirus cases."
“Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas," Apple said in a statement. "We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible."

So, no, no one is predicting New York type deaths. As I mentioned, there is a reason to be concerned. But I will add, no reason to be hysterical....we should have a better idea in a week or so.

This is a very responsible statement. Maybe this will put pressure on companies like Disney.“Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas," Apple said in a statement. "We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible."

I don't know what to tell you if you think "worst it's ever been" and "catastrophic consequences" is A-OK because no one mentioned New York by name.

WDW is not set to open until July 11th. So I don't think this puts any pressure on them right now.

what do you think happens to all of the people who are being admitted to the hospital right now?
How long does that take?
Taking action now is the responsible thing to do.

I didn't say it was okay. But it is also a bit of hyperbole. "Risks being..." "Could have..."

That whole article is "it might" ..."could be" etc etc. Modern day chicken running around saying the sky is falling is some doctor trying to get on tv.

IHME | COVID-19 Projections
Explore forecasts of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospital resource use.
covid19.healthdata.org
Current UofW model has projected 18,000 deaths in FL by 10/1. But the uncertainty range is from 8,000-55,000.
The model also shows the all the FL ICU beds full around when Disney reopens in a couple weeks.
How many people above normal admissions are being admitted into the hospital right now due to Covid in this "dramatic" spike?

How do we copy an island nation with massively lower population and minimal diversity? They can't be compared at all in my opinion.

That range though....

Especially so late in the game where we have to manage with current cards we dealt ourselves.

Florida reported a new record of 3,822 new COVID-19 cases today:
Italy had 6,600 cases on its worst day on 21 March before cases started going down. That was almost 2 weeks after the start of their national lockdown.
Italy's population (60 million) is almost 3 times that of Florida (21 million), so Florida's cases right now are far worse than Italy on its worst day and we're opening things up and wearing masks has turned into a political issue.
If this continues I don't see how Disney World is opening up in 3 weeks.

Yes the Springs have the T-Rex issue was out of Disney's control and the management and owners of T-Rex need to be held accountable if they were aware the worker was sick, and if the worker actually knew he was sick should be fired period.
Yes cases are up and when you see people walking around without masks you can see why the cases are up. They need to enforce the no mask rule kick people out of any establishment if they do not have one.
At Costco it's mandatory you have a mask if not one will be provides if you do not want to wear one you are asked to leave. It's not that hard, Publix, Walmart, malls, ect.... can do the same thing.

Eventually, it will be mandatory everywhere, but most likely not enforced. I guess I just don't understand people's reluctance on wearing one. Is a pride thing? A sign of weakness? A disbelief that they are effective or doing anything to help?

What about doing what another lose grouping of semi autonomous states with similar population and diversity have been doing?
