I just watched the task force meeting. Most people testing positive are young people and young people are more likely to hang out in bat. It could be why they are closing bars.

There are reports that the county linked almost 200 cases to just one college bar by UCF, so it was pretty darn clear in this case. (Although the bar's owner disputes it)

Its really sad so many try to put a positive spin on all of this. 😡. Yes it's good hospitalizations aren't going up but it's still too many cases. Sure it may not kill you but there is a good chance you will get very sick.

I look at how where I live handled this whole thing and have to shake my head how so many downplay this. Where I live we had 111 new cases which would be great numbers. Yet some how almost 9000 new cases is ok.

The downplay is strong in this place.

I don’t know how many of you watched the task force meeting, but I found the data to be encouraging. Only 5% of positive cases require hospital ization and the death rate has decreased pretty significantly. The presser seemed really directed at young people to be compliant.They are the group testing positive and the majority of them are asymptomatic

There was no recommendation to shut anything down again.

“The number of daily deaths from coronavirus has been falling consistently since peaking in late April. In fact, even as infections have risen since early June, deaths have not.

At the peak in late April, more than 2,000 were dying from coronavirus on a typical day. In late June, it's less than 600. That's still a large number of deaths every day. All told, roughly 115,000 have died from COVID-19 to date.”

Sadly that 600/day is sure to grow in 2-3 weeks when these new infections reach their peak in terms of the clinical course.

Was the goal to get sick and not die?

Replace sick with immune and I thought that was the plan? Not arguing but my understanding was the lock downs where to keep people form overwhelming the hospitals. To give the system time to beef up and spread the sickness out. People staying home was never to prevent people from getting the virus, my understanding is that we NEED to get the virus either though exposure with a system that can cope and effective treatments (not saying we are here yet) or though a vaccine (also not available at this time). Either way my understanding was the only way this ends is with heard immunity and the only way that happens is with people getting sick. So yes I would say people getting sick and not dying was very much the goal, at least in the beginning. That being said the large increases we are seeing should not be desirable to anyone.

Thank you, since some still don't believe that or are constantly ask for sources when I have been stating that fact

I agree. I think it’s pretty obvious by now that bars were a major source of the spread, especially some of the ones opened with little restriction. I don’t know why some people want to point to other things and ignore that when the obvious is right in front of you. When the story about the bar in Jacksonville was brought up here people insisted it was fake news or questionable. I think now that we’ve seen multiple similar stories it’s pretty hard to make that argument. Hopefully today’s pull back and a future statewide mask mandate will reverse recent trends and the re-opening can be brought back on track.

What positive spin, you even agreed that it is good that hospitalizations aren't going up, that is all I stated.

ETC - *good that hospitalizations aren't going up
