That has to be wrong...
I'm switching "sides".
Will make it easier for me to cope with this.
All these numbers are fake. Is there even a June 30th?!

and record 409 hospitalizations added
What won’t be measured is the collateral damage though, if ICUs are overwhelmed then they have no room for other patients too. Also, death should not be the only metric, younger people may be dying less but that doesn’t mean that those that do are any more tragic and that those people won’t have chronic medical conditions (PEs, strokes, heart attacks, chronic lung and kidney disease) because of this virus.
Treatments are better but still not good enough, the longer we flatten the curve the more time we give researchers to find a more effective treatment and/or vaccine.

Do you have a link or more info on this? That's nearly triple the last day, and far and away the most the state has ever had. Is this like NJ, or did all these deaths that happened in the last 24 hours? That's potentially an eye popping number.
I completely agree! But what is the infection rate in the elderly right now? I had thought that was going down and rate was increasing in the younger population.
I see nothing to celebrate for the next two years. I find it hearbreaking as a nation we can't even agree on masks and other mitigations. Everyone has their hopes on a vaccine but ignores the fact that the flu vaccine is at best 30% effective. With the amount of positives we are past the point of contact tracing and I really don't know where we go from here, it is completely depressing.

Given the time lag that it usually takes to process a death certificate, I'm guessing those numbers filtered in over a few days.
IMHO the total hospitalization rate is more important then ICU beds. In march if you needed more that 5 liters of oxgen you were vented and admitted into ICU. Now that has changed and more pts are admitted to the floor on high flow oxgen which creates a whole other debate.

I'm reading there is only 900 iCU beds left at this time

Over 8,900 new Florida coronavirus cases reported Thursday; 120 new deaths
The 120 new deaths reported was the largest single-day increase of the pandemic. Locally, Hillsborough reported 19 new deaths, Pinellas reported 12, Polk reported five, Manatee noted three, Sarasota reported two, while Pasco and DeSoto each reported one.

the labs are backed up, so its possible they are testing more, but the results aren't coming in

I think we still might be seeing the lag from July 4. My brother was tested on Sunday and hasn't received his results yet.

You know what's funny?
I would be worried about staffing more than beds.

staffing is a huge problem, but the thing with ICU beds is that they're made so they can be equipped with heavier equipment, ventilators for example

its just bad news out of Florida today. I wouldn't be surprised if they start matching with Texas/arizona in the next week.

So I guess the "Good" news would be that the deaths aren't all from yesterday (please note I am not saying those deaths are in anyway good, just that it's not worst case). However, the 2 notes at the bottom are quite interesting, and would lend some explanation as to why we haven't seen the death increases (yet).
