It’s been said a million times but it’s true and if we did we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. Slower openings.. masks mandatory.. social distancing as much as possible. These are basic and not hard things to do. I just don’t get it.
It took 95 days to reach I million.
It took 43 days to reach 2 million.
It took 28 days to reach 3 million.

it’s accelerating, we all know it and we handled it badly. As others mentioned, we are here now, what do we do.
This is disingenuous in the extreme. Not normalized for testing at all.

Try and stay level headed y’all.

Just pointing out again that only 31 of those 120 reported yesterday died in July.
I’ve heard that. Wasn’t going to add it in with the article but I don’t like leaving things out when I post one. Funny thing is, a quick google search shows most Florida papers saying it was 120 in one day. But you found the one silver lining, if true, with all those horrible other things happening.🙂

So there were 93 deaths in FL recorded today. I suppose someone needs to come through and break down when they actually happened.

This is ridiculous, BTW. At the end of June certain people were going around, "where are the deaths?" Using the absence of deaths as proof that the rising cases didn't mean much. So now the deaths are coming out, and it's still not proof of anything because "they were in the past." Nice little system.

No...I said, IF. lol. I don't really know.

Read to fast, my mistake.

There has to be one out there.

The data is there. If we could do it here they should be able to do it.

When I get time (obviously I have some)....When I want to put in the effort I'll try and find one.

I like you. Lol You remind me of a guy I worked with. He was level headed And a great guy. He never took sides, stayed on the fence and looked over to see both sides. Never knew exactly where he stood but was hilarious. We would call him the sniper.. because once in awhile he would attack ( not in a mean way, just in a way we never expected) . We would be like, where did that come from? Then a hour or two later do the same thing to the other side. Always keeping people on there toes. Great guy. Anyway, cheers! I wish I could be more level headed and try and control myself more.🙂

So basically what you're saying is, I try really hard to hide the jerk in me...but sometimes I just cannot help myself and the jerk comes out? I am not sure how to take this...but there may be truth there... :hilarious: :p

Unless one is using an old smartphone then the code is not needed to know if apps are using location services. They are something that requires user permission and can be turned off.
Sure, but does everyone do that. You can’t use your phone for directions or to locate the nearest XYZ without that turned on. My only point is I think a lot of people are fine with turning a blind eye to “privacy” when it benefits them immediately, but when something has no “perceived value” to them directly then it’s hide behind privacy rights. We all know social media companies are actively compiling data on all users and even selling it, yet people have accounts and use them. Even Disney with the magic bands, after all the talk of privacy concerns how many people actually refused to use the bands? My guess is some, but not many.

The thing I find more humorous is that there seems to be some correlation between "masks are dumb" and "I'm not going to have an app invade my privacy." I like to look at mask requirements as mandatory anonymity.

????? This I have to hear. Please expand on your very mysterious post.
The epidemic isn’t accelerating. Your post is, at best disingenuous, at worst, a knowing lie.

That type of thing is why there is such division on this issue.

We did almost 6 million tests so far in July. 6 million. Think that has anything to do with case counts?

FWIW, only 5 countries on earth have done that many tests EVER. And we did it in 9 days.

So the increased hospitalizations are a coincidence?
