I’m not going to do this back and forth.
I wasn't even responding to you with my post. More I was responding "in general", because I couldn't respond to the stuff posted earlier today, and if I was responding to anyone, it was things that Touchdown had posted. Why you choose to make this about *you* I have no idea.
You posted it directly after my post within minutes and didn’t quote anyone. If that was the case then why not just say that in the first place to my first reply?
I wasn't at the end of the thread to even see your post!
You didn’t see the post you replied to?
I did not see the post with your FL stats when I made my post.You didn’t see the post you replied to?
is Labor Day weekend as school starting is the Delta variant is getting worse soon?Yes, most people want this to end. Obviously not all
Ok, that makes more sense. Let’s just move on.
I don’t know. Most schools seem to be taking precautions like masks and distancing when possible and last school year didn’t result in terrible spread. In lower vaccination areas and in places without masks and/or distancing it could be a problem
Getting thereNot a plateau for sure, but the increase in cases has slowed.
Below are the 7 day moving averages:
8/11 21,210 up 17% week over week
8/4 18,092 up 27% week over week
7/28 14,198 up 59% week over week
7/21 8,915 up 59% week over week
7/14 5,594
So the curve hasn’t declined or even plateaued but the growth in new cases has slowed and the slope of the curve is not as steep. It’s pretty hard to find the positive when we’re seeing 21K cases for a 7 day average but the slope is getting less steep. It’s something
Those kids NEEDs to mask up and social distancing in their first day at schools. That makes more kids NEED getting vaccinated by Fall.I don’t know. Most schools seem to be taking precautions like masks and distancing when possible and last school year didn’t result in terrible spread. In lower vaccination areas and in places without masks and/or distancing it could be a problem
Definitely less steep. That’s something
Some schools have already started. Some areas have already had problems. Ours has had a few things already for new students this week and school starts for most next. We were just told masks on Tuesday night for K-8 and strongly recommended 9-12. The administration will be wearing as well. So trying to be a role model of sorts for the kids. My 8th grader was at a mentorship training Tuesday before the rule was made and he said over half were masked. We're something like 75-80% vaccinated in my city and about half wore masks without being forced. I did tell my kid since he was mentoring 6th grade kids, that he would have to mask when being around them. He was cool with it. Now he doesn't have a choiceI don’t know. Most schools seem to be taking precautions like masks and distancing when possible and last school year didn’t result in terrible spread.

That may be the case is for monsters like Amazon, Uline, fast food places like McDonald’s, but there was many small businesses in my area they’re closed and are never coming back. If we were to have a 30 day shut down like the one poster strongly suggests , the pain and suffering from doing that would be off the chart.I heard the same thing about “business being destroyed” last year…but rest assured - the rich that Control policy are much richer now.
It all worked out
8/21 +/- a day or two is still my projected peak in FL. If I'm right, about a week to go.Definitely less steep. That’s something
I sure hope so. It does seem that the spread is slowing. Hoping a drop off happens soon! School starting may not help things but only time will tell. Our local schools started this week and there have been cases but no disasters yet
Lots of local businesses in my area survived and are doing great. They had to adapt and pivot but they survived.
20 percent of restaurants in Chicago closed for good.
