The daily cases have gone up because they’ve done a lot more testing, double at some sites and they’ve added several sites. The percentage a few days ago was 10.8. So 10.2 is a drop. Yes, it will be interesting to watch.
I don’t think the total number is important as “The Who.” If we can’t adequately test first responders, health care workers, care facilities staff & residents, prisoners and prison staff, manufacturing plants and homeless shelters and staff...The people who can’t effectively social distance and where outbreaks can get out of hand...we aren’t close.
You are allowed to link it here. I would like to see it also. Just no political links and I’m sure it’s fine.
I think most in that position are clear...but they know if it isn’t coordinated on a national level they have little shot of doing anything quickly. That’s pretty much universal across the board.
Sweden, like the US, is lagging in testing thus your numbers of new cases may simply reflect that. Plus the source of your data isn’t named, so it’s problematic for that reason as well. A more useful metric would be number of hospitalizations or deaths, which Sweden isn’t doing too well w/, but even that isn’t foolproof since different countries have different criteria for what is/isn’t reported as a covid-19 death.
If you’re really curious about the data and want to really dig into it objectively consider this link http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/covid19/#rates-norm-peaked which has a number of very interesting charts comparing most countries. There’s links in the Q&A section to his data and John Hopkins data.
ugh me too. I haven't been sick *knock on wood* since before having my daughter last August. Chances are almost null that I've had this! We were social distancing before it was cool....aka had a newborn LOLYeah, you have a much better shot then me of having actually had this and now have the anti-bodies, but I can dream
Worldometer puts Florida's deaths at 58 for today.
Big mistake. I live in Canada and fear for my neighbors to the south. Up here nothing is opening til maybe summer as our cases continue to climb. When they do start lower they will think of lifting some restrictions. Til there is a treatment or vaccine normal is out of the question.
Ummm....about that....
It reminds me of shingles: which is reactivation of chickenpox and can give someone chickenpox if they haven't had the vaccine.
You do know that FL reports twice a day, right? Maybe the numbers you were looking at was not a “daily update” but only the “number since the last update” which is only half a day?
