1600 more cases yesterday and 2470 today. Only a hundred more dead. Good times.

Just as a point of reference for folks, before Covid arrived in March about 525 Floridians dropped dead every single day, as the Sunshine State's share of the 7,800 Americans who drop dead every day. After the last Covid vaccine is administered, 525 Floridians will still drop dead every day.

Death happens. Especially when you are in your 70's and 80's and 90's and living in Del Boca Vista.

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid. Florida has been opening more and more, including the theme parks and cases have consistently dropped since they’ve been open. It’s a good time here!

Why would you post anything so absolutely and completely untrue...

Phase 2 was to open bars and restaurants and gyms and theaters and amusement parks to 50%.

Florida's been trying for months to get their stats low enough to go to phase 3, which is virtually everything open completely.

Florida may be the worst example of how to fight a global pandemic. Deaths from Covid-19 per million are about double California's and cases per million are the second highest in the US.

Just to be clear, if we're talking states vs. states, Florida is definitely not the worst example.

Florida ranks 16th in deaths per 1 Million state residents, and has death rates one half to one third of those of the worst states who bungled their Covid response. California is lower than Florida, and mid-pack at 26th in deaths per 1 Million among the fifty states.

From worst to best as of Tuesday, September 22nd....

1. New Jersey 1,823 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
2. New York 1,706 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
3. Massachusetts 1,341 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
16. Florida 625 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
26. California 382 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
49. Wyoming 85 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
50. Alaska 62 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents


And as another interesting point of reference, since many US states are as big or bigger than many European countries, here's how a few European countries currently stack up against the USA as a whole, and various US states like New York, Florida, California, Wyoming...

Belgium 871 Covid Deaths Per 1 Million Residents (highest death rate in Europe, but half New York's rate)
United Kingdom 629 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents (closest analogy to Florida's rate)
United States 627 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
Sweden 576 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
France 469 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
Ireland 370 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents
(closest analogy to California's rate)
Austria 87 Deaths Per 1 Million Residents (closest analogy to Wyoming's rate)

lol. Wyoming and Alaska don't even have a million residents.

Like a grand cycle the useless, distorted statistics are back. Don’t worry if you get cancer folks! People who don’t have cancer never die from cancer.

Yeah, we've been through this before when you posted the same thing. It doesn't matter the history when trying to decide what to do right now, it matters what's happening now. When we went through this last time, California was in the top ten of states with cases per capita. Since then, CA has gotten a lot better. So, good for you all. Keep doing well.

Could work but also could just make it worse. Look at Downtown Disney when that opened. Disneyland is going to get swarmed by so many people. In California theirs 40 million people. 1/40th of the entire state is a Disney annual passholder. And it doesn't matter if there are reservations or not. I can already see people just waiting outside the gates hoping they get in because they didn't reserve a date.
And yet, not a single confirmed case from Downtown Disney and Disney needs to make it clear not to show up without a reservation.

I guess so since you conveniently chose to leave out the number of cases per million, which is the second highest in the US. :rolleyes:

That people who don’t have a disease don’t die from it is a pointless and irrelevant fact.

Well, the death rate per 1 Million residents is a widely used statistic on how to measure the impact on a population.

But do you want to do Confirmed Case Fatality Rate, because that's very interesting too?!? Especially now that the United States is about to cross the 100,000 Million Covid tests completed today (USA! USA!), and we are now conducting almost 1 Million tests per day going forward. I'll also throw in our four example states for ongoing reference...

1. Italy 10.5 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 11.88%
2. Mexico 1.6 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 10.52%
3. United Kingdom 22.4 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 10.36%
4. Belgium 2.9 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 9.62%

New York State 10 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 6.84%
8. France 10 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 6.71%
9. Sweden 1.5 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 6.56%
53. United States 99.5 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 2.90%

Florida 5.1 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 1.95%
California 13.8 Million Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 1.91%
Wyoming 150,000 Tests Completed, Confirmed Case Fatality Rate 0.98%

Nice job Florida!

Well, Florida has tested just over 25% of its state population thus far. But you'd need to assume that all of those positive tests are going to cause the death rate to go upwards, but the death rate in Florida is trending downwards.

The death rate per 1 Million residents is quite telling, isn't it? I mean, this whole mess was to try and save lives, was it not?

I think the Florida vs. New York thing is so interesting because they are closely matched in size of population; New York has 19.5 Million and Florida has 21.5 Million.

As of today, 33,138 New Yorkers have died with Covid, and 13,241 Floridians have died with Covid.

If New York had the same death rate as Florida, only about 12,000 New Yorkers would have died with Covid by now. But if Florida had the same death rate as New York, over 35,000 Floridians would already be dead with Covid.

So tell me why we are bagging on Florida again? I mean, I can make fun of the Sunshine State and how they operate Walt Disney World just as much as the next Disneyland fan, but Covid? There are lots of states with a far more deadly approach to that disease who saw a lot more of their citizens die with it.

And when you consider that Florida has an average age above the US average and notably higher than New York or California, and the vast majority of deaths from Covid are over age 65, that says quite a bit. 80% of Covid related deaths have been over age 65 in the United States. 80%!!

Average Age of Florida Resident = 42.2
Average Age of United States Resident = 38.2
Average Age of New York Resident = 39.0
Average Age of California Resident = 36.8

And again, if the Covid death rates are "useless" to you, that's cool. But they certainly aren't distorted. The statistics and facts are simply the statistics and facts.

I can get McDonalds right now, I don't have to go in to get it.
If you are truck driver you would, except in many places you can't and if the truck drivers can't eat, we can't get our food, so there's that.
