False. Numbers are completely inaccurate.

when I was diagnosed with a very aggressive and unpredictable form of cancer back in 1990 and given an 11% chance...I focused in on all the numbers, the averages, the statistics, trying to out-guess what the doctors were telling me and beat the odds... was driving me crazy. Then one day I realized that the only statistic, the only numbers that really meant ANYTHING to me were my own...that made all the difference. I took control back.

you wanna beat the odds...play it safe...we all know exactly what to do...stop letting the media and all these conflicting reports get to you....you don't know how much of it is accurate anyway...so take control back

how's that song go, don't worry, be happy....(but play it safe)

Then there was the guy in Fl that died from a motorcycle accident listed as a covid-19 death.

It would be helpful if you provided any positive ideas that you have regarding this virus

My positive idea is you have the power of choice. You can stay home, isolated, as long as you care. I have no problem with that. You can also choose to not stay home but reconnect with the world at your own risk. I have no problem with that as long as you have the courtesy to wear a mask when inside a store or in areas where you cannot maintain a six foot distance from others.
You also have the power to decide "the bug ain't gonna get me", and live life with wild abandon. I WILL have a problem with that if come near me but I will thank you for volunteering to help us reach herd immunity faster.

My take is that the purpose is to convey to those who refuse to wear masks that Florida is heading toward another lock down if people do not do their part to slow the spread of the virus. It happened to California and it can happen here too.

I have been saying all along that if we do not do our part to slow the virus, our economy is not going to recover. "Our part" meaning wear a mask in public when social distancing is not guaranteed. I have never been a proponent of mask wearing OUTDOORS when it is easy to distance yourself. Wearing a mask INDOORS is imperative, IMHO, when you are unable to distance yourself from others.

I agree with your last paragraph. I do not agree that Cali should have shut down. You will never get everyone there to follow "rules".

What this is all about is that many here do not want to wear a mask and are looking for any excuse to down play the situation so they can justify it in their own mind because they know that freedom does NOT include a right to put others in harm’s way. I think I will continue to believe the real experts, first responders, etc. instead of the self-appointed mefirster experts on this site.

Spin what data? I posted none but asked a simple question, "why post doom and gloom?" I also made no comment pro or con about masks. There are many experts out there and one constant is that there is no constant on where we are today.
