Okay...a few things.....recall in FEBRUARY when we were told it was all under control, and would weaken by April ? (NOT by the Florida State Health Dept).....recall when we were told it would just leave and stop...nothing to worry about (NOT by the Florida State Health Dept)...recall when were told cases were going down (NOT by the Florida State Health Dept)...recall when we were told it was "fading away" ? (NOT by the Florida State Health Dept).. I could go on and on with all we have been told and confused with.....these came from the same source that tells us how others mislead by the way. Follow the money? Please explain that to me......detail on that. |

But, if it makes some on here feel better, we can all get together and do a chorus of "the sky is fallin'" |

We all know that we have far fewer days and months and years than we used to, but no one wants to die alone in a hospital. I don't want to die at all, and this damned Covid-19 is a big deal and a source of concern (not hysteria) for those who have treasured friends who matter to them and who are older too. We all have heard all the punchlines to the ribald jokes about how we want to die. Me? I'm not going to if I can avoid it right now. |

The fact is that more testing equals more positive test results. More testing does NOT equal more deaths or hospitalizations. Does anyone consider that? |
You forgot one.
They are too self centered to listen to the Dr. and stop being an ass. |
Simple facts (right?):
More testing has resulted in more positive results for infection. More testing has NOT resulted in more hospitalizations. More testing has NOT resulted in an increase in deaths. Simple redneck summary: The more test performed will increase the number of positive results for COVID infections. The more tested will NOT necessarily increase the number of hospitalizations, although those with serious symptoms hospitalized will increase the totality of those tested positive. The more tested positive reduces the ratio of deaths to infected. Therefore, if other countries increase their testing, they will see a decrease in the ratio of deaths per infected. Notice in this redneck calculation, I am not suggesting that deaths will decrease, just that the ratio of death to infected will decrease. Just numbers. Deaths are deaths and you can't change the raw number on that. In order to make a decent calculation of how this virus is working, you would have to test everyone at the same time, and then test everyone again at another time. If you test a hundred today and then a hundred thousand tomorrow, you will have a spike in positive tests.....likely, unless the virus suddenly disappears. The only sure statement of this virus is based on deaths, not tests and not infections. The only other stat that matters is how many hospitalizations, because if someone is infected does not mean they will be hospitalized. I've heard of folks being tested several times with negative results but have all the symptoms and many that have been tested many times with positive results with no symptoms. But, I have gone off the subject which is why some folks spread panic. |
You realize that over 302,000 people have been Diagnosed with Covid in Florida.
