In Lake County, there have been about 40 new cases over the last week. About 4 of those cases were admitted to the hospital, and no deaths

Florida has some problems reporting it's COVID numbers. It turns out several counties reported over 100% of the population is vaccinated. I think one even reported 200% vaccinated. And they are not going to look into why or what. Some are guessing it is snow birds and/or vacationers getting vaccinated here, and they got reported as residents.

Most times, the simple explanation is the correct one...

And who cares? Can we get past this or should you start reporting Flu and RSV cases too? If you are vaccinated you have nothing to worry about. Move on.

Martin, you wouldn't happen to have a link to that juicy statistic would you? Or did you hear it in the barber shop? You certainly wouldn't post a unsupported false rumor. I'm looking for data showing several reported over 100% [is that had one shot or fully vaccinated] and one county over 200% or nearly so

Our eldest daughter has a common cold at the moment.
Swears it's 10 times worse than when she had Covid!

That's good for her.

Over 1,000 people died from Covid yesterday; for them it was something more than 10 times worse than the common cold.

I try not to post false information, I a certainly willing to admit when I am wrong - are you?

The report was by the PlamBeachPost.com, which is behind a paywall, so not not something I heard someone say.

Sorry to disappoint you.

That is the assumption made by the article, at PalmBeachPost.com.

And now we hear all the same posts we have heard for years. Oh well. Sorry to stir the pot. I should have known better.

What happens if you test pos with a home test and isolate for 5 days. This never gets reported. So, stats are all messed up. Plus hospitals get extra money for reporting Covid, even though someone came in for something else.

Stats are always all messed up with pandemic's. The is STILL a running debate on the numbers for the Spanish Flu.

That doesn't mean they are wrong, it just means they are the best that we can come up with, based on maybe things, like people not being diagnosed, and people having co-morbidity, etc. etc. etc.

Science isn't perfect, but it is better than the alternative.
