Orlando super spreader event
 

Watched news this morning and noticed streets down town Orlando was full of Halloween party goers last night. Shoulders to shoulders packing streets and businesses. Some had masks and lots didn’t. I sure this probably when on in every major city. This virus not going to slow down or end IMO for very long time. People just can’t stay apart.

We have believers and nonbelievers. Disney just announced another 11,000 + at their complex in Orlando. With less testing infection rate hits 8%.

Disney World just reported laying off 11,000 workers. They didn't report 11,000 Covid cases. :shrug:

Corrected thank you

What a shame people are enjoying their freedom of assembly and actually having fun .. Get thee to a Nunnery !!

Except not as important or nearly patriotic.

I haven't seen any uptick in cases here. Have any of you? It has been now nine days since the rally here.

Careful, wouldn’t want to muddy things up with facts...😂😂😂

Using the measures presented the same description of crowds applies at the squares in TV....but that does not carry a political bent therefore not the same like riots and demonstrations are not super spreader assignation worthy!

This thing is not going to get under control until we have an effective vaccine and the infrastructure to vaccinate in huge quantity

The experts told us in April, that when warm weather came that would have a great impact on dissolving Covid. That didn’t make any sense as warm climates had outbreaks. Now many countries are going through an uptick. Will there be flu and common colds this year. I hear they may be lumped into Covid cases. Now I hear that different strains of Covid will make their debuts making the vaccine non effective in many cases. I suppose we just must realize these folks just don’t know. The media reports and makes up some juicy stories as if they enjoy listening to themselves!

I’ve seen an uptick in cases in Sumter starting on the 29th, a week after the event. That day we had 37 cases, most of which were over age 65. Usually when Sumter reports that big of number they are younger, and tend to be cases from the correctional facility in Bushnell. Even today they reported 13 cases, which sounds low until you realize the cases reported the last few Sundays were 0 and 7. We don’t test much on Saturdays...

Hospitalizations ticked up a little, but not much. The day of the rally Sumter had 10 hospitalizations, today they have 12.

I watched closely but did not see any upticks a week after the squares opened which surprised me. So they are handling the squares pretty safely.

All of this could be a coincidence, as We are lagging the State of Florida’s numbers a bit. They started going up several days before the county did.

“Live free or die”is the state motto of New Hampshire. Here in Florida it’s “live free then die.” Oh well.

Facts prove younger people do not have any serious reaction from covid 70 years plus should consider their wellbeing first . We all have free will enjoy your life.

150 deaths sounds like a serious reaction.

The new favorite quote, “super spreader event”! Wow, have only heard that 47 times this week....smdh...really people need to put down the TV remote and slowly back away...go outside and breathe in some fresh air, clear the stale from your head...

Not sure about the positive covid. numbers ! My friend got tested 5 times till he got a negative! If many do this the numbers may be skewed! Many keep getting tested twice a week till negative so they can go back to work or even go to grocery store. No one talks about this. And most positive many only have symptoms mild !

There is an increase in cases, about 23, I think.

Lol yes banks welcome mask now! But we don’t know who’s got the pretty smile!

It still amazes me that some people don't take this virus seriously. I agree with you Stu! It's called common sense it should not be political.

Yet every single time someone gets tested it's counted. Yes, still, that's happening. That's how they count cases. That one person who gets tested 5X's---it's counted each of those times. That's what a doctor (on t.v.) said. IF they'd count the actual person "with" Covid (and not every time they're tested) then we "might" have accurate numbers. I can't believe how the fear is still so prevelent along with paranoia.

Being outside appears to be relatively safe.

The regular flu has been here for 102 years. We can't get rid of it. Just live your life and pray that therapeutics get better. 99.85% that get it survive. Thank you China.

Thank you, that is exactly what’s going on and you don’t believe the numbers are correct at all...just spewing out test results, not the amount of people who are actually taking them...also the tests are NOT always accurate on top of it...I personally know those who have had inaccurate results and some multiple times...it’s all a political game...I believe it exists, but believe it’s very inaccurate reporting...

Guess no one is paying attention to the US corrected number of COVID 19 deaths. What a shame. One network continues with the scare game.

I think I'll sit at home & worry about it, maybe have a stroke & die from that.

I did not see report, however I’ll bet mostly younger crowd having a good time. It’s better they do it a like this then burning down stores and intimidating citizens trying to enjoy a meal.
Only in TV will they limit the size of crowds in squares and mandate masks, etc.
Rule for thee, not for me.

Here are the daily positivity rates (rounded to nearest whole number) in Sumter County since October 19, according to the FL Department of Health:

6, 5, 4, 9, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 8, 14, 4

Let's see. The Trump event was 10 days ago, the Pence event a week before that and the latest number of daily cases in TV as reported in TV daily news was 5. Doesn't look like super spreader events to me.

Doesn’t break down the numbers for inmates, and staff. The prison is included in the stats

Unless you can tell how many of those "increases" attended the rally, your numbers are meaningless.

You are correct. Can anyone post the data for just the Villages if it exists? And let us know where we can track the Villages' statistics daily. Thanks.

Media gets an Oscar for working the crowd. It will work it’s way through the population of the world, like it or not, even in remote areas, it is showing up. Luckily, they know more about it and how to treat it. Vaccine will not be very effective in the near future, so, if you plan to hibernate, it will be a looooooong time before you can dance in the squares. More room for the rest of us!

What I can't get over is criticizing the President's rallys and calling them super spreaders, but yet no one mentions the hundreds of people rioting and looting in groups. That's ok? As far as the squares go, if you have underlying conditions and are leery, stay home. The scientists say outside and social distancing are ok. If you take the proper precautions, go live your life.

Bottom line, official numbers for Florida on 11-2-2020 do the math, 307,000 cases, 16,700 deaths. 2% Death rate and dropping. Dear God people, vaccine or no vaccine just use common sense. If you feel nervous or frightened because of your health then stay home. For those of us who are not frightened or nervous we are going on with our lives. I won’t criticize you and I would hope you wouldn’t judge me. Life is a risk. I’m ready to move on and return activities as they were. I’ll see everyone at the square and the pools and will not hesitate to shake your hand.

Get thee to the infirmary!

I really don't care about test results, hospitals overflowing around the world due to COVID cases is another story.

But, they may spread it to someone who may have serious reactions and they don’t have to be old.

NOT so! ALL the reputable Doctors say that CV could be controlled if 95% of the people would S I M P L Y wore their MASKS 95% of the time. SO SIMPLE! A vaccine MAY or may NOT work and be the great saving grace that most people HOPE that it will be. They say that HOPE is NOT a strategy. Here we have a SIMPLE, realistic, factual technique that is proven to work - namely a mask MANDATE and the US is such a disorganized and confused-by-leadership Country that the citizens of this spectacular - now once-great-country are happily throwing it into the toilet - and for WHAT???? For WHO???? Not for GOD! - not for any teachings of Jesus Christ! Please think about that as you walk among the multitudes, maskless and spreading your droplets of DEATH - WHILE WEAKENING the US and playing into the hands of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, China, Russia, and other Dictatorships that HATE you and the freedom you enjoy in the US.

Freedom comes with a price. In WWII and other wars the price was young solder's lives. Today the price is ONLY a simple wearing of a mask to save America and Americans won't pay that price. Note that the smarter countries like Canada, S. Korea, Australia, New Zealand, even China, and Germany are only too happy and SMART to pay that price. So go ahead American patriots in TV Land, be UNWITTING DUPES of Putin. Be TRAITORS to America. I warned you, I did my part!
