COVID Case Update
 

As most Villagers know, The Villages spans through three different counties. Here are the number of new COVID cases as of Oct. 5, according to the CDC website. In Lake County, there have been about 74 new cases over the last week. About eight of those cases were admitted to the hospital, and about four

and how many new flu cases ?

About time someone asked about the flu. I was about ready to contact the Gazette myself but my wife was due home about that time so I about decided to postpone the call. I'm all about punctuality. Just about had it with these vague reports though. It is about time someone spoke up!

About 729 flu cases and more than six deaths. You can find that information here.

NOTE: IMPORTANT: Flu deaths are not reported as quickly as COVID deaths. The number is likely to rise as more death certificates are received.

NOTE 2: Flu season has not started yet.

The numbers that are quoted in the article are from CDC data from Sept 29th. The CDC states that "Note: The COVID-19 Community Level and associated metrics presented above are updated weekly on Thursday and may differ from the values for the same metrics presented below, which are updated daily." The CDC updates the data late in the day every Thursday. I found that it is best to check the CDC website on Friday mornings.

In addition, the data is the number of cases per 100k population and the number of hospitalization per 100K population.

Can we trust the CDC anymore?

Covid ? I thought that was finished.

Std
 

So, I wonder how many STD cases there are? We are rated as the highest in the nation. That should be taking priority I would think. Yes, it may not be life threatening, but that is a problem!

You must be confused with San Fransisco.
highest rated std cases in us - Google Search

:bigbow: I'd try to write a replay but I'm laughing so hard it's difficult to type ! "Trust", the "CDC".. nope, can't even type...

I've dated 7 men, 1 month each, since 2017. They don't want to be friends first - it's one of the most important things in a relationship. I told each one how I feel up front, and they say - "Me, too!" 1 month and I'm out. STILL, I choose to look at their good qualities, so I learn about the earth's inhabitants.
AND, for all 6 previous relationships...Aids test first

Scamdemic

Probably NONE among people who actually live in The Villages. They are rare here. A 100% increase may mean a month where there are two instead of one.

STDs AREN'T life-threatening?

Try explaining one to your spouse.

You go into the dr for a bruised knee it’s a covid stat. You break your arm, it’s a covid stat. Who cares about covid anymore?

Nope, being from N. east, 11 years ago, when I told the VA we were moving to Florida, and I mentioned The Villages I was informed the VA (Veterans Administration) reported the highest STD was in the Villages Fl. that the hospitals have to report. So, there you go, that's where it started from, the Village people getting treated from the VA hospital. So put it to rest!

Easy to claim on ToTV but can you provide any proof at all?

I care about COVID. I like the idea of my father, my wife, my extended family, and myself living a few more years. I REALLY don't want to one day look at the 400 deaths per day number and know that one of them was related to me.

I've provided links to that very thing, multiple times.

I forget the State (maybe Illinois), but the Sec Health stated that any patient death where the patient also had a positive covid test was counted as a covid death.

And the CDC stated that children who were admitted for "kid's problems", like a broken arm or appendicitis, and happened to test positive upon admission were counted as "covid admissions"...

1. That wasn't what I was disputing. The statement was "you go into the hospital with a busted knee.." I read that as no mention of COVID yet claimed it would be counted as a COVID stat. THAT I do not believe.

2. There are over 20 times as many people dying of non-COVID causes than of COVID. If the accusations of over counting of COVID deaths were all true then there should be a drop in other causes. Unfortunately, 4% spread across all other causes is really in the noise. Excess deaths in 2020 and 2021 have to be attributed to something and COVID was the worldwide issue during that time. (fortunately, while the data is not all in yet, deaths for 2022 seem to be down significantly)

Hi Gazette - please S-T-O-P!

That would have made sense 3 years ago. Sad post.

You are correct, and it won't change any minds. Almost 3 years now, and still "just another flu," fake death certificates because... just because ONE state made a stupid decision, it proves all states and all doctors and all hospitals all over the world are lying... ahem...

As always, minds are made up, people are still dying. I went through Bogata, Columbia, yesterday; they still take it very seriously - and have stiff penalties for things like not wearing a mask. I arrived in Ecuador today, and it is still taken seriously.

Sadly MOST of the COVID deniers do so based on politics and will scream bloody murder that is not true, But keep a record of the other posts made by the same people see who is denying the science and who is not.

When COVID first came to the US, I was one of the first to project the exponential growth showing at a minimum of 1 million deaths if serious steps were not taken, For 6 months the growth followed the exponential growth predictions the scientists were making, and yet, these same people said it was just another flu, no worse than the common flu. And I was branded as. fear monger.

Then the conspiracies started; someone here said the government was working with the Vaccine companies to inject tracking devices in you via the vaccine. Then another said that the vaccine was designed to destroy your immune system and everyone that got the vaccine was going to die from terrible diseases because their immune system was being destroyed.

On and on. Lots of common sense arguments... lots of conspiracies.

No point in arguing any more. Dark Ages V2.0 coming to a country really near you soon.

Are you part of the cancel culture? Just asking for a friend.

It's aboutism can there be a real staff editor or reporter that can fix all the ABOUT admitted and ABOUT deaths did Christ raise some from the dead?

As long as the same people keep taking the bait the "Gazette" will keep posting this weekly.

It's like Groundhog Day. :1rotfl:

Info only: Here is upper respiratory infection real world data from the BioFire, a syndromic molecular diagnostic instrument used in labs around the world.

BIOFIRE(R) Syndromic Trends

JMIR Public Health and Surveillance - Automated Real-Time Collection of Pathogen-Specific Diagnostic Data: Syndromic Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Not sure what your point is.This infection rate data only.

Everyone all over the world is wrong. But a few, very small few, here in the US know the real truth.

I specifically said "covid admission", when talking about children...

Check post #17. Unless you are posting under multiple names it wasn't you I was responding to. And if you *are* posting under multiple names you didn't mention "covid admission" in the particular post I was replying to in #17.

I was perfectly clear about who I was responding to and what I was saying.

Not my problem you're confused...

Not confused at all. Posts #17, #18, and #19 are all pretty clear.

Thanks for playing and have a good night.

From what I understand this ormicron variant is causing very few hospitalizations and deaths. The numbers are much different than the annual flu. I think that if that were the case with the first two variants it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. After what we went through in 2020 and 2021 just the mention of Covid sends some people into a panic. All Covid is not the same.

Previous guidance started the U.S. can safely return to a more normal way of life when the disease burden from Covid resembles common respiratory viruses such as the flu and RSV.

What does the recent data tell you?

The recent data tells me nothing. I am not a virologist or pandemic expert, so I will go with CDC, WHO, and the scientists our government picks to give recommendations. I will also assume that the recommendations can and will change over time and adjust what I do accordingly.

I was recently in Bogata, Columbia, and they have much stronger "recommendations," ahem, than here, and unlike some of the Americans I met there, I simply followed their rules while in their country. I know I am a sheep. The other Americans there, well, they Got Rights, damn it. Unfortunately, those "rights" have a cost associated with them.

I am now in Ecuador, and they have recommendations between the US and Colombia, and I follow the guidelines here. When I return the US next month, I will once again follow the advice there and the advice of my doctor.

I am tired of all the online "experts" drawing conclusions based on "THE DATA"

I was providing the proof you asked for from rsmurano, in post #17...

And you're welcome...
