What “Super Spreader” event?
 

Interesting how the news media tells us what to think. We all heard about how the recent rally in The Villages would be another Super Spreader event. “Peaceful protests” were okay according to the media, but rallies were Super Spreaders. Now that more than two weeks have passed since the rally and there has been no surge of new cases, you have heard nothing more from the media. The media sells fear to promote their agenda. They tell you what you should believe. And because they package it as “news” people accept it as fact.

The election is over. (supposedly)

The human mind has evolved to reacted strongly to danger as opposed to pleasure for survival, so in a commercial enterprise, what do you expect? However, if want to be critical you can certainly pick a day length but I prefer to look positively that epidemics come in waves, and I am hoping that the pattern of super spreader events that aren’t producing increase in hospitalizations is a positive sign in our adaptability and improved medical outcomes.

:bigbow:

We still don't know everything about this virus. It can sometimes take longer for the spread to show up. The Sturgis biker rally is a good example. That area is really bad. For such a remote state, this can be the only reason why it's so bad right now.

Just be thankful The Villages is not like South Florida YET. Fortunately we do not have the same demographics.

Huh?

Hospitals are starting to overflow across the country?

Where are you getting that “news” from? Here is a link to the CDC site showing the percentage of occupied ICU beds across the USA. These numbers fall into the same normal range as you would have without the Coronavirus.

Another example of main stream media spreading false information as facts...

The weather now in FL is less conducive for virus spreading. which is great, more outdoor life, less air conditioning and indoor activities. Up North in New England, a week long church event put a couple dozen people in the hospital as well as some ice hockey games. And the hospitalizations are starting to rise without any super spreader events, due to more conducive weather for spreading, drier air and indoor activities. In TV, I would expect less hospitalization rates now through April than during the summer.

@swoop - that's just part of the hospitalization data, ICU, covid also takes up acute care beds, where most people go first, which added on top of normal acute care bed usage, is overflowing the hospitals. . . So your story isn't the complete picture either, cherry picking facts.

The poster stated that hospitals were “starting to overflow across the country”. You also indicated that same sentiment. Show me that data. Not a news report or an article. Not a single anomaly. The actual un-manipulated data to support that.

Selling fear and manipulating people.... in spades, you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Don't care what your party, get smart people, our very thoughts are being shaped by yahoo, Facebook, one line addiction, cell phone addiction, and cable TV. Maybe it's time for high schools to put Animal Farm BACK on the mandatory list and BTW, thinking and logical thinking CAN be taught ! All day long on TV, Fluzone QUAD, 4 times strength for seniors and FREE FOLKS, FREE. Not much said about 30% effectiveness ! ? Investigate, question, you don't have to live as a cynical person just because you are cautious and careful, but remember, many people do not like people who ask detailed questions concerning anything: purchasing a car, cell phone, computer, or asking too many technical questions at all many times ! LOL !

Be careful, people want "facts" , but not too many facts; especially if they are not useful to supporting their opinion ! :bigbow:
He who speaks the WHOLE truth you know...... not a popular guy ?

bingo !

"Selling fear and manipulating people.... in spades"


Some people are exceedingly accomplished at doing this.
