It looks like the “cases” are positive tests. How many of them are actual sick people? And of those, how many are really ill or uncomfortable, and how many just feel tired or like they have a mild cold or diarrhea?
Because on any given day a number of people have mild illnesses and we don’t count them nor care. And if they test + and don’t feel the slightest bit sick, obviously the test is not giving us useful info.
Cases, or infections?
Yet, 70% of the cases have no symtoms and no illness. I bet these tests are giving many false positives.
Per CDC definition.
Cases = positive case + probable case
Positive case: includes past exposure to any coronavirus (not Covid-19)
Do your homework.
Was ny highest positives before the first week of April? If so, that was in the era with multi targets for positives. Thosse test would have been true positives..
Since then only a single target results in posives. We saw a local jump in positivity as well.. but we are doing triple the tests and a single target wull be positive.
Comparing pre April numbers to now is misleading.
“Case” sounds really dreadful. So is everyone a “case”. Let's deescalate the language and use the proper term; “people” or “persons”.
Journalists who use the word “case” are just self important “dicks”.
So?
Simple solution; give the patients HCQ and Zinc prescription and send them home, but do it within 24 hours of symptoms.
I’ll bet Florida broke the record for the most sunburn cases in a day, too.
This is ALL about the Republican Convention due in a few short weeks in Jacksonville.....
...
MS numbers been jumping too - Blame the Red Cross - they are using free testing as a way to get donors to flock to them. Even with appointments folks are stacked up for hours.
This is about the election. Focus is on three red states Dems want to flip blue. Florida, Texas and Arizona. Florida data is being sensationalized the most to disrupt the RNC Convention.
It is all a fraud. 33 labs generating 100% positive results and about a dozen more that were generating 98-99% positive results; even on people that were not tested.
At least in Miami-Dade county, everyone must wear a mask when they’re outside,
Yet your numbers are “exploding”...what does that tell you?
Its a lot of smoke and mirrors still.
I would BET that they also broke a record for TESTING. If we were to start testing I.Q.s at the same rate that we are testing for the kong flu, we would suddenly be overrun with idiots.
Whoopie!
1) Are they sick?
2) Outside of the feeble and weak, has anyone died?
A case is defined as someone who tests positive. In normal English, a case is someone who is SICK and under treatment for a disease. This misuse of the meaning of the word is intentional.
A cv19 death is defined as someone who dies, and who tested positive for cv19.
A hospitalization is defined as someone who is in the hospital, and who tests positive for cv19.
Also, the absolute number of “cases” is a useless number. A better number to give would be the ratio of “cases” to the population. I know that half of Americans give up reading at the word “ratio,” but too bad for them.
