Weekly numbers In Florida are in and it's a disaster
- Thread starter Concart
- Start date
A massive 300 percent hike in nationwide COVID-19 deaths recorded Friday by Johns Hopkins University was skewed by states dumping data – that in one case dated back as far as last spring, according to a report.
The university, which has been a trusted source of coronavirus information since the start of the pandemic, reported that US deaths surged from 321 on Thursday to 891 on Friday, as the Delta variant quickly spreads throughout much of the country.
Florida was responsible for a huge chunk of the increase, with 409 of Friday’s death toll coming from that state, according to The Daily Mail. However, Florida only releases weekly data on Friday, making the day-to-day totals reported by the university unclear and overblown, the outlet said.
Figures released by Delaware also added to the surging daily increase, as that state announced 130 new deaths Friday, the tabloid reported. The dramatic figure was misleading because those deaths actually occurred between mid-May 2020 and late last month, and were added after The First State reviewed death certificates, according to the article.
Data from Michigan, which only releases statistics biweekly, also reportedly added to the distorted total.
The true day-to-day increase of nationwide COVID-19 deaths was actually only 2.5 percent, according to the outlet.

Hello memorygal,
The goal is to shut down the pandemic. Why there is any debate on this is evidence of mass delusion.
The obsession with money over life is evident.
Money is replaceable. Life is not.
Basic priority.
Why is this not clear?

socialists dont understand that. get the government to send out checks. problem solved
lol cute attempt at humor, but it's a baseless charge
60% of business closures due to the coronavirus pandemic are now permanent, that money lost is not being replaced
What replaced the pay checks (money) people lost due to this?
Why did people get behind on rent, they had no money to replace what was lost due to not being able to work!!!!

In other words, the government's job is finished. Everyone who can safely get the vaccine has been able to get it for some time. Meanwhile, Cuomo will continue to be a retard and an incompetent buffoon.

The one thing the government can do is to not actively discourage the vaccine hesitant people from changing their minds. So, naturally, the CDC wants the vaccinated to start masking again.

Da gubmint is supposed to get out of the way of people conducting business.
Nope. It's hilarious that you whine about politicizing the virus, as you politicize the virus. The CDC is recommending masks for the vaccinated (the unvaccinated always should have been masking up, but they don't because they are selfish assholes) because the vaccinated can become infected and spread the virus. But if you'd rather we didn't, I'd be happy to oblige.
gubmint can regulate..the lockdowns though are not regulating -they are governors acting foolishly
I do not understand rightys crying about masks. The medical profession uses them and they work. It is not asking a lot. The fact that you have been convinced they do not work, is not the point. There are millions who actually believe the doctors and medical organizations are correct. That is accepting science logic and common sense. We do not give right-wing gnus the same weight.
Defiantly refusing to wear a mask is childish. It is a very easy thing to do. It is not expensive and not painful. Just showing respect to your fellow citizens is not a weakness. Companies are demanding masks from employees and customers.
Not wearing a mask when asked is defiantly stupid and uncaring.

You are not alone. I don't understand it either.
The medical profession uses them without fail. You'd think that would tell people something, but noooooo.
I've found this pandemic has shown the true colors of many people, many are both ignorant and selfish.
Of course masks work. Confident with my vaccine and with the change in guidelines I went maskless since two weeks after my second vaccine
on May 1, 2021. I had not had a cold in two years before that. And just got my first nasty cold. I was normally good for two or three colds per year.

So the CDC is admitting that the vaccination doesn't work, yet they want everyone to be vaccinated. Paradox V.
The CDC is also admitting that masks don't work. You need to get vaccinated. Yet they want everyone to wear a mask. Paradox M.

Because they are uncomfortable, expensive, and can harbor bacteria if used for long periods. They are also completely ineffective against a virus.
They don't use them to protect themselves from a virus. They are utterly useless for that.
You obviously feel your mask does not work because you are afraid of someone infected, yet you want everyone else to wear a mask say they work. Which is it, dude?
You are making a paradox, not a point. Paradox M.
Many doctors do not recommend the use of masks against covid19. What about them?
You deny them all. Arguing both sides of a paradox is irrational. It is not science. It is not logic. It is not 'common sense'. It is irrational.
Arguing both sides of a paradox is irrational. You're the LAST one to call anyone 'childish'.
Paradox M.
It is expensive. It can be painful. It can cause you to have problems with fungus and bacteria. It makes it hard for people to understand you when you talk. You look like an illiterate hypochondriac.
My fellow citizens are not wearing masks. Neither am I.
I don't do business with such idiots. They lose my business.
Wearing a mask is stupid and uncaring. They are utterly useless against a virus.
Paradox M. No argument presented. Chanting.
