(51,042 posts)Florida is in big trouble. That number is 5 to 14 days behind the date of exposure. That means that there are 5 to 14 more days in which cases increase at these levels every day before we see results from anything initiated TODAY. And he's not initiating anything today or any time soon.

This thing doesn't play games. This thing is a factory of pain and misery and death. And they are STILL not taking it seriously enough to slow it down.

My heart is breaking for all the people in these states with leaders who don't give a shit if they live or die. Who are willfully sending them to their deaths. And for the people who are just too dumb or gullible to protect themselves.
This was all avoidable. This is the saddest thing I have ever seen.

(5,544 posts)Go here and click on the second tab and there is a graph showing steady testing. The only thing going up is the percentage positive.
Click on the 5th tab and it shows emergency visits with covid-like illnesses going up very similar to the documented cases.

And that number won't include deaths attributed to "respiratory failure".
That is how the PTB play fast and easy with the statistics.

(11,949 posts)My boss is a republican. Granted he sat out the last presidential election. Voted for neither.
But we found out a late 40s guy we both know is in ICU with Covid. Viral Pneumonia in both lungs. No outstanding healthcare issues we know of.
My boss is real worried. He and his wife are in their 60s. And voting for Joe.
Hes not the only republican I know who are scared and voting for Joe. That said I dont know any of the religious nuts. Well, except my extended family. They are hopeless.
