Obviously he doesn't think black lives matter. Thats the only acceptable answer to why people think its bad to riot and loot.
The Idiots of the Reopen: Florida MAGA Trash Government Welcomes 10k New Covid Cases in 1 Day.
- Thread starter fried-chicken
- Start date
Damn, Florida really got 2,600 new cases today?
You're just going to let it burn then I guess. Good luck.

60% of new cases are young adults. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the protests. Probably those pesky young people getting haircuts or going to the beach.
We always knew there would be an uptick when things opened up. The protests probably just made the numbers higher than they would have been. Either way, as long as the hospitals aren't overrun I don't care. You can't stop the inevitable, you can only delay it.
Are you now pretending to care? Protesting is more important than thousands of unnecessary additional deaths, remember?
Well the one area where police are now gone is run by men with AR 15's and they have built a wall. Change is good I guess.
You're going to get the Wuhan flu. Just accept it.
Theres a good chance that you develop lasting complications after catching it. Permanently losing lung function. Blood clots. Blue toes. We havent seen far enough out but these changes likely increase health risks for the rest of your life.
I have a choice on the matter. I may get it, but I'm not going to get it while shopping for a product that I can buy on Amazon.
Florida, what the hell are yall doing? Since we opened back up you went from 600 cases per day on a 7 day average to 2400 cases per day.
Yall not wearing masks or what? If you keep going at this pace youll be at new york peak levels of daily cases in a month.

The 250% increase from 2 weeks ago is solely due to more testing...and the BLM protests.
I don’t really think it’s solely the protests but I agree they aren’t helping. Someone on here was posting about the testing increases also accounting for some of the increase, though I do think it’s spreading. Just people getting lazy and careless in public.
posted in the other covid thread but one of the clusters that has led to a surge in positives in Orange and Seminole County allegedly came from Knights Pub
"Science is truth". Sorry Fauci, but last time I checked science was about FINDING the truth. Its a process, not a dogma.
Are you saying you know more than the chief scientist?
That would be the 1200 public health experts who signed on to support public gatherings as Fauci said he worries immensely that they will fuel another outbreak
Well his "truth" has changed directions a few times so I have a hard time calling it such.
I know Faux News relentlessly bashed Fauci for a while, but what statements has Fauci made (direct quotes) that indicate his “truth changes”? I’m curious.
99.88% of doctors didn't say that. Is that better?
There are 10 million doctors and 1.1 reside in the USA. Better? Point remains that 1200 is a tiny fraction of a percent.
Lol. He's has been right on plenty. He's also been wrong from time to time. I think I will take what he and other medical experts say seriously.
The percentage is small. Like the percentage who think vaccines cause autism. Like the percentage of scientists who don’t believe in anthropogenic global warming or believe the world is flat.
Looking at the #s, the confirmed positives have gone up, but death rates are down. In Fla we are doing 4x the test we were 6 to 8 weeks ago. That tells me the majority of the increase is simply an effect of testing. you add in the protest, and on space coast the big launch 3 weeks ago and you can explain almost all of it. I agree the reopen has an effect as well, But I tend to think it is not a huge part of it. The vast majority of people are still doing a reasonable job of distancing.
The percent positive is increasing though. And adverse outcomes like hospitalizations and deaths lag actual cases. Though I don’t expect deaths will shoot up too much as we now have a better familiarity with it and treatment methods that can be effective. Also the spike in cases (to this point) has been mostly amongst people at lower risk for bad complications. Several outbreaks amongst younger people at bars.
Most of the reopen is fine. Reopening bars and indoor restaurant seating is stupid.
Also pneumonia deaths are up like 500% year over year.
Im sure thats a coincidence.
But yeah, deaths are down.

Im also living my life. Just not doing dumb shit.Cool...you can stay at home for two years waiting on a vaccine. I'm leaving living my life. Actually in a hotel now.
I think Memorial day weekend also played a big part in uptick. People were out in droves for the first time in months. Restaurants are running at 50% capacity, Bars I tend to agree with, people drinking rarely make smart choices. Part of the hospital and death rates not going up much is, who is getting the virus. It is spreading mostly amongst those 20 to 45 years old, and that group has little problems beating it. I would argue, if you are afraid of a 2nd wave more of that group getting it over the summer is a good thing. If you could get to 25 to 35% herd immunity amongst that group, it would help with the spread over the fall and winter.
Flu shot is at best a 50 50 deal. They take a guess at which flu bugs are going to be worse and include 5 or so of them in the shot. If they guess right, it does a good job. if like 2 years ago, they guess wrong the #s really spike. With this bug a vaccine will be effective short term, but it is already making new strains, (one in Chicago) and vaccine won't be as good, or quite possibly any good for newer strains.
But at the end of the day its effective enough to reduce the reproductive rate of the virus low enough where herd immunity is reached when fewer than 1/5 have been infected. It’s not perfect but the flu vaccine prevents tens of thousands of deaths per year.
Not all counties report Monday. For those that do they are up 70% from the prior Monday report.
