DeSantis does not fall into athlete or kid of big donor. He used his GI bill funds and scholarships to attend.
in his case, it's either pettiness or too far down the Trump rabbit hole that's caused his stupidity.
Thanks both. I really ought to do a bit more reading to check but I'm 99 percent sure the 3 percent figure was seen in a number of countries and none of them had significantly overwhelmed systems.
It's possible the at florida is way way younger with infections... But I'm not sure it's that much difference to have half the fatality rate.
If it helps, I think even the US and even florida is still reporting all deaths, so in a few months it will be "easy" to look at excess deaths above an average.
It was the BBC and a University did to compare different European countries. In the UK we've had 44k official covid deaths and 60k excess deaths. I think nearly every country has a "miss factor" where excess deaths are higher than covid official deaths but our UK one was particularly bad.
I've always taken everything happening with this seriously, but the exact moment I remember being hit with the sobering reality that it was much worse than I could've imagined was when I was in a car going up the FDR Drive in NYC in late April or so, and if you looked across the East River at the coast of Randall's Island, there was nothing but those trucks lined up by the dozens acting as makeshift morgues.
It's fucking wild to me that no one took what happened here in NYC as a warning.
Death rates are not going to be an important metric once this is all over, when the lung/heart/brain damage starts to become more apparent.
What percentage of people with COVID-19 don't develop symptoms?
That's not known. Widespread testing in Vò, Italy, found that well over half of approximately 3,400 people who tested positive never showed symptoms. In other studies, the number of asymptomatic people has ranged from five per cent to 80 per cent. One difficulty is that some people who are asymptomatic when they test positive later develop symptoms.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep. You may not die now, but you can die from a heart attack or stroke in a couple of months.
After all these years school is for fools will finally ring true
The MLS tournament has been going since last week and they got there earlier to train, etc. I think this concern over the location of the NBA's "bubble" is overblown tbh. As long as the players stay in the bubble it's sort of moot where it's at. If they leave the bubble, they're at risk anywhere.
I am sure there a thousand unknowns at this point.
And like many have pointed out there can be a lag in death from the virus. But it does seem like more people are recovering (for many reasons, one of which might include that the treatment is getting more effective).
Call me skeptical but I somehow doubt most of these infections are young people when FL is the oldest state in the country, demographically.
So was up in North FL, we decided to take a trip to get away so we rented a cabin in the woods away from everyone to vacation by ourselves safely. Course we had to stop for gas and such on the way to and from, but in Central and North FL, I was amazed to see gas stations full of people not wearing masks, even though there is signs saying "masks required" on the door, about 60% of the folks going in and out had no masks on, those that did wear, many wore them wrong not covering their noses of course. And even many with staff with no masks on either. Places we just stopped by but didn't even enter, we can see ton of people are just not giving any fucks about this.
Then I see online a big comic con is happening next weekend in Jacksonville. We are so fucked

You traveled to north Florida. You don't get to tsk tsk others.
Hiding out in the woods in a cabin felt safer than going to Disney
How the hell is Collective Con still happening in Jacksonville next weekend? Granted it's not super huge but still, wtf? Isn't Jacksonville still in the top three areas for virus growth in the entire country?
Come take a picture with the green ranger and maybe possibly die!

Yeah if they don't leave they are good. I know Disney World is right in the middle of it but they are in the safest location. Disney will do whatever they can to make sure it is safe.
Legacy admissions are actually slightly better qualified than the rest of the student population. Of course, there are exceptions. And there are plenty of people who don't get in that wouldn't have a problem with the coursework.
But this is the expected result because being legacy means one or both of your parents graduated Harvard. Leaving aside whether this is likely to actually make you more intelligent (nothing is guaranteed), it does almost always mean that your family is more financially secure than the average. It means you have parents that have actually applied to Harvard, been accepted, graduated, and then did well enough to donate in the first place. You are starting with a ton of advantages.
We need to get out of the mindset that school reputation makes you smart. Ivy Leagues and the likes alumni are so successful because of the networks, a tremendous amount of them are fucking dumb as rocks.
That would be the case if everyone inside the bubble was staying in the bubble but hotel employee's working in the bubble are not staying in the bubble so it doesn't matter if the players leave the virus can still get in.
Jacksonville and much of North FL is hardcore red territory and they don't give a damn. So many people not wearing masks, stores up there were not even requiring any type of covering and no enforcement.
In Miami where masks are mandatory outside your home, there are still a good 30 to 40% of people who don't wear them.
Truly, Trump's election and the behavior of people during covid have wiped out an enormous amount of faith in mankind for me.
What is needed is for severe enforcement by cops. Big fines and jailing people without masks.

Joggers are exempt. Not sure about bikes but I assume they're exempt too.
We're kind of having a thing with cops these days. I don't know if calling the cops for mask compliance is going to save lives or kill more.
Pretty much. Once surge capacity has been reached and there are no more hospital beds (which either has already happened or will be happening very soon) then you will see a large spike in deaths. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time.
My bad. I forgot american cops love using their guns and strangling people of color to death.
NYC already proved that cops literally only ticketed black people and white people were left alone. It's unfortunate because I do agree people need to be slapped on the wrist for it. To bad our law enforcement is a fucking joke
Florida breaks another single-day coronavirus record with more than 15,000 cases
TALLAHASSE, Fla. (WPEC) – Florida shattered another coronavirus record Sunday morning, adding 15,300 new cases with 45 additional deaths. According to the latest data, the state total of coronavirus cases stands at 269,811 with a total of 4,346 deaths. That is an increase in the death toll of...cbs12.com
Well this seems a lot worse than New York now, my goodness
Well New York actually started taking it seriously. Florida still isn't. Not surprising. Would have been more surprising if they were doing ok.
The state needs serious new leadership. At least in Broward and Dade counties we have our code enforcement officials going around tossing around fines and actually closing places down who are fucking up. Several places have had their licensed revoked too. They need to do this state wide.
Imagine saying we're not communist China as we're getting close to 140,000 deaths after 4 months of tracking.
Some other numbers
-112,264 tests
-11.51% positive rate
Well at least the positive rate is starting to trend down. Its an insane amount of tests the past couple of days.
