Florida Reaches Grim Coronavirus Milestone: More Than 200,000 Cases As Hospitalizations Increase

Getting closer to herd immunity each day

Immunity only lasts a couple of months with COVID-19.

Same reason a vaccine won't work.

How many dead per 1 million? That's the only comparison number that matters.

All those snowbirds. Lol

Florida health officials say the state has reached a grim milestone: more than 200,000 people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus since the start of the outbreak.

State statistics released Sunday show an additional 10,059 confirmed cases, with the total reaching 200,111. The highest number of confirmed cases in one day came Saturday, when more than 11,400 cases were reported.

Florida has seen a large increase in cases in the past several weeks, with nearly 60,000 confirmed in the last seven days, about 30% of the total count.

The state's positivity rate, or the percentage of tests coming back positive, rose to a record 15.04% Sunday.

Florida also reported 29 new deaths, bringing the death toll to 3,832.

Miami GOP Mayor Francis Suarez said Sunday that the high numbers of positive tests both in his county and in the state are “extremely worrisome.”

“It’s clear that the growth is exponential at this point,” he said. “Our county closed down the beaches for the July Fourth weekend in the hopes that all these rules will have an impact — a positive impact. It takes a little bit of time to find out exactly but we’re obviously very closely monitoring hospitalizations and we’re very, very closely monitoring the death rate, which our lagging indicators that give us the impression that we have to take much stricter — much stricter measurements — measures.”

People are going to ask to be admitted to hospital over the

fear of it increasing in intensity, the amount of testing

is off the scale , so it doesn't surprise me the numbers

going up dramatically.

Why are deaths conveniently left out of Virus reporting now? Answer because they are at record lows.

Why are people getting tested with mild or no symptoms at all?

Just the fun thing to do?

What happened to all the common cold and flu diagnoses?

That’s how you know this is all bs

Because if they test positive, then they are infected and actively shedding the virus to others.

In Florida you do not have to have symptoms to be tested. The positive numbers are also being inflated by people getting a test everyday and by the antigen test being included.

Anyone can look at the hospital situation with a state. A lot of areas in Florida are below their hospitalizations. Some areas are at normal levels, and currently no hospital is being overwhelmed.

The average age for the positive results are between 30 to 35. The vast majority of this age group doesn't need a hospital. If they do need the hospital, it's only for a couple of nights. Only on the rarest occasion is someone 35 and younger go into the ICU for this virus.

So they're calling asymptomatic positives "cases"? lol they'll do anything to keep the sheeples terrified.
