    Think so? We’ve had mandatory masks in grocery stores in Miami since late March or so and doesn’t seem to have given us any relief.

    Note—I’m pro mask.

    No rebuttals for the ER doctors who have no fear of the “crippling disease,“ or the lab scientist who admitted that she’s being pressured to tag COVID deaths?

    This is data I get from the dashboard developed by Rebekah Jones. The only real difference on daily data is that she includes non resident deaths (Prisons, immigrant communities andothers deemed non residents) which now totals 105 since March 1st.

    The change 7/12 on Hospital was she was reporting cumulative hospitalized from March 1st but changed to currently in hospital. The numbers I quoted earlier are from the official state dashboard.

    Does this data you’re using include all the private labs that weren’t reporting positivity rates correctly? If so, It will be interesting to see how that percentage changes in the coming days/weeks. I understand it’s not the most important data presented, but should show that the virus isn’t spreading as rapidly as once thought in Florida, no?

    Please refrain from giving out DVs in this thread. It just builds bad will, doesn't advance the conversation, and isn't persuasive.

    Edit: Members with drastically different views on the issue from myself and Denmen have been good about not DVing our posts, so the courtesy should be extended the other way. I'm sure they are just as frustrated with our stance as you are with theirs.

    Just heard on the radio a caller from an Emergency Room “Coder”, meaning she logs patient diagnosis data into the computers. She claimed (anonymously) that her hospital in Texas, and other states with affiliated hospitals, are actually coding patients as Covid positive who HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN TESTED. She has seen it with her own eyes but can only control her codes. She stated her hospital receives financial assistance for Covid positive tests. Could she be lying? Sure, but do you think she is lying?

    There is no reliable data out there, period. Any chance of reliable data was thrown out the window when Federal dollars, ultimately incentives, were given to the medical field. Money driven corruption is then furthering the hysteria & fear, whether that is one of the objectives or not.

    @Denmen185 you have spent an incredible amount of time on these numbers.

    I'm not questioning the seriousness of covid....and most on here aren't either.

    But what is your confidence level that all of the numbers being reported are accurate.?

    Do you think the financial incentives could be skewing the numbers?

    I have zero confidence the numbers being reported are accurate.

    But at the same time.....I respect the effort you have put into this and would respect your answer.

  • YaleDawgYaleDawg Posts: 7,303 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    High confidence they are accurate.

    No, the risk for over reporting the numbers is much higher than any financial gain that could be had. If anything they would want to under report to get things back to normal as this pandemic has placed an incredible strain on hospital finances. We saw this with those California doctors who intentionally misrepresented data to try to muster public support for opening the state because their urgent care facilities were suffering financially.

    Any oddity in reporting is being highly scrutinized. There was some quirk about death reporting in Arizona that turned out to be nothing, and the 100% positive testing centers in Florida have been treated as a huge scandal even though the actual data shows very little change in the overall percent positive rating for the state. It also seems to be incompetence from the Florida department of health rather than some nefarious motive.

    1,025 new cases today here in Mississippi. 3rd highest day yet. 18 deaths statewide. Going to decide in about a week if they are going to play High School football. Highly doubt it as a majority of the teachers in my area do not want to return to school

    The Mississippi High School Activities Association announced Tuesday that is delaying the start of the football season for two weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Go public and have the media and fickle mob attack them like they have every other medical professional that dares to go against the narrative? Fat chance. You can live in and perpetuate fear all you’d like, but the rest of us will continue to keep this country from financially collapsing.

    Hey YaleDawg here’s some google data for you to trust in! China wins!


  • YaleDawgYaleDawg Posts: 7,303 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    The only doctors who went against "the narrative" purposefully misrepresented data to get public support for reopening the state of California because their urgent care facilities were struggling. Can you point to any other doctor that has come forward with evidence to show this is nothing more than a hoax or being blown out of proportion? How is this effort to fake the spread of COVID-19 and the deaths being carried out? What group is running it? Do you understand just how difficult it would be to coordinate a global effort to fake the severity of a pandemic while simultaneously covering up any evidence that it is being faked? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
