I'm thinking masks are coming back given how fast hospitals are filling up. New cases are going parabolic like a stock market pumped up by never-ending stimulus. We're also seeing a major slowdown in orders at our medical products plant, which I tend to use as a leading economic indicator of the broad economy, and it's more than just supply chain disruptions which have also become a factor... orders are starting to crater like they did spring of last year. This is something that has occurred just in the last 10 days or so.
I don't think people realize how fragile the supply chain can be. Companies are dependent on each other for inputs to produce outputs. When one product stops being produced it can create a domino effect. It doesn't help vaccine distribution to the rest of the world is rather incomplete.
All I know is I'm hearing personal stories from friends and family who are sounding the alarm on this Delta strain. My primary doctor had 12 cases of Covid on Sunday at the urgent care he works in. Today my friend in north FL had an appointment with her primary doctor. She was told he has 12 patients in ICU with Covid and lost two last night. Doesn't matter what kinds of questions are being raised. People are getting sick and dying.
..Yesterday, the CDC reported Florida’s COVID data, something that is part of a normal cycle after a weekend, claiming that the Sunshine State saw over 28,000 new cases on Sunday. That would have been a record high, and it helped drive another round of anti-Florida media coverage.
The problem? The CDC’s reporting was false...
Interesting. It did seem a tad high. What are the accurate numbers?

I don't see anyone reporting this except the Redstate News.LOL
Based on a Tweet, come on.
Florida stopped daily reporting, looks like they are back to daily reporting although usually late especially on weekends. Their 7 day moving average is almost 20,000 so they claim the one day total of 28,000 is wrong.
Suffice it to say they are in serious trouble putting beds in auditoriums and trying to find staff.
I am so sorry to hear about your son. I can't imagine what your family must be going through.
Thank you. I am just praying he comes through. It’s hard not being there- and I can’t ask my normal 1000 questions. The family is on survival mode. I’m just busy doing anything.
Sounds like a data error was made, and caught within 24 hours. This isn't a big deal, and because these things happen, most jurisdictions use a 7 day rolling average.
Saying this leads to "Major Questions" or implying malicious intent is absurd. The system corrected itself, as it should.
It IS a big deal. It's either dishonest or incompetence, neither of which is good.

You shouldn't be so hard on FL, they are reporting the best they can under very bad circumstances.
(Hint: It is the state's job to report data)

Yes. After one year of avoiding the original covid, since June I personality know of 14, one, my son, still in ICU in a coma. No change today they said. He is in Miami the rest of us in Orlando so not sure who all was in his group who got sick. My ER nurse friends say they are making rooms for ICU beds. I don’t know the numbers, but people definitely getting sick.
Thinking of you and your family often, tinytrump, and sending healing thoughts for your son.
