I’m no conspiracy guy, but something is weird about these mortality numbers. Florida has had about 2/3 the number of cases NY has had; but only about 1/7 the number of deaths. I know the deaths will lag behind the cases, but that’s quite a statistical gap.

This is an interesting read...

Obviously. Seatbelts keep people in their cars so they can hopefully control them after a wreck. It's better than flying through the windshield or out the door and your car careening out of control.

If you have hit something so hard you could be ejected out the windshield you are not and will not be in control of jack ****.

New York was sending infected people into nursing homes. That’s a soft target if I’ve ever seen one.

First Federal Execution In 17 Years Halted On Coronavirus Fears



So let me get this straight. You have the guy on the hook to be executed. But you decide to push it back and delay it, which opens the door for attorneys to but more time to stop it all together. And the reason given is because you do not want to risk traveling and getting family members infected, as opposed to just doing a facetime/Zoom conferencing of the execution. Is it really that important that you be there in the flesh to look in his eyes as he's executed?

I saw this yesterday and was pretty pissed. I really dont understand why they couldn't have used a video conference service and carried it out

Agreed, but the mortality curves are still vastly different.

I now know several people that have tested positive, but none have gotten very sick at all. One is 25 and thought he had a hangover from partying at the lake the day before symptoms began.... he was tested, but was over by the time the positive test came back. Another was a 25 year old nurse.... low grade fever for less than 24 hours and that was it..... lady in her 70’s with stage 4 lung cancer.... a symptomatic.
A sophomore in high school.... dizziness.... low grade fever.... lethargic.... waiting on test result..... her mother... mid 40’s.... positive .... asymptomatic.
my wife....50.... has had a dry cough and feels run down..... waiting for test results.... she does have seasonal allergies and was told she has a double ear infection.... hopefully she’s negative

Multiple factors:
- FL didn't send pts into nursing homes
- Younger demographic affected lately in Florida
- Improvements in management of critically-ill pts. It appears that some of the high-pressure ventilation actually did a lot of damage. We also now have widespread availability of remdes and the data on steroids.
- (Likely) falsely-elevated case numbers in FL
