COVID-19

Some of you I believe actively look to pick a fight with me.

So do you actually think this helps the situation or no? There were legit 2-3 times you could have just stopped or just changed the subject, but you chose to continue.

I don't even care at this point, I just find it fascinating that you keep painting yourself as the target, when you're actively making yourself a target by continuing the situation.

Florida didn't really close that much at all to be honest. Most of the people I know down there have been going about their business (including getting drunk at bars) for a month or two now

I 100% hope Florida doesn't implode; nobody wants to see people get sick and die. I'm just worried that a full-on reopening is a little premature, and might have negative consequences. And I would've thought that living through the experience of what happened with the first premature reopening would've changed the way they approached things, but Florida Man.

Isn't that what social media is about. Hate, pick a fight and name calling with the I am always right and you are always wrong? The main reason I won't even read the political thread. The political and hatred got in this thread somehow.

Back in June my fear was that the summer would be a lull, if you will, in cases or hospitalizations and that it would create a sense of calm that would be blown away come fall/winter. I still have that fear.

Have we ever reached a point where hospitals were overwhelmed?

Also the death rates in the sunbelt never reached where they did in Michigan, NY, NJ, or CT.

The Northeast came close, but no.

Wisconsin Is on the Brink of a Major Outbreak
The state’s coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are at an all-time high.

Looking sketchy in WI.

Wisconsin has less hospitalizations than Oklahoma and is about 1.5 times the population. Oklahoma’s hospitals aren’t anywhere near overrun. So I doubt they are either.

Never said hospitals were on the verge of being overrun.

That Ron Desantis gets everywhere.

He's there in the form of Scott Fitzgerald:

But those tools aren’t as easy to deploy in a fractious state. This week, Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, announced that the rising case counts forced him to extend a statewide mask mandate through November. Mask mandates are supported by public-health officials in the Trump administration and the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Yet the state’s top Republican legislators immediately attacked the move. “Moot, illegal, invalid, and almost assuredly headed for litigation,” Scott Fitzgerald, the state’s Senate majority leader, said in a statement. If the mask mandate is overturned in the state legislature, as Fitzgerald has repeatedly threatened, then Wisconsin’s odds of a deadly surge will worsen.

[Freddy Rumsen]

So Scott Fitzgerald hasn't done anything but he's responsible for the outbreak because he's a Republican.

That's exactly what my post meant. As I said, insufferable.

If masks overwhelmingly work (not saying they don’t work at all but I think it is obvious they aren’t “better than a vaccine” as Redfield said), why are they increasing in the state when they have had a statewide mask mandate?

Ron Desantis is the governor of Florida. How is that related to a loudmouth State Senator in Wisconsin who hasn't done anything.

Why bring up DeSantis in relation to a post about Wisconsin in the first place?

Feel like Freddy forgot to log out of his burner account or something lol

Probably as a joke.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I think it's obvious that mask mandates don't prevent spikes in COVID from happening, due to numerous factors such as user error, lack of adherence, reopening of business that allow for high transmission of the disease, etc., but the one thing that wearing a mask does at the very least is lessen the amount of viral load, which is probably part of the reason the number of hospitalizations and deaths hasn't been increasing at the same percentage as new cases.

He was the target here. These little random facts and what not are littered about this thread...

Is Factorial my burner?

I'm confused.

I believe today was the lowest reported Monday death toll since March 23rd.
