If you want to categorize going from 70 cases a day to 450-500 a day over the last 4 months a statistical increase that’s fair I’m just cautioning of what the fall/winter months might have in store for the northeast/Midwest. CT’s 7 day avg of positive cases in early October of this year is higher then at the same point in October of 2020, same with 7 day avg of deaths in CT (4x’s higher now then same time last year) so🤞it doesn’t follow the same seasonality trend line as 12 months ago.I should have been more clear in my original post. Hovering around record highs/breaking record highs despite a great vaccination rate are being seen in Vermont and Maine with worrying trends in CT and MA along with WI, MN, MI and those states just coming up on their indoor seasons. I should have been more careful, my apologies.
You're somewhat correct. Case counts, positivity rates, etc., are up in many places, and that's worrying. But the data seems to show - at least as best as I can tell - that these increases are coincidental to the even larger increases in the south, not subsequent to them. The idea that COVID is some kind of traveling circus moving from one part of the country to the next, and that every region gets its "turn," doesn't appear to be accurate. But going back to Florida, if this is indeed a regional thing, why is Florida so much worse than its neighbors, even with better vaccination rates?
You're so disingenuous. You have been since the beginning of this disease
How so?
Vermont leaders actively and aggressively work to mitigate the worst effects of COVID-19 by promoting vaccinations, mask-wearing and, if necessary, mandates for both.Florida leaders actively and aggressively work to undermine use of a life-saving vaccine, mock mask-wearing, and forbid local jurisdictions from initiating policies that would protect their residents from a deadly, highly contagious virus.Yeah, it's a total mystery why Vermont's outcome has been so much better than Florida's.
Not what we were talking about Olberman.
Are your maladjusted antisocial tendencies due to that of a beserk pituitary gland?
Would be interested to hear your thoughts as to why, truthfully.
Wow I never heard about the Wisconsin anti-pope who didn’t think the anti Vatican II groups were traditional enough….And then there’s this Wisconsin priest - I actually listened to him totally downplay lynching in the Jim Crow era…. So thankful for my parish. https://www.ncronline.org/news/parish/altman-controversial-wisconsin-priest-still-speaking-out-despite-limits-bishop
I suspect a variety of factors. - The nonchalance about the pandemic and outright hostility to safety measures - both from state authorities and citizens - almost certainly led to a greater number of transmissions.- It was a hot and rainier-than-normal August, which kept more people indoors.- While Florida's vaccine data appears good, it's probably not good enough for a state with so many elderly and vulnerable residents. 80 percent of the senior population in Florida and 80 percent of the senior population in Texas mean very different things.- I do wonder, also, about the legitimacy of Florida's vaccine numbers. The state has proved itself not to be above fudging its COVID stats, and it's weird that Florida is such an outlier when it comes to the correlation between vaccinations and deaths.
Tell us more about how wonderful those Texas and Florida governors are doing, Tucker!

I think they should be given what they want, and then immediately release them from the hospital so the can go to the tractor supply clinic.Lawsuits demand Palm Beach County hospitals give Ivermectin to struggling COVID patientshttps://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/coronavirus/2021/10/06/families-covid-patients-push-hospitals-offer-ivermectin-patients/5991796001/Six weeks after Tamara Drock was admitted to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, the 47-year-old Loxahatchee woman is in a medically induced coma and tethered to a ventilator.It was an outcome that her husband, Ryan, tried to prevent.“No ventilators,” he said of his orders to the hospital staff.Instead, he pushed them to give his wife Ivermectin, a drug that is approved to treat people with conditions caused by parasitic worms, but not for those ravaged by the coronavirus. Hospital officials refused.
If the wife and husband both said no vent, that should have been respected
I would actually agree that her wishes should be respected, though the article doesn’t say whether she ended up agreeing to it or not.
He said he doesn’t know why she didn’t respond to the typical treatment protocols, including being given the anti-viral Remdesivir, steroids and antibiotics. But, he said, he suspects her treatment was less robust because she hadn't received a COVID-19 shot.“It seemed they were against her when they found out she wasn’t vaccinated,” he said of his impression of those who treated his wife at the hospital, owned by Tenet Healthcare.
