Fla. forecast to report more than 83,000 new cases of COVID per day

[HAB911]

TAMPA, Fla. — As Florida continues to see a surge in COVID-19 cases from the delta variant, the latest forecast from the Mayo Clinic offers up a sobering look at what is likely coming for the state just one day before school starts.

According to the Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 forecast tool, almost all of Florida will have cases above 100 per 100,000 and most of the counties around Tampa will be reporting more than 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 per day.

Statewide, the Mayo Clinic forecast tool said Florida will be reporting a seven-day rolling average of 49,398 cases of COVID-19 per day by August 9, a 132% increase from the current numbers. The overall range showed Florida could be reporting just 31,357 cases on the low end or 83,548 on the high end.

Looking at the county level, the numbers show a rapidly spreading disease. Hillsborough County is expected to be reporting 3,744 new cases of COVID-19 daily and will have 277 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000. If those numbers prove accurate, Hillsborough will see an increase in daily cases and per 100,000 cases of 152% from today’s numbers. While that’s high, other counties will see an even larger jump.

1. Freedom! Masks make me too sad! Just because there's a plague is no reason

to inconvenience ME!

2. Florida is going to ruin it for everyone!

15. Now Ohio and Texas will out Florida Man, Florida Man because there will be less of them to represent

.

Ohio 'Man' represents, surpasses Texas Man, Iowa Man & Florida Man for most references.

I knew they were Florida of the North, but never expected them to be the silent majority.

19. LOL, Fresno is the Florida of California!

[LisaL]

3. This is due to complete removal of all covid restrictions, no doubt.

Fl is not one of the lowest vaxxed states. Obviously their governor has a lot of blame for this.

4. If I were on the medical frontlines in FL....

I'd be giving serious consideration of moving on. The 1st year was bad enough, but a future of Republican induced COVID would make me reconsider staying in FL.

5. Is DeathSentence still selling those anti-Fauci T shirts?

Get thee to the greatest page

[Wounded Bear]

8. Maybe we need some of our own t-shirts...

"My family went to Florida and all I got was COVID"

[zuul]

12. Great idea.

[malaise]

17. Love it

[edhopper]

6. Florida, WTF

How is DeSantis still popular?

[HAB911]

9. I attribute it to stupidity

I'm on an island of blue in a sea of red(necks)

[Celerity]

10. ...

[Wounded Bear]

7. And with tourism opening up, they're gonna be a national super-spreader...

[DFW]

11. Florida's new state motto?

„Never Heard of Immunity“

13. Florida daily case rate now approaching last winter's peak:

14. Anyone who doesn't already live here should not come.

I can't help that I was born here and my 2 children live here with their partners and everyone has jobs here. Unless i want to leave my family, here is where I will be. I live in one of the worse hit areas, it's massive here. Funny, vaccine rates in my area have gone up 4% in the last week. If these fuckers had just acted sooner, we wouldn't be where we are.

I HATE maskholes!

[LisaL]

16. The new slogan:

Florida-don't come here unless you want covid.

[lark]

21. Yep, don't come here or to Missouri!

[BlueWavePsych]

18. Come to Florida, get sick and die!

[SWBTATTReg]

20. The 'Desantis Virus' hard at work, in FL.

[Xoan]

22. Headlines that make me go hmmmm ...

The overall range showed Florida could be reporting just 31,357 cases on the low end or 83,548 on the high end.

[Initech]

24. That reminds me of Lewis Black's bit about hurricanes.

"They said that it could hit somewhere between Miami and New York. Then why the fuck do you even bother reporting it, asshole???"

[AnnetteChaffee]

23. I'm in Orlando

and I've been in bed since yesterday morning feeling ill. I'm fully vaccinated, and I hope I don't have this thing.... but people in Florida are so IGNORANT i just don't know. I have a condition called hypogammaglobulinemia which means I pretty much have a compromised immune system on my best days.

I never stopped sanitizing and masking and I do everything I can to keep safe, but the idiots around me in Florida they are going to get people like me killed.

Namaste,
Annette

25. so sorry to hear that
