This number is part of the 110,000 cases reported over the past week in Florida, which was also a record.

Super duper spreader event for the unvaxxed.
If many are out of state, this could be similar to Sturgis and infect the rest of the country!

(38,365 posts)I guess they don't know what a breathing tube is like..Yes, I've been there and had that,
& I don't want that to ever happen again...NEVER...NEVER ...NEVER!!!!
...And their thinking must be idiotic. "It ain't going to happen to me".
We are not talking about a few deaths...600,000 and climbing...
Let's look it in perspective...35,000 are killed in auto accidents (approximately)..................................................... ......................That number, 600,000 is 18 times as many who are killed in traffic accidents..].18 TIMES AS MANY KILLED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS..SOON TO BE 20 TIMES..
So...these stupid people are driving around....N0 SEATBELTS, NO AIRBAGS, NO PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT ON THEIR CARS, NO REARVIEW MIRRORS, NO SIDEVIEW MIRRORS...AND THEY
THINK IT IS OK TO DO SO.....STUPID IS STILL VERY STUPID

9.856e-4
which I believe equates to
.0009856
which as a % would be
.09856%
or very close to 1 in 1000.
Keep that rate up for 1 year and you're looking at over 1/3 of the population of the state.

(2,694 posts)22,000/22,000,000 = 0.1% for a single day, if it keeps up thats 3% a month, and it isn't stable it's increasing. Delta has a reprodction or what ever that stat is for new cases from a typical case and it is 6 and climbing, we were under 3 often under 2 during the first surge back in spring 2020.
But like 5% of the population has gotten it so far. And the unvaccinated are getting it now.

(21,530 posts)The idea is to wait until the 1,000,000 deaths milestone is reached, and then start caterwauling about how "Biden failed us!"
Thats exactly what they want.
