Wow! EVERY Florida County Reporting Over 58.5 Covid Infections Per 100,000

[Stallion]

every county is in the red or deep red

(you've got to scroll down and click from lowest to highest in the per 100,000 link)

to compare to for example New York where no county is above 48.5 per 100,000

pretty astounding since Florida has relatively average vaccinations rate-I believe the highest among traditionally Republican states-how bad could this get in the Deep South/Gulf states

5. My friend in FL says many breakthrough infections

in her senior community. She’s self-quarantining until she can get her booster.

6. Distressing

There is a neighborhood newsletter that I get on every once in a while. It covers my community n others in about a 10 mile radius, as far as I can tell. The topic comes up about vaccines n the pro n cons people post. It’s scary as hell to know what my neighbors are saying about their “rights” n how they feel about the uninformed marching with what the government orders. I don’t think I’ll ever be w/o my masks again. The theories n attitudes are ridiculous. I don’t get involved anymore..it’s maddening and I feel my blood pressure coming to a boil.

7. I know growth of infections cannot be sustained but the concept of exponential growth fascinates

I don’t know how I stumbled on this video (or watched it all) but I love this guy. From grains of wheat on a chess board to oil consumption and population growth he brings it home plus I realized how a newspaper heading can sound benign (crime up 7% this year) or scary (crime has doubled in 10 years.

If this was the path COVID took without vaccines we’d be in deep shit.

8. Yeah I Feel the Same Way-Its Fascinating to Watch the Numbers Climb and Fall

slowly and steadily up or down
