Didnt Bolso pass covid already?

Here's a tinfoil theory: he's fucking lying. He's not covid+ de novo. He already had covid and it was mild. He's now pretending to have covid19 to support his argument that it's not that bad and everyone should work without masks

Weird that you should say that. I remember thinking that Bolsanaro was probably the biggest initial spreader in his country, if not patient zero, a few weeks ago.

Maybe he had symptoms or something?

He made an appearance with a mask, though

Well here's one you can chalk up to orange-grade stupid:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/07/florida-carsyn-davis-coronavirus/

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner found that the immunocompromised teen went to a large church party with roughly 100 other children where she did not wear a mask and social distancing was not enforced. Then, after getting sick, nearly a week passed before she was taken to the hospital, and during that time her parents gave her hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug touted by President Trump that the Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings about, saying usage could cause potentially deadly heart rhythm problems.

Florida-level dumbass meets Trump supporter-level dumbass. Seriously, take your kid to the hospital.

I wish it was easier to put this stuff in perspective.  We only see the sensational stuff in the news.  I mean if 1 in 1000 people act like idiots, but 1 in 2 news stories are about idiots... most people think that 50% of people act like idiots because that's the sample to which they are exposed.

One can only hope that one side effect of this pandemic is that we'll get "practical statistics" back in mainstream school curricula...

EDIT: Whee... my state new case count (yeah I know, accuracy, meaning, etc) is the highest it's been in 52 days.  Mortality is still low though, which I guess is positive.    (Hoping it's "catch up" numbers from the holiday weekend... but...)

[Max™]

Uh, Florida has a much higher rate of idiots than 1 in 1000, and a much higher quality of idiots at that. Florida man isn't just a meme, it's an actual thing.

That story was just the Florida Mom version.

Also we hit 55k yesterday and 52k today, so it's not just weekend catchup.

[McTraveller]

Eh, I don't care about the entire US stats. I just care about my state. Yeah it's selfish but this is a highly geographically dependent phenomenon.

It is definitely clear, though, that our daily case counts have gone up in the 30 days since our restrictions have been lifted a bit.

Mortality though has been about flat for the past 30 days.  So that's an interesting trend - suggesting either the medical pros are better at keeping people alive, the characteristics of the virus or the infected have changed, and/or the lag in those stats is greater than 30 days.  Seems to be real though - the actual peak deaths per day in MI occurred 18 days after the peak in daily case counts.  So 30 days after restrictions lifting and having mostly constant daily deaths is significant, not a fluke.

Everywhere has just as many of those idiots, Florida just has a law making all records public: https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/how-floridas-proud-open-government-laws-lead-to-the-shame-of-florida-man-news-stories-7608595

Only those who have not born witness to Dread Florida with their own eyes believe such an explanation.

[Egan_BW]

Hah, you guys still believe in Florida? It's not a place, it's a creature~

[Naturegirl1999]

Hah, you guys still believe in Florida? It's not a place, it's a creature~

Pretty sure it’s part of the North America continent, unless you’re also implying that The Who,e continent is a creature. (I most definitely missed whatever reference you’re attempting to make, please enlighten me when you say Florida is a creature)

[wierd]

Somebody at work tested positive for the crow plague.

So, now we all get to have a swab ram-rodded up our nostrils.  Looking forward to it.

If the continent is a creature, then Florida must be the male genital.

As in, somebody working at your elder care job?

[wierd]

As in, somebody working at your elder care job?

Yes. One of our younger employees (between 18 and 20) tested positive for crow plague.

They say they want to have test kits here before 10 tomorrow.  I will come and have the swab rammed up my nose when they get the kits in.
