I learned way more out of class than in during college. And most of that was from mistakes.

you learn best from failure, they say. As long as it doesn't kill ya!

Hey I actually found something. This has to be part of it:

NJ covid cases age 65 and older - 24% of total
FL covid cases age 65 and older - 14% of total

However, this I don't understand:

NJ deaths/cases/death rate ages 0 to 49 - 623/82,916/0.75%
FL deaths/cases/death rate ages 0 to 49 - 183/144,880/0.13%

anybody actually believe a thing Florida tells us?

no doubt, and the idiots feel the need to post anything their friends do. I remember on ski trips, 10-15 years ago, one guy said "no phone videoing after we've had a few beers" needless to say, he's a genius!

I don't think it's irrational to think the deaths are coming. We're testing faster and more prolifically than before, most of the early people in Florida to get infected were younger (we weren't testing them unless they were being hospitalized during the peak in new jersey), it takes some time for them to start infecting the more vulnerable populations in their communities, and maybe we're treating the virus a little better thus keeping people alive a little bit longer.
I think it's irrational to think the surge of death isn't coming.

Except your assumptions are completely wrong. The median age of Florida covid cases was mid-60s in Mar and April, now it is high 30s. That is a huge difference in death rate, as previously outlined. The vulnerable people are staying protected, which is why deaths are moving slightly up 4-5 weeks after large increases in new cases. Of course deaths will go up to some extent, but it is clearly not proportional to new cases.

NJ had 52 deaths yesterday - the equivalent number for FL would 112. They've yet to get close to that number in one day.

I don't think it's that easy to keep the vulnerable population protected. ICU admissions are going up, the next stop is a coffin.
 
could early use of hydroxichloquin + zinc or whatever it’s called prevent the spikes in cases from translating in deaths? I thought therapy since March has improved. Or it didn’t?

protocols have improved - might be more attributed to dexamethasone tho.

120 deaths today. ICU's are full. It's time to pay the piper for Florida.
