Ah, so it ISNT that Floridians are the only ones that are contagious? Thanks for explaining, man. I'm sure glad you're here bringing sense to this thread. Otherwise I'd have to deal with really challenging things, like rearranging my sock drawer. Since I've already expressed my interest to vote for someone other than Trump, I'm already on the side hoping he is done in November. As for Ron DeSantis, I'm not sure what he'll do. That's up to him. But I'll hopefully be able to go on living my life, making money and making you look like a 9 year old on this forum. You know, a typical Monday.
I've spoken to several people in Florida over the weekend. (This would be tantamount to the usual CNN "according to sources unnamed--" and they have indicated that Florida has free testing all over the place including antibody testing. Once a person tests positive for antibodies, then that test is added to the new confirmed cases. Thus there really isn't a surge in Florida with the exception of perhaps Miami-Dade. Many new cases are actually old, recovered cases. ------Womp Womp Womp Womp-------
I went looking for this and couldn't find a source - though I didn't exactly do a comprehensive search (today I am being Slide Boy at work so time is limited). Do you have something to support where people with positive antibody tests are being included in the positive case count as first time cases?
No. This was anecdotal from the several people in Florida that I talked to over the weekend. Thus the reference to CNN's unnamed sources. They all said the same thing so I am curious about it.----They also said that most of Florida is affected by CCP to a very small degree while the big metro areas are more affected----Again just people talking but they are down there.
Here is an article from late May concerning Texas, Vermont and Virginia, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that what these residents in Florida are saying is true. Covid-19 tests: Some states combined diagnostic and antibody test results, skewing their data By Eric Levenson, Ed Lavandera and Ashley Killough, CNN 5/20/2020 https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/ot...y-test-results-skewing-their-data/ar-BB14nrJb
There are numerous other articles showing that this may have occurred which leads one to believe that it may still be occurring. I would certainly like to know.
Florida teen dies after conspiracy theorist mom takes her to church ‘COVID party’ and tries to treat her with Trump-approved drug: report A Florida mother took her high-risk teenage daughter to a “COVID party” at their church, tried treating the girl at home with unproven drugs when she got sick — and then hailed her as a patriot after she died. Carsyn Davis died June 23, two days after her 17th birthday, after she contracted the coronavirus, reported the News-Press, but former Florida data scientist Rebekah Jones detailed shocking claims in a medical examiner’s report about her illness. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the teen’s last two week in the medical examiner’s report, which Jones said shows her mother, Carole Brunton Davis, had taken her June 10 to a church-sponsored event to intentionally expose her immunocompromised daughter, who had survived cancer at 2, to the potentially deadly coronavirus. More than 100 mask-free children attended the event, and Davis gave her daughter azithromycin, an anti-bacterial drug with no known benefits for fighting COVID-19, after she developed headaches, sinus pressure and a cough, Jones reported. Davis — whose Facebook page is awash in QAnon conspiracy theories, anti-vaccine and coronavirus misinformation and dubious legal theories — next put the girl on her grandfather’s oxygen machine after she “looked gray” on June 19. Then she gave the girl hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug touted as a cure by President Donald Trump, despite evidence of deadly side effects, and Carsyn’s condition worsened. Davis finally took her daughter to a hospital, where she was admitted to a pediatric intensive-care unit — but declined intubation until it was too late. The hospital started plasma therapy on June 20 and 21, Jones reported, but Carsyn’s cardio-respiratory system was too seriously damaged and she died June 22. “We are incredibly saddened by her passing at this young age, but are comforted that she is pain free,” Davis told the News-Press after her daughter’s death.
Excellent value add, Spike. A teen who is immuno compromised and has had cancer is exposed to other kids, develops CoVid and then, after being admitted to the hospital declines aventilator and then dies. Oh, and hydroxychloroquine is reported to have deadly side effects, despite being recommended by the CDC for decades as an anti-malarial. I'll bet DeSantis is at fault for this, too?
