    I believe we are allowed to have practice as long as the kids remain 6 feet apart.

    No games... no scrimmages. Its better than nothing but being that kids have not died from covid in San Diego... I think the kids should be able to compete... if they wish.

    if the stats change... I might change my opinion.

    So where are is COVID ActNow getting their data in view that the state of Florida has not released any information on ICU beds filled by COVID patients; nor hospital beds filled by COVID patients?

    I just want to see if you know what the source is. (Here is a hint - I know what the source is).

    You're a dope. Saying you know what the source is isn't a "hint".

    Read up. As for your argument on the data, I couldn't care less. If it were nearly anyone else, I'd be happy to discuss it. But not you.

    Every source sucks according to you, except those you post.

    Hope it's just a one day event, but new high in deaths yesterday, followed by a blowout day today in TX.

    I will note that founders and team members from COVID ActNow have criticized states that are less than transparent with their data.

    Their data source for hospitalizations and ICU for Florida are datafeeds from the https://floridacovidaction.com/ website created by Rebekah Jones which includes data feeds for information collected from AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration) including a data feed for hospital bed and capacity data. The feeds provided from her website are described at https://floridacovidaction.com/library/

    The primary issue is that AHCA attempts to gather the most complete information it can from counties and hospitals -- but can only get data from counties that are providing the information in Florida or medical institutions are providers of information to AHCA.

    It would be much simpler if the state of Florida (DOH) would provide this data as DeSantis committed to do last week but failed to do. Florida formerly did provide this hospitalization data until they fired Rebekah Jones. She pointed out that one of the reasons she was fired is because she resisted removing the hospitalization data from the state portal. After DeSantis was questioned by reporters about the hospitalization data which went against his narrative he demanded that it be removed from the state portal -- which led to the firing of Rebekah Jones.

    And now every media outlet, every information outlet, and research outlet is using her data sources as the primary ones representing the state of Florida and ignoring the information presented by the DeSantis administration.

    having lived through what you’re experiencing let me share some of what I observed. 1. After weekends and holidays reported cases, hospitalizations and deaths will be lower then catch up by Tuesday or Wednesday. 2. Hospitalizations are a leading indicator for fatality. If your state provides information look at the age of persons hospitalized, as the age increases (and they will) the fatalities will rise. 3. After you reach peak hospitalizations fatalities will continue to climb for weeks.

    lots of things are obvious and some aren’t. Here, in the northeast, we had Covid spreading for a few months starting sometime around January. This was before we even began testing but we didn’t see an overrun in hospitalization until late March and into April. So it is likely the sunbelt is seeing what we saw but they have testing available when we didn’t. So they may be seeing Something similar to the early spread we didn’t detect. Which is good. The problem is we didn’t peek in fatalities until April or May.

    What I’m saying is places like Florida, Arizona and Texas May be a month or more away from peak hospitalizations and a couple months from peak fatalities.
