@no1marauder said"Cases are now also counted on the day of the positive test"
You are wrong; Florida counts deaths on the date of death, not when they are finally reported. So the 5700 figure is surely an undercount which will creep up in the weeks ahead. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-numbers/florida-reports-covid-death-cases-changes/67-c5d04e80-56ad-4fb7-906b-b795f6922c26
Cases are now also counted on the day ...[text shortened]... s" you are seeing is a mirage; the September case counts will also be adjusted higher in the future.
Not all cases. Not all breakthrough cases are counted. Remember?

@sh76 saidYou're a CNN viewer? Or are you just a viewer of one of those other networks that chops up clips and fear-mongers about the other side?
When CNN celebrates (or at least acknowledges) the receding of the Florida COVID wave like it did in New York and California, I'll stop pointing it out.
@Metal-Brain
For anti America like you are, you could care less how many died since your empathy rating is ZERO just like your god king who also could care less who died, as long as he makes money.

@wildgrass saidWhen I do watch cable news (which is not that often, but a couple of times a week on average, for a little while at night), I flip around to all the major channels specifically to see what each one is saying. I'm the kind of person that battles very hard against the possibility of confirmation bias and I always try to seek both sides of every issue.

As an example, I watched them go apoplectic on Sinema and Manchin this week. It was fun.
You know, no1, early in the pandemic, I distinctly recall (correct me if I'm wrong) your saying many times that government "opening up" won't help the economy much because people are rational and will not participate in the economy if they're risking getting sick.
I'm wondering if that's consistent with your position on harsh mandates. If people are rationally afraid of COVID, won't they take steps to protect themselves on their own anyway?

You are being irrationally paranoid.

@sh76 saidSure it's consistent (though you're predictably overstating my position). Most people are rational.

But a minority that are not can still spread a deadly, contagious virus.

@no1marauder saidDefine "rational"?, agreeing with the fear, or going about their own lives, minding their own business. Many people I know don't care so much about covid, except for the draconian states handing out obscene fines. i.e they are scared of the fines, not covid.

An awful lot of people do not agree with "your" rational.

Are you rational enough to accept that fact?
@metal-brain saidMurder/suicides can count as a covid death, also plain suicides, crazy. well thats what the alt right ( thats what those that disagree, will call it ) sites say.

@jimmac saidI created a thread about it. Sharyl Atkisson was my source. She interviewed some people from a small community that noticed because they knew the people (or knew people that knew those people) that died and the true cause of death.

In a big city that would be unlikely to be noticed as it is in a small town. It is likely that a lot of deaths were wrongly classified as covid deaths and never caught in the cities. Since most people live in cities that could be a lot of people.

Trump is supposedly American also but that doesn't help him with empathy, just like you.

@sonhouse saidBiden has empathy?

Tell that to the 2 year old girl he had killed along with 9 other innocent civilians. Tell that to the families of the Afghanis that held onto the wheels of an aircraft and fell to their deaths.
biden has no empathy. Furthermore, he likes trump and trump like him. Trump wrote Biden a "generous letter" and left it in the white house desk for him to read. Biden said so.

@sh76 saidLikewise, you don't need to be a CNN viewer to know that Florida leadership did a bad job managing COVID. Their per capita death rate is almost 6X higher than California and 50X more than Australia.

@wildgrass saidAll he did is hasten inevitable deaths. Everyone is going to get it eventually.
