Wholeheartedly agree.The misinformation you are spreading is dangerous. Just Stop.

I just looked at all the posts that were on ignore ...I did learn one thing in 2020; that the Ignore button can keep your blood pressure down.
Because they were discredited months ago. They run a for profit medical center and were upset elective surgeries and care had been put on hold in CA.

Ignore is great, besides keeping stress down, there is the added benefit of not giving those posters the attention they so desperately need..
Florida also announced that by Saturday the state will no longer use PCR tests at state sites. The standard will now be the 15 minute antigen test.
The lag between the first positive test and actual death in that reporting does not seem at all unusual to me. My friend’s husband was in the hospital for 40+ days. He fortunately survived but had he died it would have been over a month and a half between his first positive test and his death. Another friend of a family member had a similar slightly longer timeline in the hospital. The young Broadway actor who died was in the hospital fighting it for something like 95 days before he finally died. My understanding is that it is not at all unusual for someone to fight this virus for a very long time with ever changing symptoms and complications before they finally succumb to it.No Florida report today. Florida’s Surgeon General is going to review the process for reporting deaths. The reports have a huge lag and have questions of accuracy.
In the 95 deaths that were reported to the state today....
Hopefully they review it and fix whatever problems there are.
- 11 were over 30 days old;
- 16 had at least two months between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away; and
- 5 had at least three months between the time the individuals tested positive and passed away.

The reality is Covid can take a long time to resolve one way or another. We had a guy here who was in the hospital 130 days before coming home. But I wouldn't put it past Florida to be doing this to prepare the way to fudge their numbers down some more by inventing some arbitrary and capricious standard designed to lower their death count that if someone dies a certain number of days after diagnosis, it doesn't count.The lag between the first positive test and actual death in that reporting does not seem at all unusual to me.

Here in MA our daily new hospitalizations tend to be fairly low - often fewer than 20 in a day. Over the last two weeks we’ve cumulatively had 200 new hospitalizations yet we still have 500 people currently hospitalized with the virus. Lots of people spend quite a long time in the hospital with this before they either beat or or succumb to it.
At least you got out of it. We still haven't. And it doesn't look like we will anytime soon.And we officially went back into the most restrictive tier in CA again
I have noticed a marked increase in cases in those under 18 in my county.

Wow! Nothing like that in my county. In fact most schools are still remote (and will be for the foreseeable future). A few smaller schools have gotten waivers to open but nothing has been said that links the increase to schools.Not the under-18 crowd, but one of my alma maters, Univ Michigan recently accounted for 60% of the positive tests in the county.
