Yesterday's figure for new cases in Florida of 2,625 was over 700 up on the previous highest (which was on Friday) - the last three days have seen a new highest so far figure in that state when it comes to new cases. As I mentioned in a message yesterday, it might be that the higher figures are down to increased testing levels, but if that's not the case, there's also an ominous look to things in Texas and California;-

They've been dillying the numbers. Check out my link above Bob!Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
Levels are always going to increase, when we come out of lockdown the figures are only going one way , now add to that all these protests with little or no social distancing
it looks like other countries are struggling with keeping rates low and getting back to life
I see France is opening up almost to normal tomorrow, anyone know what the r rate is over there? Infections? Deaths etc.....
Still deaths in the 20’s and 4/500 new cases a day.....
our new cases are around the 1500 mark per day i think ( though i must admit i havent been following it that much the last week as im back to work 100% now )
Rising in Florida just in time for Disney to open......
The difference is that the likes of England, the USA, Brazil and some others have eased lockdown restrictions at a time when claims that they have beaten the virus are ludicrous. Why can't they just tell the truth and say that they've decided money is more important than human lives and, in one of those cases at least, the leader was concerned that his electoral prospects were suffering while his country stayed in lockdown?
I think we will have come to terms with a certain amount of deaths in exchange for saving the economy, what a dilemma
It is a dilemma, I reckon there will be a vaccine by the end if this year mind, or at least something that lessons the blow of the disease a bit like they discovered already but suitable for more people
When you say money is more important do you mean saving millions of people’s livelihoods?
If it ever boiled down to a choice of actual lives or livelihoods I'd always choose lives,
What if that choice lead to the death of more people than your other choice? Something we don’t know and we never want to see or experience ever.....
Yeah but it will be made by Bill Gates who tests all his vaccines on African kids who now have deformities. So is it worth all that?
New record highs of new cases posted in Texas and Florida.
But its easy to make that choice when one is in a positon where one has enough income or savings to not need to work, which may include relying on ones kids being in school and the buses and trains running normally, but for a lot of folks being in lockdown and letting the economy die to save lives is actually killing them anyway.
Of course, you can back this up with evidence.
Good grief, the UK Government apologists are tying themselves in knots in this thread - I was asked a question and gave a straight answer which has been met by classic whatiffery.
Meanwhile, in this thread which, judging by the person who started it, was started to show that White House backed policies being followed in many states were the way to go, the state mentioned in its title has, once again, had a record number of new cases in the last twenty four hours, as has California, while Texas suffers its third worst day - death rates are not rising yet and, hopefully, they won't, but the one has tended to be about two to three weeks behind the other so far. .
OP posted pretty close to the arrow.Bars & restaurants are open, and they are partying likes it's 1999, so it will be interesting to see if they start dropping like flies in 14 days time.
