Great news here in Florida . . . COVID deaths and cases fall

[johnwk]

See: Florida COVID Cases Drop Significantly for the First Time Since Delta Surge Began (msn.com)


"For the week of August 27, there are 129,240 new cases—22,612 fewer than the previous week. This is the first significant drop in new cases in the last 10 weeks. A smaller decrease of 1,222 cases occurred during the week beginning August 13 when compared to the previous week.

Along with the reported cases, the number of positive COVID-19 cases has dropped to 15.2 percent, compared to 17.1 percent during the week beginning August 20. The number of COVID-related deaths has dropped to fewer than 500 people, compared to the week of August 20 where there were nearly 1,500 deaths."

Of course, what is not reported in the article is, Governor Ron DeSantis had the courage and wisdom to start setting up Antibody Treatment Centers around the State a few weeks ago, which appears to have been the game changer in lowering Covid deaths, one of the most important metrics when measuring success in fighting the COVID outbreak as opposed to constantly babbling on and on about the number of reported cases in order to cause hysteria and fear in the community.

Thank you Governor DeSantis for having the courage and wisdom to turn to the antibody treatment which our Fifth Column, and fearmongering media smirked at, simply because Trump suggested its use.

That is good new. Congrats, Florida.

Yup. We need to get past this fucking thing.

Mac1958 we've been past it
most people don't get it
of those, most don't die
of those, most are the elderly/OBESE/etc
= big nothing burger

Not anymore. Average age in Tennessee of those dying is in the 40s. Have not seen whether they are obese or not, as the data is not broken down by height/weight.

Meanwhile, back in reality ... DeSantis is just changing the way data is reported, so that the last week is always initially reported with fewer cases and deaths.

As cases ballooned in August, however, the Florida Department of Health changed the way it reported death data to the CDC, giving the appearance of a pandemic in decline, an analysis of Florida data by the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald found.

On Monday, Florida death data would have shown an average of 262 daily deaths reported to the CDC over the previous week had the health department used its former reporting system, the Herald analysis showed. Instead, the Monday update from Florida showed just 46 “new deaths” per day over the previous seven days.

The dramatic difference is due to a small change in the fine print. Until three weeks ago, data collected by DOH and published on the CDC website counted deaths by the date they were recorded — a common method for producing daily stats used by most states. On Aug. 10, Florida switched its methodology and, along with just a handful of other states, began to tally new deaths by the date the person died.

If you chart deaths by Florida’s new method, based on date of death, it will generally appear — even during a spike like the present — that deaths are on a recent downslope. That’s because it takes time for deaths to be evaluated and death certificates processed. When those deaths finally are tallied, they are assigned to the actual date of death — creating a spike where there once existed a downslope and moving the downslope forward in time.
...
The change was also reflected in data about new cases, which went from being counted by date of report to “the date of specimen collection, confirmed COVID-19 laboratory test result, or clinical diagnosis,” according to the CDC website. The case data show less of a dramatic shift than death data because case data are reported more quickly than deaths.

It was the vaccines comrade. Get some facts.

1. link!!!!!!!!!!!
2. wrong, my statement stands:
MOST are elderly
about 30,000 deaths under 49 out of over 650,000 --LESS than 5%--in my math class, 95% is MORE than most
3. Tennessee !!!!!! you mention ONE state out of 50 !!!!!!!!!

One thing that is learned in this crisis is that what goes down must go back up if nothing is done.

Still people have died so there is nothing to be excited about because the number decreased.

 

[Concerned American]

constantly babbling on and on about the number of reported cases in order to cause hysteria and fear

But the response from the msm will be that those numbers are unreliable. The same tactic they used when people started using VAERS statistics to prove points. Their response was "Oh those numbers are not confirmed." It is a CDC system, for crying out loud. There is no accounting for stupid and the leftist/democrat/globalists have a corner on that.

 

[Lastamender]

Yup. We need to get past this fucking thing.

That is surprising from you, you seem to enjoy being had.

Global mortality rate for any cause has not increased significantly during the entire run of this fiasco. Political hoax pure and simple.

You guys on the left are actually cheering the deaths in red states.
You absolutely enjoy reporting Covid increases.

Remember when our Fifth Column media constantly smirked at Trump for suggesting the use of antibody treatment?


Trump sparks new FDA concerns with praise of 'miracle' treatment

And, what about this?

The President's Latest Silver Bullet - The Atlantic
"Trump claims his illness has led him to a coronavirus “cure.” Antibody therapy is still far from that"

They just couldn't help themselves from always finding some clever comment to down Trump.

The citizens of the United States paid little attention while their tyrannical federal government gave aid and comfort to hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals invading their country.

Tell that to the 2300 + in the past week who died of Covid. I believe that is the largest count since the pandemic began.

Old age and obesity are the two major factors according to this report from Lancet Infectious Diseases:

Post-Vaccination Infection Risk Factors

https://doi-org/10.1016/S1473-3099(21)00460-6

’ To conclude, the odds of post-vaccination infection following the first dose were increased in the frail, older adults and in those living in more deprived areas, and were decreased in individuals without obesity. Compared with unvaccinated controls, after their second vaccine dose, individuals were less likely to have prolonged illness (symptoms for 28 days or more), more than 5 symptoms in the first week of illness, or present to hospital.’

I see what you mean. The people that are getting it now are mostly young, where it used to be middle and older aged, but I cannot pull data on morbidity in last 30 days, since it got to be young people presenting as highest demographic. Cumulatively you are still correct from beginning of pandemic to now, as far as deaths go. On the briefing day before yesterday, from Madison County (where I live) they said the average age of covid patients in ICU were mid 40s at the present time and 54 on ventilator. I assumed the average age of the patients was that average age of the ones doing the dying. I have no proof of that and cumulative numbers from beginning of Pandemic definitely don't show it.
Should not be a surprise to you. Here is cumulative TN cases by age. Experience
