    What we'll come to realize over the next few weeks - I bet - is that deaths have been rising for at least a week or two in Florida, but their reporting has healthy lag. Most of these deaths didn't occur in the last 24 (or even 48) hours.

    Metro Nashville headlining "worse day on record" today, but included 25% of the case count from backlogged cases from June

    Well, if that's the case then time to change!

    If there was a time machine to take that information and share it when folks were thumping their chests about how everything was way exaggerated and things were good back in June, we should use it. I don't see how not counting them now is better than just not counting them.

    Who was thumping their chest about everything being good in june? Sports were cancelled, trips cancelled, bars closed, unemployment skyrocketing. Wtf are you talking about.
    And yes death rate has been exaggerated since day one and still isnt accurate. Ill stand by that statement. Refute it

    Exaggerated by how much? .000000000000000000001% is an exaggeration. Give me a number to refute.

    You considering 20x more people have it than tested or you leaving out that population?
    And is this accurate or fake news

    Daily deaths starting to move up on your link. I was hoping that it was lagging in 4th reporting, but its two days. If it continues, that means the lag is 3 weeks or so between beginning of the spike (June 15th) and beginning of the increase in deaths.

    Peak'd daily cases last set was July 3rd (although getting higher now), so wouldn't be a shock to see daily deaths continue to rise for the next 2 weeks.

    Hopefully it comes back down, and it was just July 3rd reporting. Hopefully.

    Death rate is per case, not per infection.

    The image is the antibody test, not the PCR swab. Most people don't want to include antibody tests in positive cases, but some state are.

    Accurate. Get a shovel, we got to dig up some of these 100,000 fakers.

    We will always differ on tbis one. If 20x more people have it than show as current positive cases, its even less deadly for certain demographics than reported. Imo

    Put down your picket sign, put away your mace and lets roll.

    Always? There is no number of deaths that would be enough to make you see it as adequately deadly to warrant the reaction?

    I don't have a sign and the only mace I carry does 2d4 damage.

    This is true, but 20x more people having it than currently have it, means 21% of the country has had it, and we're almost done. So, even if it started in October of 2019, that means it has been bouncing around the US for 10 months. Ok, so 21% / 10 months = 2.1% per month.

    If we need 33% for an effective, even if not definitional herd immunity, we have 12% left to go, or 6 more months. We've had 133k of deaths over only 4 months. So that means we're still looking at 200,000 more deaths.

    Even accepting a 20x more affected than not affected number. Not even looking at deaths to cases. Just deaths over months.

    You are close to incapable of posting anything other than made up bullshit.
    Im simply talking about the death rate not being accurate and honestly dont give a [uck fay] if you agree or dont.
