"Florida's Covid-19 situation will be like a "house on fire" in a few weeks, infectious disease expert says"


Florida will be “like a house on fire” in another few weeks because the state has dropped coronavirus precautions, and President Trump probably should not hold a rally there right now, infectious disease specialist Mike Osterholm said Friday.

“Florida is ripe for another large outbreak,” Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told CNN’s Jake Tapper Friday. “What they've done is opened up everything as if nothing had ever happened there and you and I could be talking probably in eight to 10 weeks, and I will likely bet that Florida will be a house on fire. “

Trump, who has been battling Covid-19 for the past week, is heading to Florida Monday for a campaign rally.

Osterholm said it’s probably not a good idea to hold a rally in the state right now, even if it’s held outside. The state has reported 2,900 new infections in the past day, according to Johns Hopkins University.

“The challenge we have is helping the American people understand if you bring people together, even when they're outdoors, it's less risk of transmission being close together outdoors, but it's surely not zero," he said.

Trump is also planning an outdoor gathering at the White House Saturday and said he’ll address the crowd from a balcony.

Osterholm said attending that event isn’t a good idea either.

“I wouldn't go right now because I think the White House itself has a fair number of infections.”

Trump was just released from the hospital Monday and other administration staffers are still battling the virus.

CNN's trademark hyperbole. "Battling Covid". Seriously. It's a cold. People that have cancer are "Battling Cancer". CNN is insulting people that are dealing with serious life threatening illness. Wonder what Trump is using for his 'battle'? Chicken soup, brandy with honey, hot baths with Melania? Yah, this is a real battle.

Trump was given 2 experimental drugs, Remd......, and regeneron. That is ontop of normal FDA approved treatments. None of his treatments involve; HCQ,chicken soup,honey, hot baths.

Right because over 210,000 die of "colds."

Correction: 210,000 die with "colds."

Correlation does not mean causality, unless you are thinking of religious faith

Yup 210K dead Americans from C-19.

Over 1 million worldwide.

Over 10 million already if it had been treated as "just another cold" or flu season.

 

[basketcase]

Sadly as the rest of the world is dealing with the 2nd wave, the US never left the 1st.

 

[glamphotographer]

Just today Trump held a rally in Florida with hundreds of people packed together with very few masks. I saw a lots (old) people with grey hair. No more hospital beds left in Florida for them.

Only 6% of those deaths in the USA died from COVID alone, the rest had numerous co morbidities. And what was the average age of those dead??? 80+

Stop that bullshit will you. if you die now at 80 instead of 90 would you like it? if you had a co morbidity would you like to die 5,10 or maybe 15 years earlier?

Besides CDC estimate the actual death toll to be much more then reported.

So what. The fact remains that C-19 has killed over a million people prematurely.

It will also kill many more & 10 million would already be dead without safety measures or treating it as "just another flu" which it is not.

You should be furious with the CCP, but instead you rage about Trump.

That makes no sense.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Where did i ever even refer to Trump, let alone "rage about" him. Certainly not in my remarks you quoted in your response.

 

[basketcase]

Seems to me, China and Trump followed the exact same game plan; cover-ups and pretending it's not there. China was double dealing though. They downplayed it internationally but were acting on it at home. Trump on the other hand has been consistent in trying to pretend its not real.

Co-morbidity does not mean that the person died of those things. It means that people with those co-morbidities are more likely to acquire the virus. The virus can do the rest.

Being overweight is a co-morbidity. Do think somebody who is 40 pounds overweight is dying from being fat and not the virus.

Comorbidity means that they have more than one disorder.
In medicine, comorbidity is the presence of one or more additional conditions often co-occurring (that is, concomitant or concurrent with) with a primary condition. Comorbidity describes the effect of all other conditions an individual patient might have other than the primary condition of interest, and can be physiological or psychological. In the context of mental health, comorbidity often refers to disorders that are often coexistent with each other, such as depression and anxiety disorders.

Clearly China is telling trump to hold packed rallies, and telling Ron DeSantis to totally open up Florida.

Moronic post.

 

[wazup]

Not much came of Sturgis, there was suppose to be mass deaths, only a few infections i believe, the data seemed to be overestimated to fir the narrative. Don't the US hospitals get federal funding for each covid related death?

A study by Oxford University has also found that rioters are immune to covid.

Does that mean that peaceful protestors are not immune? Who knew?
