    It's interesting, on October 3rd you posted this about deaths in Florida having dropped by 95% over the last month. It said that the 7-day moving average on October 2nd was 17.

    Now if you check, the moving 7-day average on October 2nd for Florida is 152.

    Something sure seems a little fishy with Florida's numbers these days. It's almost like they're putting out a sensationalistic statement and then the numbers gradually change after the fact. But that would be misleading and dishonest so there must be a different explanation.

    Hmm, it loaded for me and I do not subscribe to the Miami Herald. Maybe they don't like dogs?

    As the delta variant spreads through Florida, data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest this could be the most serious and deadly surge in COVID-19 infections since the beginning of the pandemic.

    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.​

    Oregon man with 'long Covid' leaves hospital after 299 DAYS and says he struggles to breathe just walking across his living room
    • Alex Castro, 44, of Sandy, Oregon, spent nearly 300 days in the hospital due to complications with COVID-19
    • His hospital stay included 108 days on ECMO, a life-support machine that assists in circulating a person's blood
    • An ICU nurse said Castro 'fought like an animal' to survive and doctors are considering it a success that he can even stand up anymore
    • Castro once worked three jobs to support his family, but now cannot even walk across a room without losing his breathe
    • A new study finds that a large amount of COVID-19 survivors have had their life disrupted - like Castro - due to a mysterious condition called long Covid

    This could be of interest in the 'is catching covid and recovering better than vaccination' discussion:

    "Among COVID-19–like illness hospitalizations among adults aged ≥18 years whose previous infection or vaccination occurred 90–179 days earlier, the adjusted odds of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 among unvaccinated adults with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were 5.49-fold higher than the odds among fully vaccinated recipients of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine who had no previous documented infection (95% confidence interval = 2.75–10.99)."

    I hope you're wrong. Also I get no vibes along those lines.

    I believe this is the (amusing) thread you are referencing, where I refused to talk about what you wanted to talk about.
    It didn't have anything to do with inaccuracies in my post(s) in the thread, however. You were just mad that I wasn't interested in your topic.

    yep and many times before that where you would pick and choose and leave certain points of someones post out of your response, avoiding and/or not acknowledging certain things mentioned.
    Like some here who are incapable of saying, “ this is a good point, but then when you say this other part, i disagree with, or whatever”

    you avoid things in conversations. Makes having a real conversation impossible, so ive done the same, since i realized that was your game. The thread you referenced was the peak point.
    Im not mad. I just refuse to play those games anymore. Refuse to take anyone here seriously if they are going to dismiss/avoid certain points and only pound on the points they care too…

    yes i know that is their right. Your right ,but it doesn't change the fact that it makes real conversations, open, honest conversations, impossible…

    and actually it started in the other thread that was resurrected from 2017…aNd it was more than just you…That thread spawned the thread you referenced, in an attempt to try to have a conversation without making it personal, many proved incapable of doing so..

    If you truly feel you are trying to have an honest conversation, then try giving direct answers to questions asked. Dont spin and ask questions with questions. Dont avoid the question and respond with something unrelated to the question.

    Now im not TELLING you how to converse, only saying as long as you do those things, there is no real conversation to be had. Ive realized this long ago with more than just you here.
    So no need to respond with “ im sorry i dont meet your satisfaction”.
    Im not mad. Just clear on the level of sincerity/honesty in the discussion..
    I don't avoid a topic because it doesn't interest me. Or because someone asked me a question i find hard to answer for whatever reason.


    For example. There are several people here, if i asked straight up, do you support the right for all to peaceably protest, they will respond with some condescending manner about how supporting this is supporting racism.
    Those people will not answer the question because they know their answer conflicts with what they have already said about it.
    You should make this its own thread or just take it to DM. This conversation really has no place in this thread…
    Though i really don't have much left to say, unless you need more clarity on anything i did just say. Otherwise im just beating a dead horse. Nothing new here from my perspective. Same behavior from some that are still here now exhibiting the same. so…

    So yes Barfo!

    Thats Right!

    Got my Moderna booster yesterday evening and seem to have survived the event. I don’t recommend getting it so close to bedtime though. My sore arm did not make for a good night’s sleep.
