Florida forecast to have 83,000 covid cases per day by August 9

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.abcactionnews.com/news/coronavirus/fla-forecast-to-report-more-than-83-000-new-cases-of-covid-per-day-by-aug-9%3f_amp=true

TAMPA, Fla. — As Florida continues to see a surge in COVID-19 cases from the delta variant, the latest forecast from the Mayo Clinic offers up a sobering look at what is likely coming for the state just one day before school starts.

According to the Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 forecast tool, almost all of Florida will have cases above 100 per 100,000 and most of the counties around Tampa will be reporting more than 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 per day.

(Note: The forecast numbers have an upper and lower range. The numbers reported here are the average of the range.)

Statewide, the Mayo Clinic forecast tool said Florida will be reporting a seven-day rolling average of 49,398 cases of COVID-19 per day by August 9, a 132% increase from the current numbers. The overall range showed Florida could be reporting just 31,357 cases on the low end or 83,548 on the high end.

We know the governor is involved in massive fraud as FL cases go unreported.

hope none suffer too much.

But I feel a lot of negative feelings towards those who are willfully unvaccinated. Not the innocent kids or people who for some reason can’t take a vaccine, but for the conspiracy theory/I don’t trust the government/there are microchips in vaccines crowd.

How much empathy are we supposed to have for people who selfishly put others at risk?

Just how much compassion can we have for those who have crazy ideas and willfully are walking coronavirus spreaders who couldn't care less if they give it to others?

For causing the spikes in Florida and Texas, that’s why their governors are deploying troops and officers”.

I’m not for violence but that was almost enough for me.
