Dawns figures are right except for she’s not including all the people that have it that has not been tested yet. And we know that’s a lot of people that have the virus that either got well or still have it and not gonna die.
Dawn is getting her figures based on the population of Florida. I also think it’s a more accurate way to determine the danger of this virus. It’s not “breaking” news that people with a highly compromised immune system and bedridden patients are susceptible to catching this or any other disease. Stomach viruses are often deadly to this segment in our population. The problem is our citizens are not disciplined. Nothing wrong with beaches being open – but dang it – don’t have mass gatherings. Keep social distancing if at all possible, wear face coverings when impossible to do so, and watch your personal hygiene.
30,839 x 3.42%= 105,469.38. 30,839 x .034= 1048.52.
Cindy, 30,839 x 3.42% = 105,469.38. 30,839 ×.034 is 1,048.52.
1055÷30839 = 0.0342 which is 3.42%
Dan is right. 30,839 x 3.42% is 1054.69 or 1055
Mr. Casey,
I thinking Dawns figure is right.
Regarding Dawn’s comment on figures. Using those figures, 30839 positive with 1055 dead, I come out with 3.42%, a figure a hundred times higher. 3 and a half people, nearly, out of a hundred.
People please do the math. The state of Florida has 30,839 positive tests, with 1,055 deaths. That’s a death rate of .034 % of people who contract this virus. Pretty much the same as flu. Why shut down society for something only as deadly as our common flu? What’s really going on?
DIY stores full of people with no masks and no gloves. Why can’t businesses just say no. No mask, no entry. One can make no-sew masks easily from t-shirts very easily. If you can man a door and swipe carts you can rent a guard to stay at the door to handle the disgruntles, yep, disgruntles. Jerky people who disregard others.
We have all these cases what does this say? It says that people at being STUPID this is for real people.i know everyone is tired of being quarantine..but until this is over do what u gotta do to stop it.even if u think “oh i wont get it” someone u love might.we gotta stop this so please stay quarantine and itll be over. I think opening the beaches is a very bad idea.just saying
