I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Wear a mask when in public and try your best to stay six feet apart. My experience at most grocery stores is that about 30% of shoppers are wearing masks, very few of the cashiers are wearing masks unless it’s company policy, and people will get right up on you or reach around you to get something they want/need without regard to social distancing. If I had a dollar for every dirty look I’ve given these individuals, I’d be a millionaire by now. Just use good common sense and be respectful of others. That would go a long way towards stamping this out. Not to mention washing your hands/sanitizing them and keeping them out of your eyes and off your face unless they are CLEAN.
Is there any data determining whether people test positive have been riding on ECAT Mass-transit? If it’s transmitted person-to-person, getting on and off the bus between seats is less than 6ft.
We know pretty much the number of people that have died of the Virus in Florida because they are dead. A lot have died in nursing homes. We know how many people has been tested cause they have the Virus cause they were tested. I have some questions, have you had the Virus and got over it and not been tested and not reported? How do you know you don’t have the Virus if you have not been tested? Have you been tested? How many got the virus and took it back home to their stats and not reported here? How many have been hospitalized and released? How many people had the flu and not reported? So ,35 deaths and of those 27 have been long term care patients and workers. So, to claim 4% and 40 times higher than the flu is stretching the facts and not correct.
For those not doing the math at home, according to the numbers released by the state and county and published here, the fatality rate of covid-19 in Florida continues to be about 4%, 40 times deadlier than the flu. Maybe think about that if you’re heading to the bar this weekend.
