The Great State of Florida.
Home of Florida-Man.
1,007 active cases of Wu Ping Cough.
13 deaths.
That means the CFR is presently running 1.3%.
Out of a population of 21.5 million people (not counting our snowbirds and tourists) a whopping 11,270 people have been tested.
The "what we don't know" is still looming large in the room.
But I am on the side that thinks that, thanks to Chinese lies, it's really been spreading since early December.
That would mean that way more people than 1,007 have been exposed and either caught it, or not, and very few have shown enough symptoms to bother to get checked.
We're not out of the woods, by any means, but I am thinking that shutting down the state might have been a massive overreaction.
The kind of massive overreaction that our "friends' Aesop and Peter both prayed hard for.
I hope that Dante was right.

We are finally doing, now, what should have been done in Communist China in December.
ReplyDeleteSaw an article that the reason the Wuhan Whoo-hoos (I loved the Wu Ping Cough reference) was originally detected was that it presented as an interstitial pneumonia, which takes far more and longer care than normal lobar or bronco pneumonia (inside the tissues rather than in the lobes or bronchials.) Interstitial pneumonia is more found in people who have been around fine-particles such as found in coal mines, or in smog.
All of which would have been nice to know right off the bat.
As to the panicked overreaction here that other bloggers prayed for? Well. Yeah. Hmmmm.... I understand Greek-boy wanting society to tank and become more and more californiated, as I am believing that that one is actually an agent of californation, and not of freedom. Peter? I think he got stampeded.
