This Is Over

We're down to a 30 day doubling rate.

This is over.

With 44 thousand or so positive tests and under 2 thousand deaths among a 25 million plus population in Florida.

The number of people getting tested is slowing down even if the daily rate of new cases is running about the same.

The pattern of the infections tracks similarly to other influenza like infections and the death rate here wasn't really worse than an above average flu season.

That doesn't make it "just like the flu" but it does inform us that we could have weathered it out without all the closures.

Again, if it escaped in October, we really did weather it out for most of it.  The shape of the infection curve in that case also matches other historical influenza like viruii.

Let's get going on that economy!  I want to start living like an American again, not some fearful European Communist.

    Well said. Meanwhile the powers-that-be continue to trample on the Constitution of both the State of Florida and of the United States of America 'for the children.'

    What part of 'for the children' does adding 3 trillion more of debt upon their shoulders while going full Venezuela actually help... the children?
