- South Florida hospitalizations for Covid-19 are now eclipsing the peaks reached in mid-April. Miami-Dade on Wednesday had 981 people hospitalized with the virus, surpassing an April 17 peak of 787. Broward County had 391 Covid patients in hospitals, nearing its peak of 413 on April 7. Palm Beach County, with 394 people hospitalized with the virus, has far exceeded a peak of 245 cases on April 20.
- In Broward County, more Covid-19 patients fill hospital beds each day for the last week, but overall people are sicker in Palm Beach County, where hospitalizations, intensive care and ventilator use for those in critical need have been on the increase since mid-May.
- Palm Beach County has consistently had the highest percentage of Covid-19 patients in intensive care, accounting for about 33 percent of the county’s hospital patients. In Broward and Miami-Dade those numbers are 28 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
- All three South Florida counties have reported consistently higher daily hospitalizations from the virus since June 12.
- Miami-Dade has seen a sharp rise in infected patients on ventilators this week as more patients are in ICU beds.
- Broward County hospitals have been admitting more patients with the virus than discharging them since June 4.
How many are sick and how sick are they? Here’s the South Florida COVID-19 hospitalization data the state won’t show you.
As new COVID-19 cases in the state hit record highs daily, hospitalizations climb and intensive care beds fill, leaders are becoming increasingly anxious about whether the infection will overtax th…

I'll race you. Except we don't have antibody tests, so I'll probably never know if I get it.
Do you actually think that was the context of the statement?
I’m afraid I do.
Sorry not sorry, but I really do think that.
He is a dangerous fool.
So if you test more would you expect your case number to go up or down?
I heard an interesting stat today.
One of the UK labs making a vaccine that is being tested and relatively close to market.
Relatively.
Has realised that it also needs to be scaled up to such an extant that it has factored in load sizes.
They are working on a 2 litre bottle that contains 2 million doses.
thats pretty amazing if it works.

well the idea is you test and test until the number goes down.
its just simple maths.
If the number is rising then you need to act.
as the number goes down in areas you can control the R rate.
its very basic stuff mate.
For the sake of conversation could you just answer the direct question?
I did answer it.
The more you test the more accurate the amount of cases you have.
Its about the volume of tests.
Its about knowledge.
I don't know what else to say?
You can test a million and get ten cases. Good.
You can test a million and get 500k cases. Bad.
What are you not getting?
Covid isn't a democrat or a Republican.
It just is.
Slowing down the tests doesn't stop it.
No, you didn't.
I asked if you'd expect cases to go up or down with increased testing. There are only 2 answers to that question.
Hmmmmm
OK. One more time.
If you test more. You get a better picture of what is going on.
If you test less you get less of a handle of who is infected.
What do you want me to say?
It's hilarious to watch you try to back pedal when you realize you've misstepped.

Just hit the daily record again, Yanks!
What on earth are your people doing here?
'Major Incident' Declared In Bournemouth As Thousands Flock To Beaches
Come on UK, don't muck it up.
You were starting to do so well... sheesh.
This is almost

We're already on the comeback trail, mate, don't you worry. New Yorkers were once laughing at you, and now look at them. We are just conserving cardio and playing the long game.
We've had like a 30 case spike and everybody is already blaming it on Muslims and other minority groups. Once this fully ramps up, race relations in the US are going to look like an episode of Sesame Street compared to here. You might be able to out-corona Australia, but you won't be able to out-racism Australia.
