So, Fro, give me your prediction for Florida, rather than just being snarky.


We should be able to outscore the Rebs.  Kiffin will get them some scores, but I'm not worried.  The Gators don't have a good history in Oxford, though.

either OAM is a complete idiot or he is still being snarky
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I would simply appreciate an answer for what will happen in Florida, due to being deemed open.

We stopped for lunch yesterday and ate inside. The place was seating every-other-table and everyone was wearing masks. Everywhere we went (3 furniture stores, Home Depot, Publix, Best Buy), people were wearing masks.

This is commonplace here, at least where we live, and it will continue to be commonplace.

My guess is there will be a smallish bump in cases over the next month with school being back and folks getting more relaxed and perhaps being indoors a bit more in public.  Folks will scream bloody murder, then tighten up a bit, and then the case rate will start to ebb again.

The newly reported case rate has fallen from around 10,000 per day mid-July to around 2,500-3,000 per day now, and fairly stable.  In July, it was looking bad, like it was about to really blow up, but it didn't happen.

I do not agree that governor's should shut the economy down under these circumstances.  Hopefully, people will continue to take precautions generally speaking.

Florida is running an average of around 50K tests per day now, and sitting at a positivity rate of a little more than 4% positive. I consider this a good sign.

My zip code has less than 5 cases right now.

Fingers crossed for them.  They might fare better than other places, since they had a much heavier first wave.  For their sakes I hope so!

I see some models predicting an upsurge in October.  I am not sure on what that is based really.

France already is going up steadily, if that doesn't peak soon they will probably shut it down again.

Does anyone know how Sweden is doing?

I've read the IHME model that was predicting 400K total deaths by the end of the year was based on the assumption that there is a seasonal element.

What is the evidence this has some seasonality to it?

NOW you're interested in evidence?   


I give up.

I've been interested in evidence most of my life, including things like what is happening in Sweden.

I don't just form a conclusion based on my politics or what I WANT to be true and then seek evidence to support that, and ignore anything that doesn't fit.

You'd have to ask IHME. I'm just the messenger.
