It's looking horrible. 260 dead in FL in the last week, total. The last higher total was 272 on June 2nd. The worst week every was 336, on April 23rd. Deaths are the bottom line, and we don't know how much worse it will get because these numbers are from up to 3 weeks ago. There is a direct connection with reopening too soon and what is happening. Our leaders are idiots.
Guess you don’t stay up on current events...the tri-state area curve has been severely flattened while Sunbelt states are now peaking. The three governors don’t want to undo their progress.
Crowd size will be severely reduced from the normal 150K throng. No specific data was released but KY restaurants are just now allowed 50% occupancy. I doubt Churchill Downs will reach 1/3 their normal crowd. Add in the comfort factor of 1st Saturday in May >>> 1st Saturday in September in steamy Louisville.
You have to be prepared for multiple players to test positive before, during, and after the tournament.
No. 46 deaths in FL yesterday. 20 in NY State. With the average lag between case count and fatalities, FL’s numbers will jump in July as every day in the last half of June has set records for case counts. NYS’s numbers will continue downward as long as people are more sensible in social behavior as they reopen. Hopefully, no 2-dozen positives Incidents like from the one bar in Jacksonville about two weeks ago.

Yes, time will tell.
“If you’re going to do that with the death rate, you should be prepared to look at the death rate in a month or so,” said William Hanage, an epidemiologist at Harvard’s school of public health. “You might not find it so attractive.”
Why Trump’s focus on falling death rates could be dangerous
Death rates tell nothing about the current spread of the virus and only offer a snapshot of where the country was roughly three weeks ago.

For a while there was even hope that the IFR was much lower than the now estimated 0.5-1%, unfortunately that's the way the cookie crumbled
So you’re trusting the data from the state government that fired their top data specialist on May 18 for refusing to fudge numbers that showed only two of FL’s 67 counties were meeting reopening portals? Google Rebekah Jones and review her privately posted dashboard on the real numbers. Then report back to us if you’re still optimistic about our trend.
Yesterday 27 people died in New York, about 19.5 million people
Rebekah's site says 3,423 dead in FL
Agree. 100%.
AdriaDjocovid irresponsible. They had already relaxed the entourage size and hotel site perimeter thanks to bellyaching from Number One, who then embarrassed the sport with his denial motivated lackadaisical approach to sensible behavior.
I agree. It's the people less able to battle covid that are put at risk.
There is an explosion of infection in FL among young people. Two 17 year old kids died recently, so the myth that young people are immune to this has been busted again. I hope the USO can go forward somehow, but I fear it is an impossibility.
the northeast of the country has had it bad for many reasons. the biggest is being first. we had states bidding up prices on scarce items that could easily have been made available if our federal leadership listened to experts or simply watched the dreaded media in january and saw what was clearly coming. nj is the most densely populated state.. ny has nyc and draws commuters and visitors from nearby states on a disney type level everyday- and the virus spread quickly and easily while the president lied and confused the people. governors here did a very admirable job in spite of the president. when an accurate account is finally made in a few years it will only make this mess horribly worse than it actually is now. the initial reaction from donald was a joke and now he says that testing creates cases and that he is de-funding testing. amazing. idiot.
Or 32... if some New York cab drivers cd take some slots...Maybe we will get a 64 player draw
How forking infinitesimal is it if it happens to you and you are one of those 17 year olds? Or someone almost that young?
Well yes, FL has twice the population, but I don't know why we are talking about that when population is already baked into the cake when you talk about deaths per million.
Maybe we will get a 64 player draw
Skip The Real Slam at Flushing??? Bla.s.sphemy!
