We've been steadily trending upward over the last week in positive percentage of new cases with a new high of 16% from new cases yesterday. That resulted in 5,437 new cases, however 3,697 were from people 44 and under (68%) and 1,227 were from people 45 - 64 (23%). The bulk of the new cases is inconsequential to both hospitalizations and expected deaths.
Obviously more people with the virus could lead to more spread in the high risk population which we are starting to see a bit. However, I'm not convinced these cases didn't exist previously and were just never caught due to the ultra restrictive testing parameters. Even if we hit worst case scenario at 400k positive cases we will be around 12k deaths in FL compared to NY, who the revisionist historians are already commending on their approach and swift actions, has 32k deaths with the same amount of cases.
It may be a bumpy ride but maybe we should be hoping for 100% positive where everybody who gets tested gets it. If everyone has it we can get back to normal life and finally shut up all these doomsayers.
