FSG pontificated that the media is responsible for the shutdown and small businesses going out of business - that's where the conversation stemmed from.

Yes, we've now shuttered our society for a disease that is killing 17 per 1 million in the population. Meanwhile it's being portrayed as the New Black Death.

What a bizarre comment.

Let's pretend we have a magnitude 10 Earthquake on the West Coast that makes the entire West Coast slip in to the Pacific Ocean killing millions.  Would this comment make sense:

Next year the CDC will report a massive drop in the no. of Americans dying of heart disease, cancer, diabetes,  respiratory diseases, etc. Many of these deaths including natural causes will now be counted as earthquake. #CDC #earthquake

I'm not surprised you failed to see the distinction.  Deaths with coronavirus vs deaths from coronavirus.  She's suggesting that someone who tests positive of coronavirus and has no symptoms and then dies of a heart attack could be classified as a coronavirus death.  Even if no causal link is determined, they could still be thrown in with deaths from coronavirus despite their death being from a preexisting condition.  And her tweet preceding the one posted makes it clear this is what she was referring to.  Nice try though.

Pretty bizarre reply. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by the number of folks with simple deductive reasoning skills.

In any case, the media was all over this New Orleans woman and her dying while waiting for her COVID test results. Turns out both came back negative. But like most of the data the states are putting out, they'll just throw it under coronavirus related.

17 of my immediate family members has tested positive which 3 of them are dead and another 6 are critical. 

This is an airborne pathogen that is absolutely destroying compact urban areas. Jacksonville and other cities or municipalities are fortunate to have a spread out population where C-19 cannot spread so quickly.

My condolences to you and your family, JFC. That's truly tragic. 

I seem to recall you are from New York. Is this where your stricken family members are?

Thank you for the support.

Yes, I’m from Brooklyn and the majority of my mother’s side is in Queens where the infections and deaths are. My father is Brooklyn and right now it’s right below the pandemic threshold.

PSA: I know this board has mostly Jags fans living in Jax and nearby surrounding areas, but for those who live in elsewhere and are in more dense populations please visit your primary physician first before going to the hospital. What I’m hearing going on is people who have minor symptoms are going to the ER which is making their symptoms unnecessarily worse causing a needless stay, and contributing to the overcrowding. 

Thank you to everyone else for your support it’s greatly appreciated.

Tell people to call ahead before they go to any doctor or hospital. They will usually divert you to an appropriate care setting to keep COVID away from non CIVID cases.

My condolences and best wishes to you and your people JFC, stay safe so we can get back to arguing soon!

According to the Fl Dept of health, we were at 9008 cases as of 630 am when I checked.  

But the us numbers match what I’m seeing

I’ve got a question about the whole “mask” or “no mask” debate. Obviously, it’s better than nothing. But all the Dr’s that I see interviewed say it’ll help prevent someone from spreading it, but not getting it. Why wouldn’t it go both ways? I’m sure there is probably a good reason or answer. I’m just wondering what that reason is
