>>>Yupp, openly arguing Trump preference is stigmatized, so current projections are (again) skewed.

>BTW, the UK Guardian has taken to publishing hostile articles against Jacinda Ardern, leader of NZ's most popular government in at least 50 years who presided over a series of COVID lockdowns. My view always was that if lockdown is a medical response, it needs the same scientific challenge as any other medical response. If it were a medication we'd all demand to know side effects, efficacy, all the standard stuff. The UK has started to produce this sort of material and it's looking ugly. Hence the tall poppy attacks on Ardern. But back to the US: I wonder whether people loudly calling others hateful murderers for not supporting lockdowns, will be as harsh on themselves if the reality turns out the other way around,
John,
Don't you realize that we will all die from COVID-19 if we don't lock everything down? I read it on the internet and saw it in the papers so it must be true.
Some stuff from Florida:
The attachments show the current Corona-19 status in Florida-

NOW from around the state:(Yesterday)
News4 Jacksonville
The additional deaths Saturday included one added in Duval County, which has now reported 513 total, and two in St. Johns County, which has now reported 80 deaths since March. The added death in Duval County involved an 85-year-old whose case was first counted July 16.

Local10 Miami
New deaths confirmed in the past 24 hours include three in Miami-Dade County, one in Broward and one in Palm Beach County.

And the headline today from Local10
"Positivity rate nears 6%"
Do you suppose this has anything to do with the fact that yesterday was Sunday and only 56,877 were tested v. 121,058 on Friday and that the population that were tested on Sunday had a more likely reason to be tested?
