This isn’t good

 

I've been hearing this more and more. Perhaps the virus has mutated more?

Not 50% fully vaccinated, the report shows only 32% fully vaccinated so that's why hospitalizations are up compare to New York that has 71% fully vaccinated and the hospitalizations are low. 

Even 32 percent. Still troubling to be breaking hospitalizations records

Despite 50 percent fully vaccinated Florida continues to break hospitalizations records. This variant is something serious 

Florida breaks record again

Including children that can't get it? If so, that's a shady way of presenting the data. 

Well being that children under 12 are getting sick now not really shady at all

I thought we were at 70% for adults, nationwide? Supposedly that was a Biden Admin goal for July 4th, that we met a little late? Maybe I'm confusing metrics.

I think this is for the whole population

Do you have hospitalization data?

Really? So what are the alternatives given what is known using an intelligent application of risk tolerance?  Masks forever? Economies hobbled indefinately with various restrictions? That's what the media and certain other entities are driving us towards.  Pretty much that cure is worse, and certainly more absurd, than the disease, long term.  

We can't overwhelm indefinitely either...

It's widely accepted fact that nearly 95 percent (or even higher) of current hospitalizations are unvaccinated.  I have enough friends working in the hospitals to confirm this first hand with them.  The vaccine absolutely lessens severity to a very significant degree.  How do you even question that at this point? There is a mountain of data to back it up, but I'm going to assume you don't trust the CDC so I'll save my breath.

And to Syrmax, since when did this become completely about deaths.  I have virtually no fear of dying from covid, but I know more than enough long haulers to know that the risk of covid runs much deeper than just dying.  This thing ****s with the heart, nerves, brain, lungs, sense of taste and smell.  It's pretty alarming.  I don't understand people who want to just pretend this isnt a scary new virus.  I fully think it was produced in a lab which makes it even more concerning.  

You guys are being ridiculous.

Thank you. People are just being stubbornly stupid. Also the delta variant affects kids far more than the original virus

I really hope that a good nado threat could arise on either Sunday or Monday. I'm willing to drive through Iowa if I have to, but it's time

Can see how a tornado threat could develop but still a couple days away

This is pretty scary.

I'm really worried about the kids. They are sitting ducks right now

Severe weather looks possible this weekend 

Might as well reopen the covid thread. Starting to get interesting with these mandates

Edit. This is starting to become very demoralizing seeing hospitalizations surge like they are. As we have learned before once a surge starts you really just have to let it play out

It looks like Europe stole our severe weather, along with those greasy Canucks. This is from Trento, Italy, where I lived for a few years. Craziness.

At least this variant took over in the US now and not a year ago or even 6 months ago.  That would've been really bad.

That's a very good point. Probably would have reached unthinkable levels

Edit. Getting close to 100k cases/day. Will be interesting to see if hospitalizations and unfortunately deaths surge

Storms developing to my north

Florida with over 17k cases

Looks like the mcs will dive southwest of guidance. Fairly typical 

These storms are looking beefy 

If a tornado forms in this environment watch out.
