This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The case count is emphatically not below prior waves. by tdiddy07

Florida's case counts are at an all time high based on NYT data accessible on their website on through google searches. And the hospitalizations are at an all time high, tracking with the case count. And neither have shown to have peaked. Based on comparing the lags from prior peak cases to peak deaths, Florida's death count would be expected to peak at a similar level as prior waves. But it does look possible that the percentage of hospitalizations that lead to death might decline. But it's hard to be too confident in that right now because we're only about to reach the expected sharp increase in deaths.

Frankly, you should stop commenting on this issue. Full stop.
