We should have been capturing the "recovered" number from the total positive COVID-19 cases all along--so we would all know better how many active cases are walking around Escambia County. But we're not doing this locally even though I've asked repeatedly why not, as other places are. We should also, now more than ever, be capturing the percentage of "asymptomatic" citizens that get tested and pop positive. But I'm being told this isn't a data point being captured. But why not though? These are two metrics we should be capturing.... |
We had a brief presentation on COVID-19 from our health department last Thursday at our BCC meeting. We were given an update on local cases and numbers, and also some statewide data.
The usual questions were asked. Yes, yes--wear masks and wash hands.
The board pushed for Saturday testing--and yes we got that done.
I had two simple questions for Marie Mott, the new director of the health department locally.
#1--when we test asymptomatic individuals locally--is someone capturing the % of these that are actually positive? She said she'd check and find out.
#2--where can citizens turn if they develop symptoms on the weekend and want to get a rapid test?
Yesterday I received a response via email. from the email:
"The following is in response to the questions that you had asked.
Regarding numbers or percentages of asymptomatic persons being tested, it appears that there is not a way to determine what percentage of individuals seeking testing are asymptomatic. If I learn otherwise, I will share accordingly.
Regarding phone resources for COVID questions, there does
continue to be a 24/7 call center for COVID-19 (866-779-6121) as well as an
email address (covid-19@flhealth.gov)
– both of which can be found ‘above the fold’ at FloridaHealthCOVID-19.gov."
To which I responded:
"Thanks for the response. I’m wondering why we cannot collect this data (% of citizens presenting for testing asymptomatically who subsequently test positive for COVID) locally at our test site(s) though?
I wonder if contact tracing is really necessary. I just assume everyone has it and I don't want it.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I watched Contagion the other Pandemic movies and even videos out of China in January where the funeral homes were over run and people were falling out in the streets and thought the drones would lock down the zombies here.. really.
So now the world count is up and if I turned off the news.. I would be just fine.. Think I will anyway except for headlines..
So far I have not had it nor know personally OF anyone who has.
I was socially distancing when "socially distancing" wasn't cool ..plus I have never had the flu ..ever, or a even cold in bout 30 years..
Maybe washing hands and serial monogamy works.
Question everything.
What happened last Friday the 13 in March?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous--I believe hand washing and distancing are powerful. But I do believe we need a better idea of the scope of the problem with more and better data to include a "recovered" number as a counterbalance to the topline "number of infections" figure that does not accurately capture the current state of the problem (e.g. a large percentage of that nearly 15,000 figure locally have "cleared" the virus)
ReplyDeleteJP Sears on facebook has some great humorous videos about critical thinking and even the legal processes in the recounts and election challenges in 2020 election.
ReplyDeleteSidney Powell on Twitter is on fire.
Great we have a governor not supporting lock downs.
Yes I saw you asked for the "recovered' data point. The call to take the total minus the deaths may be about as good as CK can do.
Perhaps starting in 2021 it would help and track the positives per individual. not just total positives tests, plus recovery rate would be a better reflection of what is going on.
Look forward to the vaccine. I am one that will take it and still wear a mask etc for a while. BIC.
Great you came out and publicly stated you do not support the lockdowns. Don't let the crazy woman with the fake profile deter you. Tar Baby.
ReplyDeleteShe groups all Trump supporters in one group and them pours on the hate like she does to Underhill. The hate is tangible in her posts. She will never win D2. No one wants a communist on the board.
Congrats to the three incumbents on the BOCC.
The Silent Majority is watching.
Need to do a bit of research into The Great Reset and Globalist agenda

Are you on canvassing board?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMDtOtGFrYg
There is much to keep up with. They have the affidavit from the canvassing board in Wayne County. Death threats to certify under duress. Late last night they wanted to resend but could not by the law.
ReplyDeleteLocally some one still pushing disinformation. We see you.
These people are vile.
Can you imagine the gnashing of teeth if we have a contingent election in the House of Representatives. HAHA. I hope so. Poetic Justice.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Representative Jim Jordan and Representative James Comer have called for immediate Congressional investigation in the 2020 election.
Representative Comer tweeted “the 2020 election was full of chaos. Congressional oversight is needed for the American people to have faith and integrity in our election.”

It is beyond me the people willing to support the voter fraud and election discrepancies in this country to put into position a globalist that wants to ruin their own country for personal means. How can they look themselves in the mirror Maybe they don't.

"All I hope for is Biden gets the same respect and support that the current one received, no more, no less.
ReplyDeleteHere is my issue with the whole, “let us all be a United States again” that we heard from Joe Biden.
For the last 4+ years, the Democrats have gone scorched earth. You have salted the fields and now you want to grow crops.
The problem is 72+ million of us have memories longer than a hamster.
We remember the women’s march (vagina hats and all) the day after inauguration.
We remember the 4 years of attacks and impeachments
We remember “not our president” and the “Resistance…”
We remember Maxie Walters telling followers to harass us in restaurants.
We remember the Presidents spokesperson being kicked out a restaurant.
We remember hundreds of Trump supporters physically attacked.
We remember Trump supporters getting Doxed, and fired from jobs.
We remember riots, and looting
We remember “a comedian” holding up the President’s severed head
We remember a play in Central park paid with public funding, showing the killing of President Trump
We remember Robert de Niro yelling “F" Trump” at the Tony’s and getting a standing ovation.
We remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union Address.
We remember the total in the tank move on the mainstream media
We remember the non-stop and live fact checking on our President and his supporters.
We remember non-stop in your face lies and open cover-ups from the media.
We remember the President and his staff being spied on.
We remember five Senators shot on a ballfield.
We remember every so-called comedy show turn into nothing but Trump hate fest.
We remember 95% negative coverage in the news.
We remember the state governors asking and getting everything they ask for and then blaming Trump for their problems.
We remember a Trump top aid verbally assaulted in two DC restaurants.
We remember people banging on the Supreme Court doors.
We remember that we were called every name in the book for supporting President Trump.
We remember that Hollywood said they would leave after Trump was elected but they stayed.
This list is endless, but you get the idea.
My friends will be my friends, but a party that has been on the attack for 4 long years does not get a free pass with me!
Copy and paste because FB wouldn't let me share."
WE MUST ensure our elections are fair and there was no fraud.
I think precincts have shredded envelopes and can not verify signature.
I think Trump will stay in the white house and many slippery politicians and news media are playing both sides of the fence.
This isn't over.
sign off, enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas..
and don't talk to idiots.
The plot thickens..lol
ReplyDeleteSo you don't get accused of spreading disinformation. https://www.dominionvoting.com
ReplyDeleteOne thing-- this has been unusual..
last one, there is an article in the Washington Examiner that names the person who sign the affidavit in GA and there is a letter signed by I think 6 congress people that asked for an investigation, so it's not all Qanon bs some try to use locally to discredit and shut down free spech, but most already know that.
ReplyDeleteI see you seem to be laying low on the national politics. I don't fault you for that.
thxs.
There is plenty of national chatter elsewhere as most have moved away from facebook because of the leftist attack goon squads that dox and scorn and shame and report and just nasty behavior and bad manners all around.
This is the website twitter blocked. It has the lawsuit info filed in GA. and other links to some of the legal challenges in place during the unsettled contested election.
ReplyDeletehttps://defendingtherepublic.org/
Funny how they are letting the faux Biden transition team show their hand. Note Israel already released they plan to strike Iran and faux new administration wants back into NATO and the idiot Paris accord.
Twitter also deleted a G article about the business deals and traced the company back to a certain CCP member. gnews.org/577635/
Of course Epoch Times is reporting on the cases and challenges.
so biden quoted the "palmist--- from the book of palms". did you see that thanksgiving shyteshow? National embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteJean D Arc in the comments section is spot on. Contingent election in the House Jan 6.
ReplyDeleteOf course the leftists will call it a Coup. It's not. USA The Constitution and the Republic will live on.

I know you must be having interesting conversation with your brother. (Law)
ReplyDeleteI've become interested in constitution law myself, started with the Bay View Cross suit. Sorry if I'm putting too much down here, haven't found anyone locally to discuss this that isn't a real Ahole.
This is also interesting from that point..SCOTUS

"The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution, is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803)."
I'm enjoying watching Levin's meltdown about PA supreme court decision tonite..
Following all this with interest..
