    Certainly positive news even with all the caveats of being a weekend number. I am trying to stay positive and I’m not going to let the UK mutation freak me out too much


  2. - walker - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 12:38 pm:

    OK. Trending back from the edge.

    Now everybody please be as responsible as we generally were during the Thanksgiving holiday.


  3. - Anon y mouse - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 1:00 pm:

    Mitigation (is/ appears to be) working (again)! Stand by for when these efforts do not work…soon.


  4. - Cool Papa Bell - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 1:26 pm:

    Admin needs to reward those who have abided by the mitigations and roll back Tier 3 in regions that have made it. Set January 2 as the date.


  5. - Cermak Dr. - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 1:35 pm:

    I am most concerned with the upcoming holidays. Testing seems to be going down and many stayed home for Thanksgiving. I think some still see it as a joke and are tired. I am looking for a spike after the New Year from New Years eve parties. Praying for none though. Once we get through that period we should be in much better shape.


  6. - Ares - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 2:50 pm:

    Mitigation works.


  7. - Shemp - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 4:36 pm:

    How much does mitigation work is the question. In some places, there are a lot of businesses (bars/restaurants) bucking the rules and seeing declines. Fingers crossed, but it’s hard to trust data when it’s been manipulated so much to serve an end goal. When you see bars/restaurants are single digit percentage spreader, it’s hard to swallow the pill.


  8. - Taxedoutwest - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 5:32 pm:

    FL has no mitigation, 2X the population, and basically the same numbers the last 8 weeks give or take blips in both states. (Of course, “season” begins this week, so we shall see), so maybe this is the normal ebbs and flows of a typical virus. FL’s numbers are also skewed from 3 counties (Broward, Dade and Orange) to the high side. The numbers are on WINK news link to FL DOH for the non-believers. Im still not being foolish, but I am also supporting restaurants that have taken precautions….and FL isn’t $137B in pension debt.


  9. - lake county democrat - Monday, Dec 21, 20 @ 6:33 pm:

    Florida also tracks the “climate weather” trends - when it got hot in summer and everyone fled to AC/shut windows/etc. they spiked.
