Who says we have to wait until August for the next Covid wave. In Florida, we're in it.

1. We are still in the first wave

It's a fallacy to think that we've passed that threshold.

Actually, what we're seeing now is the second surge of the first wave. It will be devastating.

The "second wave" will occur sometime around October. It will also have several surges.

In short, we're fucked unless we're careful.

Wear your mask. Don't touch your face. Wash your hands and face often.

2. I see. We're in the first wave for Florida.

New York is at the end of their first wave. Right?

6. Dude, I'm a musician, not a physician

But I have a logical mind.

This virus isn't gone and it won't be manageable until the following steps are in place:

1. Accurate tests for the Covid-19 virus. When my wife and I got our tests in upstate New York, the physician plainly stated that a positive result was 100% accurate but a negative result was only 60% accurate. We need better tests.

2. Accurate antibody tests for those who have had the disease or have been exposed but are asymptomatic.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:

3. A vaccine. This will help quell the spread more than anything else. Unfortunately, it's gonna take about a year.

So, we're fucked.

7. We are nowhere near 30 thousand. We're you joking?

8. Are you talking about cases, you are far more than that

I think it is showing around 67,000

9. Different states, different population numbers.

I'm talking about the increase in cases. It's happening now in Florida. We went from manageable to tripling in numbers.

4. It wa always a fallacy to talk about "waves"

waves depend on the virus doing better oe worse depending on temperature. There is zero evidence that this virus reduces in either infectious rate or infection severity due to temperature.

In addition, waves can happen due to human adaptive behavior where the season might provide some relief due to humans "social distancing" by going outside in warmer temps.

But again, that behavior is by no means a given.

The states that are now experiencing the worst infection and illness rates are those which really never went on lock down to begin with because the residents there assumed they were somehow superior to those "dirty libtard cities" like New York.

3. The spread of the virus is exponential from now, because of states reopening,

insufficient testing, and insufficient masks and distancing.

10. And now that we've entered hurricane season, it's going to explode

when we start sending folks into crowded evacuation shelters with storm after storm after storm....

12. The Scream!

I actually look like that more often than I care to admit, especially these days....
