Florida Leads U.S. In New Covid-19 Coronavirus Cases, Yet Sticks With Weekly Not Daily Reporting


A lot can happen in a week.

From July 16 to July 23, Florida tallied 73,199 new Covid-19 coronavirus cases. That’s an over 60% increase from the previous week, based on data from Florida Health. During that time period, Florida had more new reported infections than any other state in the U.S. In fact, Florida now accounts for about one out of every five new reported Covid-19 coronavirus infections across the entire U.S.

Over the past week, Florida has had at least 282 Covid-19-related deaths as well, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. All of this has been happening in a state where less than half of the population (48.5%) is fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with vaccination rates slowing as this News4JAX segment showed:

So, things don’t seem to be going very well in Florida, unless, of course, you happen to be a virus that looks like a spiky massage ball.

^just as an aside, hover11 is right. Both the WHO and CDC are against mixing vaccines, with the only exception being AZ-->Pfizer.

The T&T govt doh even recognize people with the Pfizer/Moderna combo. Apparently them folks having issues with TTravel Pass blocking them for being 'unvaxxed'.

Yeah that's true wrt the website saying it's invalid. Does anyone have more information on this?

Remember they depend on tourism to survive so they don't really care and not in a position to discriminate like Canada and UK

There is no EMA, FDA or WHO approval for "mix-and-match" of vaccines - so far. The countries that couldn't get enough vaccine supply quickly enough authorized it.

You can be re-vaccinated after waiting three months.

Countries Move Ahead With Mix-and-Match COVID Vaccines

— Germany, Canada, and others promote heterologous approach in the face of supply challenges


The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), while not issuing any specific recommendations, promoted the mix-and-match approach in a recent press release.

"There are good scientific grounds to expect this strategy to be safe and effective when applied to vaccination against COVID-19," the press release stated. "Preliminary results from studies in Spain, Germany, and the U.K. suggest a satisfactory immune response and no safety concerns. More data are awaited shortly, and EMA will continue to review these as they become available."

The EMA and ECDC noted in the release that the approach "may allow populations to be protected more quickly and make better use of available vaccine supplies."

Neither the World Health Organization (WHO) nor the CDC endorse the approach, however.

Currently, the CDC's website states that getting an adenoviral vector vaccine after the first dose of an mRNA shot could be considered only "in limited, exceptional situations." Additionally, because the U.S. still has ample vaccine supply, the rush to start offering the mix-and-match approach isn't as much of a necessity as it is in countries that continue to struggle for access.

Yes but long and short you mixing medications without prior advice from medical practioners, I foresee this will have complications and do more harm than good

CDC to recommend that some vaccinated people wear masks indoors again

Translation: vaccines not as a good as we said they were.

If you were in Rowley's position what would you have done?

The only faux pas with respect to vaccines which Rowley has made was the delay in requesting for donations from SII like the other islands.

We might have gotten some AZ from SII which could have made a difference.

However once India's cases started to spike, it was back to relying on Covax and their paltry amounts while continuing to find a seller.

The US weren't selling until their population was fully vaxxed. EU was committed to Covax and you'd get your allotment through there. India and SII were swamped domestically. Sputnik wasn't approved. That just left China.

Rowley was between a rock and a hard place, and made the best decision he could.

Maybe if he offered to overpay for some Pfizer/Moderna. Pay 2x-3x the amount per dose, but that would trigger a domino effect and we'd not be able to keep up with other countries also willing to overpay.

Hundreds of San Francisco bars to require vaccination, negative Covid test to drink indoors

Hundreds of bars in San Francisco will begin requiring proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 tests from customers who want to remain inside the businesses while they drink, an industry group said Monday.

The measure, which was prompted by a recent increase in cases among fully vaccinated bar workers, will go into effect Thursday, the San Francisco Bar Owner Alliance said in a statement.

Vaccination cards or test results from within 72 hours will not be required from customers sitting outside.

Biden will announce vaccination requirement across federal government on Thursday

(CNN) President Joe Biden will announce on Thursday a requirement that all federal employees and contractors be vaccinated against Covid-19, or be required to submit to regular testing and mitigation requirements, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

The announcement will come in remarks where Biden is also expected to lay out a series of new steps, including incentives, in an attempt to spur new vaccinations as the Delta variant spreads rapidly throughout the country. It will also follow the decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs to require its frontline health care workers to be vaccinated over the course of the next two months.

the latest news about similar viral loads in vaxxed and unvaxxed infected with delta might mean it will be a shortlived opening if any at all. once delta reach close down again

from that article:

The data posted online, which are expected to be discussed in a company earnings call on Wednesday morning, suggest that antibody levels against the Delta variant in people ages 18 to 55 who receive a third dose of vaccine are greater than five-fold than following a second dose.

laff

Yup redmanjp. The statements of the cdc and fauci yesterday show that vaccine passports make no sense. Matter of fact, I would say that vaccinated people are more of a threat than unvaccinated people.

But vaccine blind loyalist will ignore this information.

Those who sell and purchase falsified immunization documents could face a minimum prison sentence of seven years, according to Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh.

The minister indicated that the ministry is in the process of sending reports of the unscrupulous activity to the police.

“On taking the rumour seriously, I can tell you…some files are actually on the way to police. We are taking this so seriously,” he said.

Citing the Forgery Act, Minister Deyalsingh said both parties involved in the transaction will be held accountable.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m advised, the person who sells the card and the person who receives the card are liable to be imprisoned for seven years,” he said.
