Can a Virus Spread Via the Rain? | Passport Health

As shown in new findings, they can and they do.

There’s nothing radical about viruses existing in water. Many common illnesses, like cholera and typhoid, can spread via the liquid. But, exploring the thought of rain carrying disease is relatively novel. Scientists had not been able to quantify what was “hiding out” in the atmosphere before.


Now, research from the International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal found that the free troposphere is behind quite a bit of disease spread.

Well, FL will likely have an upswing since it has been raining off and on here and it's projected to rain all weekend where protests and mourning marches are planned. sigh.

Workbook: Public

This link is interesting. It shows ICU beds by county, and percentage available. I am sure that higher ICU bed usage in a county would correlate with higher COVID19 cases.

I’m surprised at the number of counties that have zero ICU beds. It seems like it would be prudent to have at least a few in every hospital no matter the size. Or at the very least, have a small section that can be quickly converted to provide isolation.

Two weeks our from Memorial Day.

8 more COVID-19 deaths reported in Sarasota-Manatee Friday

The Florida Department of Health reported five more COVID-19 deaths in Manatee County Friday and three more in Sarasota County.

Most of the deaths appear to be tied to elder care facilities. The DOH reported six more deaths linked to these facilities in the two-county region Friday.

Manatee County now has 105 COVID-19 deaths, with 71 linked to elder care facilities. Sarasota County has 85 COVID-19 deaths, with 55 linked to elder care.

I'm still trying to figure out why there are so many people from out of state down here this time of year. Especially New York.

I think people bailed if they could. I wouldn’t want to be stuck somewhere cold and dreary while forced to be isolated. I have to wonder if leaving the perceived safety of a warm climate, and going to a cooler climate, is scary to the snowbird population.

As more test, more will become known. I wish we had a number for how many tested positive for antibodies. One friends husband was sick at New Years into Jan. His antibody test was positive last week. Another friend was describing how sick she was in Feb and she strongly suspects she had it too.

Interesting about the R value being below 1.0 or above 1.0.

Just in time for summer, Florida's seeing a surge in coronavirus cases. But there's good news, too
Florida's seeing a surge in coronavirus cases. But there's good news, too - CNN

First, the bad news: The number of new coronavirus cases reported in Florida each day has increased an average of roughly 46% over the past week, according to a national tracking website.

But the percentage of coronavirus test results that turn out to be positive is only 4%, according to Covid19-projections.com, a modeling and tracking website cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I am really interested in the numbers of deaths, not by COVID19. I would like to see those numbers.

But, apparently that is considered "top secret" now. Since the information is impossible to find anywhere.

Right, but why can't we get aggregate data of total deaths for Miami Dade, for example, from February through May 2018, 2019, and 2020? Three years of data for comparison of just death rate. Not "Covid".

That would show whether or not there have been possible uncounted covid deaths.

I wonder if that is something that is compiled from many sources. Who would have the final count, if anyone? I'm sure all deaths are tracked by the county MEs but are they compiled by county, region, state? Are they normally published somewhere? I'm not familiar with this so forgive my ignorance. I think it would be a good stat to have for sure. It would be a good project for a grad student to take on.

I have been looking for a few weeks. And found several pages on Florida.gov, where the information normally is, are now broken "401 Error" codes.

Not normally a conspiracy theorist, but...finding these numbers has been next to impossible. And they used to be just random information.

The working poor population exploded with this pandemic.

33 Percent Of Florida Households Face Financial Ruin

TAMPA, FL — When the coronavirus pandemic hit, nearly 2.6 million Florida households were one emergency away from financial ruin — a 10-year record high — setting the stage for the unprecedented economic impact of the crisis.

That's according to the state's latest ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed)Report released by the United Way in partnership with United For ALICE.
Percentage of households meeting or below the ALICE threshold:
  • Calhoun County, 45 percent
  • Pinellas County 33 percent
  • Hillsborough County 29 percent
  • Pasco County 35 percent
  • Hardee County 41 percent
  • Osceola County 42 percent
  • Miami-Dade County 39 percent
  • Manatee County 32 percent
  • Sarasota County 30 percent
  • Polk County 33 percent
  • Broward County 38 percent
  • Palm Beach County 35 percent
  • Orange County 32 percent
  • Alachua County 33 percent
  • Charlotte County 34 percent
"No matter how hard ALICE families worked, the gap between their wages and the cost of basics just kept widening," said Muroff. "These already-fragile ALICE households are now facing an even deeper financial hole due to the state of emergency created by COVID-19."
