Got it. It's quite clear.
Crazy that people don't get this. Even worse that the leaders of our state couldn't see the loop hole they were opening before they opened it.

Florida continues to improve its Covid-10 safety. Florida's deaths per millionpopulation has fallen to 26th, meaning Florida is now safer than 1/2 the other States, even though it has the 2nd most vulnerable population.

Somebody's doing something right down here.

Florida ranks besides Texas now.

I'll bet the states who screwed up their covid response like; New York, New Jersey, Mass, Rhode Island, Connecticut, are getting a disporoportionate amount of vaccine.

Don't forget FL likes to arrest people who try to stop it from reporting actual numbers, vs the lower ones that are actually reported.

Gee are they also reporting all the FALSE POSITIVES? And yes, I know 2 people in my "bubble" that got false positives. I was shocked and couldn't believe it. If this can happen in my "bubble" must be happening a lot.

I now believe the Florida numbers are way lower.

Why are vaccination rates so much higher in Republican counties than Democratic counties?

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/cor...248570415.html

I wonder what the ratio of doses distributed/100k residents is for each Florida county.

Default AARP: DeSantis promotes "the Hunger Games for Seniors"

DeSantis treats the most elderly seniors (such as aged 85+), with much greater risk of both hospitalization and especially death if infected by COVID-19, the same as much younger Floridians. And the Florida vaccine system is needlessly stressful and time-consuming. Why would anybody praise this system???

You might want to compare notes with your buddy Poseidon3290. He was all upset the other day that seniors were being prioritized over younger people. Notice that Biden has said the same thing as DeSantis in that those that are 65+ should be prioritized over younger people.

Florida’s vaccine system is similar to other states. There is limited supply. That means limited locations for administering vaccines. Every state has jammed phone lines. Have you ever studied the concept of supply and demand?
