More non-sense. The woman in Jacksonville who claimed she contracted the virus after she went to a bar. How did I know BEFORE EVEN LOOKING her Facebook was going to be full of anti-Trump propaganda? There's no way it's a coincidence. I'm skeptical of all the people claiming to have it.
Not that Florida really re-opened in the first place with all bars in South Florida still closed under orders of Governor DeSantis. Florida cases are hitting new records all the time, and the Testing vs Cases ratio also keeps increasing. Amazingly the Trump admin pretty much declared the pandemic a done-deal.
Restaurants again shutting their doors as coronavirus flares
On Tuesday, Texas reported an 8.3% increase in hospitalizations to a record 2,518, the largest daily jump since June 4. The rolling seven-day average rose to a record 2,243, according to the state health department.
Florida is one of of 22 states where daily coronavirus cases are rising. The state's hospitalization count has nearly doubled since May 4, when its governor relaxed a month-long stay-at-home order by letting restaurants and stores outside of South Florida open at 25% capacity. The Sunshine State reported 80,109 cases on Tuesday, an increase of 3.6% from Monday.
After biggest one-day coronavirus total, how bad could it get in Florida?
The record number came not as a spike on an otherwise flat trend line but followed two weeks of rising numbers. It comes as a growing percentage of people taking the test come up positive for the disease. And it’s accompanied by a rise in emergency room visits for flu-like symptoms since early May, a closely watched statistic thought to represent the leading edge of the disease.
It's a dream come true, isn't it?
Surely America will now be saved from Trump The Terrible, who personally ordered everyone to go out and catch COVID 19, so that he could blame it on The Left.
Clever man, that Trump. But we can all see that you are way to clever for the likes of him.
Both Texas and Arizona, and possibly Florida, are not having a second wave because neither of them had peaked in the first wave when they started to reopen. None of the sun belt states had achieved anything close to the CDC guidelines. It really does not matter though. The sun belt is just a harbinger. COVID is going to come back across the country, far worse than before too, because the virus is still there, hardly anyone is immune, and Americans are unwilling to endure even the slightest sacrifice and, frankly, ignorant and stupid about wearing masks and avoiding crowded indoor places.
LOL..people couldn't do it for 2.5 months....as you can see from the spikes due to partial re-openings.
People went back out into the world at full gusto..to hell with masks and social distancing.
One can blame the politicians all day but when it comes down to it, it's the people themselves that are not adhering to the guidelines.
Who is at fault for the spikes ? Just look in the mirror.
You obviously don't work in a hospital or you might feel differently. Reopenings need to be done with caution so as not to overwhelm our health care system. Rapidly restarting and ignoring the guidelines is not very intelligent.
The damage shutdowns have done to our economy and society are so severe I just do not care what lefty thinks about covid at all. They want to say people like me are killing grandma then fine.....I simply don’t care. I hold the hand wringing, mask wearing blue state shutdown Hillary voters in such contempt that words cannot describe that level of contempt. Me caring what these people think of my views is about as ridiculous as an American in 1942 caring what a nazi thinks.

I keep reading about "second wave" but we're still in the first wave only it's moving from the northeast to the southern/western states.
The coronavirus will keep spreading until enough people have been exposed that it cannot spread anymore. Nothing you can do will stop that inevitably. Only fools thought ruining our economy and shutting down the world would stop that process. We are all going to get or have had coronavirus. Just let it go for crying out loud..... we do that it will be over in weeks. Most of us will hardly notice we had it. Many of us already have.
So dang tired of this foolishness. People really are stupid
Oh so you think overwhelming the hospital system is helping Texas economy really? You think employees and patrons of bars and restaurants getting the virus and having to shut down the restaurants in Florida is really helping their economy? You're darn right people are really stupid. But only because they are ignoring the virus and allowing it to run rampant. Do you not see what is happening? Texas and Florida are forced to shut down anyway and do you really think by ignoring the virus that helps their economies?
Like you said people are really stupid. It really seems some of you just don't get it. The economies will be forced to shut down either way. And you really just don't get it
I know nothing about Florida's virus, but the reason Texas has an increase in hospitalizations is because more people are going back into hospitals for procedures they put off during the shutdown, and now they are testing everyone. Therefore, more asymptomatic cases are being caught. The media is being misleading by implying that they hospitalizations are BECAUSE of the virus, which is not true. It's simply a case of the virus being present in hospitalized patients. The number of cases compared to testing, and number of deaths, show the true story - neither have spiked. Even with the misleading stats, the numbers are so small they can barely be considered a blip, given the size of Texas.
As for restaurants closing because their employees are testing positive, that is because tests are easier to get right now, so a restaurant owner can find out for sure if their employees have the virus. A few months ago, that wasn't an option.
I know the left so very desperately wants this virus to hit a second wave, but it's just not happening here in Texas.
They are desperately begging for more cases in red states in hopes they can have a second shut down. Meanwhile, all 11 states with over 400 deaths per million residents have Democrat Governors that locked them indoors to support full spread of the virus and then encouraged millions to loot and burn their Democrat controlled cities down to further spread the virus.
Deaths per million in Texas is 71 and it's 1,593 in New York....which one looks to be doing better dumb dems?
What choice are they going to have any way when they are overloaded with Coronavirus and they are overloading the hospital system which they are. What Choice are they going to have? Some people just do not get it. They're going to be forced to shut down the economy and ignoring the virus it's not going to help your economy not in the least bit.
