Since the MSM/Democrats won't tell you this, I figured I'd share. Good news.

Sweden got it right. Of course the media ignores Sweden now.

Sweden is covered extensively by the media.

Last test count I saw was about 26k. Less than a third of Ny numbers with a very similar population. And positivity rate close to 15% vs. 1% in NY.


They don't want to know what the real number of cases are.

They always report low numbers on Monday. Being Tuesday, the number of deaths will rise. DeSantis can't sanitize de numbers as fast as he likes!

The positivity rate has been under 10% for a long time. But keep pushing your misinformation and panic, it’s what Democrats do.

Also the numbers from yesterday are in. 3838 new cases. Contrary to our pal who “monitors the numbers daily” you don’t need to wait until 9 Pm.

Congratulations, your state with only 20 million people has more deaths than all of Canada with twice the population.

Not sure what you're trying to brag about here.

Nobody's bragging. However, we are effectively pointing out the hypocrisy, double standards, dishonesty, and political agenda of the people on the left who are constantly doomsaying and panic pushing.

If anyone is "bragging" about a response to COVID-19, it's Governor Cuomo (D-NY), who was a featured speaker at the DNC last night and also singlehandedly responsible for the deaths of over 11,000 nursing home patients. You should worry about him more than us down here in Florida. We're still about 30,000 behind deep blue states NY and NJ.

Except that NY's worst daily numbers are long behind us, while Florida is still struggling with the virus. More than 218 deaths in the last 24 hours and DeSantis missing in action, just like Trump.

Yeah, there weren't 218 deaths in the last 24 hours. That's false. There were 218 deaths attributed to COVID-19 reported to the State of Florida in the past 24 hours. Those 218 deaths could have happened any time over the past days, weeks or even months.

Please stop your disinformation campaign, you're embarrassing yourself.

Governor DeSantis responded to this pandemic a thousand times better than that idiot Cuomo because he acted quickly to protect the most vulnerable. That's why Florida's death count is so much lower than New York's.
