We will never, let me repeat... NEVER have 100% vaccination rate. That's a fail in the making. Perfection is a propagandist tool for continued control. I would expect 75-85% vaccination/anti bodies in total.
Florida will be the first state to achieve herd immunity... bet on it along with a thriving economy. 1000 new residents a day also believe that.
Lock downs do not work
Mask are marginal in effectiveness since people use them incorrectly... see liberal politicians for reference
Vaccines work
Anti bodies work
Being healthy and your brain cells is your best defense
Gov. DeSantis is the best governor in the country
Therapeutics will be our response to covid, in the future.
Very true.
Talk is cheap, but actions mean something. People vote with their feet... as in getting the heck out of the oppressive Democrat run states and moving to Republican run states. Northerners are flooding into Florida, Texas, Tennessee and other states which have common sense Republican leadership.
The liberals on here can bellyache all they want, but they will find when election time rolls around in about 16 months, the Republicans will once again gain control of congress and probably the Senate too. The Libs can remain in their hell-hole, high-tax, socialistic run states and commiserate with each other.
For those criticizing DeSantis In a month or two when it calms down in Fl and the epicenter moves to NY or Michigan some of you can get on here and say how Cuomo and such are doing a great job combating the COVID
yeah we will see about that......
I mean Cuomo has such a great track record from last year right?
This has been an interesting tale to say the least.
The data reported is accurate and true. No state is lying except NY and the genocide gov. Cuomo.
You have just stated "no state is lying" and you cannot know that. You also stated "except NY", which means you acknowledge that a state could falsify it's reporting. It is not possible for you to know which state would falsify it's reports but here you are claiming that Florida has accurate reports and New York does not!
These are things you cannot know.
Do you not see the hard bias built into your own statement?
Because school boards are bypassing PARENTS! that's why!
School boards that were elected by parents are bypassing parents, how does that work?
Remember DeSantis stopping cars from NY last spring requiring that they quarantine, but now he can't bring himself to allow districts to enforce mask mandates. So is he going to take Disney World, Universal Studios and the other mayors to court as he did with the cruise lines.
Florida broke it's prior record for hospitalizations and his announcement is no new restrictions or mandates, yes this is pure politics, his 2024 campaign is well underway.

This is spreading in every state, that is not the issue. But in a state that leads the nation in infections the governors response is non-existent.

A few months ago even the media could not ignore it and admitted that while Fl was not "lockdown" compared to other states the rates of COVID was still the same or less in Fl.
"Here is the deal" as Biden likes to use the term, currently Florida has a rise in COVID and that is giving those against him a reason to criticize him, when in a few months it calms down in Florida (and it will) and the epicenter shifts (and it will) to NY or California we will see how those states do compared to FL.
And there is the million dollar question that is already been asked, if COVID is such a dire pandemic, and the democrats really say it is, WHY OH WHY are they ignoring the border? when there are several variant strains from south America making its way here on top of Delta variant?
Why because politics is more important to them that's why. They would rather infect the country than look mean or "racist" to immigrants rushing across and anger the leftist portion of the democratic party. I mean these new strains are supposedly 50% more contagious and hospitals are on the verge of being overwhelmed so what gives?
Florida leads the nation in kids hospitalized for COVID
Florida had 32 pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations per day between July 24 and 30, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adjusted for population, that’s 0.76 kids hospitalized per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the country.
The Florida Department of Health reported 10,785 new COVID-19 infections among children under 12 between July 23 and 29. That’s an average of 1,540 new cases per day.
The surge is worse for children who are eligible for the vaccine — 11,048 new cases among those ages 12 to 19 in the same week.
Last Friday’s state data shows seven deaths among children under 16 since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Florida stopped reporting COVID-19 deaths by age group to the CDC on July 17. https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-l...223800797.html
Do you have a link for that because the population number in the first line is way off- Florida's got like 21.5 million people and not a mere 19 million.
The population number is who can take the vaccine under emergency rules. Children younger than 12 are not counted. That is the difference.

Truth isn't bias
Who doesn't know NY manipulated data? They've admitted it. So yes... I can know and I do.

When you can't defend DeSantis lack of a response always blame it on the "illegals".
