All accomplished without useless cloth masks, vaccine passports, yo-yoing lockdowns. Meanwhile Florida led the nation in job creation with 84K new jobs out of @195K nationwide last month, three times better than the national average.

Well done, Governor DeSantis.
Big deal. In what state aren't covid cases starting to fall?

I thought one of the Democrats here would post this. They were so on top of Covid posts about Florida during the summer, then poof, they stopped posting.

I wonder why?

Anyway, it is good that Florida, like many states, have seen a decline in daily cases.



But, really, the death and sick numbers could have been much better if only said Governor had implemented some common sense precautions secondary to a world wide pandemic.
They are ranked 3rd and just happened to be 3rd in population. Simple math. They are right where they should be.

They got the same results without resorting to government mandates and destroying businesses. Who would have thought?

And their death rate is still lower than New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Sooooo.....how was it accomplished? Or perhaps the real question is how is it explained?

Several states, including Florida, that had terrible reported case numbers a few months ago now have but a small fraction of that reported. I'm not so sure reality has changed to near the degree the reporting has.....making no suggestion as to which numbers are more accurate.

Nope. We have been enjoying our freedom while the freaks on the left were dressed up like space aliens, avoiding other people. You people suck.

Quoted for truth.

I went to Baltimore in September. It was COVID panic central.

Florida is back up to #9 in deaths per million.

I guess that's something to celebrate?

I hope you're wearing your mask indoors and "saving lives" while posting from your basement in the Los Angeles penal colony.
