waves come and go.

The virus is incapable of deciding whether it prefers helping a Dem or GOP governor.

How can you "shatter records" when we are tracking and reporting different data ?

Last year it was hospitalizations and deaths.
Now it's positive cases.

That's not apples to apples.

So when Florida numbers are good it is because of DeSantis, when they surge it is the Feds.

YAWN.

We do not have the same variant circulating so what you "think" is not valid.
The varian circulating last year was more dangerous to your body than the one circulating now.

Rather..look at hospital/death stats instead.

Meh, don't really care enough to look into it. We are in a world wide pandemic, until Covid is gone, we will see case counts rise and fall , across the country , just like the ebb of tides.
If you don't think tens of thousands of people from the north, many from states that are setting records in case counts won't effect what is happening in FL and other warmer climates states , so be it.

The Regeneron Therapy cost $3000 per treatment, not including administrative costs.

Florida and Texas use Federal Funds to hog antibody therapies and were not reporting usage to the Federal Government.

Some might recall, the Governor of Texas was treated with antibodies not available to the masses. Other than his job, he had no preexisting condition that would have made him more vulnerable to serious Covid.

HHS imposed itself in the distribution process to create some equity across ALL states of a therapy in short global supply.

The Regeneron therapy is not as effective against Omicron that progress to serious Covid. . Other therapies are and the Federal Government has ordered $ billions of it.

Facts have never stood in the way of blame throwing for political gain.

Forget cases.....cases are total bullcrap

Florida hospitalized........24 per 100,000.......34 states are higher.....some a whole lot higher....like 90 per 100,000

Florida deaths...............0.09 per 100,000.....48 states are higher....Florida has the second lowest death rate in the entire country

This. ↑

The best we can do is do what is best for us and our families, stop worrying about others, and trying to politicize something that is constantly changing.

The main point of masks was to protect others, and cloth masks still work for that. If you want personal protection, you need to use the KN95 masks or to double up your cloth masks.
