Tampa Bay news outlet used images from Italy to scare people about Covid in Florida. But it was an “accident.”

Well, look at the network they're affiliated with.

“ Thanks for writing. That thumbnail image was mislabeled in our video archives and we corrected it as soon as we discovered the problem.”

Some mental issue is at play if one thinks this global health crisis is fake. The type of person who thinks on a global level (global key word for the stupid ) this all a lie sadly must see first hand the misery such ignorance allows.

Then you'd think they'd be able to have pictures of the "overcrowded hospitals" in Florida and wouldn't have to use pictures from last year in Italy....

This isn't a picture, but it paints one.

"In response to the COVID-19 surge, this week a number of Tampa Bay hospitals suspended some elective surgeries and restricted patient visits.

BayCare is limiting patient visits to one masked visitor a day and suspended elective surgeries at six of its Hillsborough County hospitals as its number of COVID-19 admissions topped more than 800 patients. That’s well above the previous peak of 702 in July 2020, before vaccines became available.

AdventHealth postponed non-emergency elective procedures that require an overnight stay at some of its hospitals. COVID-19 admissions at West Florida Division hospitals exceeded 300 this week, more than at any time since the pandemic began.

The company’s Tampa Chief Medical Officer Doug Ross said about 94 percent of those are unvaccinated. Many of those are younger than the patients who made up the bulk of the hospitalizations in the first COVID-19 wave in the early summer of 2020, he said."

"“This week [Aug 4] we have reached a grim milestone: Our 14 acute care hospitals have more COVID-19 patients than any other time since the pandemic began,” said [BayCare] spokeswoman Lisa Razler."

No, not all of them are. Fox is the worst.
