    I don't think there will be any circumstances in which he's going to tolerate even the most basic of mitigation efforts. I fear it wont be long before we start seeing the daily stories about ICU occupancy, and still even then DeathSantis wont act. Or rather he will act, he'll find some new way to make things worse. Maybe he start banning the sale of masks in the state altogether.

    Isn’t Florida populated by many retirees? With many comorbidities?
    Although with Delta, age seems to be no barrier.

    It's bizarre to watch when politicians break off from science as though their neck of the woods is somehow "special".

    It's a fair point. Cases in UK are plummeting and they're not sure why. However it could be related to school ending.

    I'm not sure it's anything to smile about though. Still a lot of death and who knows about the long term effects.

    With such a high percentage of those inoculated, it would seem logical that FL would have many positive tests.

    It's been demonstrated in many places that the more injected, the higher the case rate. Scamdemic

    The shots don't protect anybody from anything. Two inoculated friends of mine have recently passed.

    When you threaten to defund schools who mandate mask, you allow parents to make decisions for their own kids. When did the government decide they were going to co-parent your kids? We know how much the left loves being told what to do by the government but Conservatives don't kowtow to government demands. Thats a leftist thing.

    And I find it very convenient how you decided to leave out some facts which means you are more interested in political BS than you are actual events.

    For example

    You decided to use total numbers for a state that is 3rd in population. That speaks for itself since California's numbers prove it.
    California has 1,796,000 active Covid cases, Florida has 308,000 yet Florida has the highest population of retirees.
    California has twice the population of Florida yet they have 6 times more current active cases yet that number seemed to just slip by you?

    If you were genuinely more concerned about people than you were leftist propaganda you would be screaming about California and congratulating Florida.

    Meaning your OP is more about political propaganda than it is about actual successes. You're not fooling anyone with your fake outrage over Florida. You are only exposing your hypocrisy.

    Above 97% of cases in Baptist Health in Jacksonville Florida are all unvaccinated.

    Vaccines are working and amazing.

    BS, he is letting parents decide. Mandates are tyranny.

    Just read this morning that the vaccinated "breakthrough" nasal tested carry just as much virus as those unvaccinated.. So vaccinated or unvaccinated who cares, both are just as contagious to each other..

    Fact is natural selection will be what it be, and natural immunity will rule in the end..

    And yet the vaccines are really not the answer..

    Bottom line is the unvaccinated survivors will eventually hold the key to stopping this man made CHINER virus.. Mans arrogance is the real cause of death, they play God creating this pathogen then believe they can control it...

    They were wrong on both accounts!

    Natural immunity does not protect you. Some evidence shows it wanes in as little as 3 months. Like the so-called common cold, this is a type of Corona virus. You can catch the same cold every year. But this cold eventually kills you.

    The vaccine is virtually 100% effective against death and hospitalization. And if you become ill It reduces the severity of the infection.

    I disagree, I survived it via natural immune system and I continue to ward off COVID and the vaccine created VARIANT.. SO you couldn't be more wrong, and if you immunized more vulnerable IMPO...

    Number do not support this silly nonsense.

    If you statement wasn't nonsense then explain why its nearly only unvaccinated ending up in the hospitals and ventilators.

    So you are saying out of a country of 331 million and world population of 7.9 billion MORE PEOPLE are dying from COVID and the Vaccine variant then are surviving?

    Better check your numbers man ;)

    Here's what's bizarre. When NYC got wrecked it was the fault of a president, when Florida gets hit it's the fault of the governor. I'm seeing a pattern here with the finger pointing.

    Consensus over here is that the disease is running out of people to infect.

    Very much like the two doses of vaccine, you would need to catch it a couple of times to build long term immunity

    If it weren't for Cuomo, I would agree.

    Whenever the DNC feels they are loosing control of their followers they snap them back with leash of COVID- COVID-2.0 COVID 3.0 and now the dread virus enhanced VARIANT..

    Poor Democrat party, they have no place to turn that isn't sickness, death, fear and uncertainty! Damn sorry ass life if you ask me, running around scared, masked, and checking your temp every time you sneeze or get a runny nose.. Personally, I'd rather take the chance and put my faith in my evolutionary immune system then live in limbo "Almost two years now" living like a hypochondriac and afraid of social contact..

    Face to face is how humans evolved, the DNC is culling theirs to communicate in the cold world of digital where they can manipulate that platform and the minds of their followers..

    And it obvious to those not programmed ;) We the now called antivaxxers are targets of the party of control, we expose everyday their scam and now the only thing they have left is increase vaccinations on their followers and manipulate data when all the while they remain just as vulnerable to the flu and those with compromise immune variables will sadly succumb to natural selection, sad part is they gave up good chunk of their social lives at a time in their lives they have little left to waste :(

    Your statement was that the immunized was nor vulnerable. That's horseshit

    I have never said the immunized was NOT vulnerable, bullshit ;)

    Reading is fundamental.. Spelling helps some too :)

    And you ignore the question too ;)

    And the president sent a massive hospital ship the Cuomo refused to use and chose to send infected elderly back into nursing homes. The heroes you all chose to follow is at times, extremely disturbing.

    Um no, that's not what I was saying.

    Read Steve's post. Cuomo copped criticism and he was a governor.
