    Perhaps a question with an OBVIOUS answer? Biased left wing media? That certainly seems highly likely!

    ~ Because California is a "favored state" by leftist taintes news media. Same reason 'The Andy Cuomo Show - Live From New York ' went on the air without sponsors.

    I cannot speak as to why California is not getting mentioned but I can answer why Florida seems to be having a spike in infections, the reason is we have greatly ramped up testing to 1,770,081 as of yesterday and our method of testing, however what matters and is not being talked about is the death rate which has been dropping.

    I'm guessing that the left wing media haven't mentioned those particular details. Although, what's the reason for the return to restrictions?

    To inflict as much economic and social stress as possible and then blame Trump for it. Thats been the democrat plan since they realized they could capitalize on this virus for political purposes. Just look at all the leftist corona hysteria Trump hate threads.

    I was referring to Florida's return to restrictions.

    ~ I believe that Florida has done a lot of testing this week and too many came up positive. The governor wants to play it safe .
    ✖ Notice not a peep about the purpose carelessness of China starting this entire scenario ...

    So is the per cent of positive tests going down?

    Are hospitalizations going down?

    No?

    Ohh

    ~ Do not celebrate yet ! Deaths and hospitalization remains flat. If they do increase we will hold the protesters responsible. :bye:

    Actually that is incorrect, hospitalizations are way down, to the point the temporary facilities that where predicted to be needed by Chicken Little media have been dismantled and the percentage of positive hits is remaining below the 10% threshold.

    It wouldn't surprise me if we did see a spike in cases amongst those protesters, the good part is the majority of them are young and should have no problems weathering the virus, except those who have underlying conditions like HIV and respiratory problems caused by smoking weed.

    It wouldn't surprise me either but that's clearly not happening yet and clearly is not the cause of the spikes in Texas,California,Florida, Arizona and elsewhere

    California got reported on. I actually watch news, and saw it about a dozen times.

    Almost half the states are having trouble, media is going to go where it's the worst...

    Since June 1, the average number of tests per day has increased by less than 25 percent. During that same time, the average number of infections per day has nearly quadrupled — from fewer than 1,000 cases per day at the start of this month to more than 4,000 cases every day in the past week.

    Using the the Orlando Sentinel as a accurate source, that's rich they are well known to be a good source of fake news.

    Because people in the Tri-County area are as dumb as stumps and like the ANTIFA protesters are stupid enough to sit or stand right next to strangers.

    Every single story I have seen noting a surge in cases has mentioned CA.

    However, the larger story is not which states are experiencing outbreaks but rather the epic failure of leadership at a federal level.
