DeSantis says nothing has changed in the last week

[malaise]

It's just more testing.

i hope these people end up in prison. National Security is supposed to mean the security of the people.

1. Actually, AZ, Texas and FL are reaching or have reached a tipping point with hospital beds.

[Mike 03]

2. He might look calm and collected in front of the camera but

I can almost guarantee he's waking up with night terrors, drenched in sweat, as the pressure mounts and Trump's campaign trips into the abyss of no return.

[malaise]

4. Well said

[C_U_L8R]

3. Actually whistling past the graveyard

and putting a big yellow happy face on the death masks of thousands.

Surreal and ghoulish.

[malaise]

6. Criminal

That's what it is

[ProfessorGAC]

5. The Positivity Rate Is Up 4+% In A Week

8-12% last week.
9.5-19.5 this week
So, it isn't just testing.
There's a really good interactive graph on the Sun Sentinel webpage!

8. Thanks Prof

[Squinch]

7. 8900 new cases in Florida SO FAR today (it's 5:13 pm.) That's an enormous jump.

Florida is in big trouble. That number is 5 to 14 days behind the date of exposure. That means that there are 5 to 14 more days in which cases increase at these levels every day before we see results from anything initiated TODAY. And he's not initiating anything today or any time soon.

[Phoenix61]

12. Yes he did. He shut down all all bars. nt

[Squinch]

14. But left open restaurants that serve liquor.

[Phoenix61]

15. Restaurants are much easier to social distance

at. People go in, eat, then leave. The bars, here at least, weren’t even trying to social distance.

[Squinch]

16. It's still bullshit. There is a tidal wave about to crash over them and they are thinking

they'll bail themselves out with teacups.

This thing doesn't play games. This thing is a factory of pain and misery and death. And they are STILL not taking it seriously enough to slow it down.

[Phoenix61]

17. Agreed. All for those summer tourist $'s. nt

[Squinch]

19. I'm in NY. When we had the tidal wave over us, it was completely terrifying, but at least we had

people to advise us and to work for us who we could see had our best interests at heart.

My heart is breaking for all the people in these states with leaders who don't give a shit if they live or die. Who are willfully sending them to their deaths. And for the people who are just too dumb or gullible to protect themselves.

This was all avoidable. This is the saddest thing I have ever seen.

[JI7]

24. don't they NOT have a state income tax so they are even more dependent on the Tourism money ?

[MoonlitKnight]

27. Yep

Over $640 million or 31%.

20. omfg, NY's peak was 10,000 a day and

[genxlib]

9. His own state health department disagrees

Go here and click on the second tab and there is a graph showing steady testing. The only thing going up is the percentage positive.

Click on the 5th tab and it shows emergency visits with covid-like illnesses going up very similar to the documented cases.

https://fdoh.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/8d0de33f260d444c852a615dc7837c86

Denial or full of shit?

[LisaL]

10. yea, sure.

When hospitals are filling up, and ICUs are filling up, it's not just testing.

[soothsayer]

11. Does he think he can hide it?

I get the instinct to do so, but grownups snap out if that.

[lpbk2713]

13. 262 Floridians have died from Covid-19 in the last week.

I'm sure their families will disagree.

And that number won't include deaths attributed to "respiratory failure".
That is how the PTB play fast and easy with the statistics.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Well, even many republicans here in Florida aren't buying it.

My boss is a republican. Granted he sat out the last presidential election. Voted for neither.

But we found out a late 40’s guy we both know is in ICU with Covid. Viral Pneumonia in both lungs. No outstanding healthcare issues we know of.

My boss is real worried. He and his wife are in their 60’s. And voting for Joe.

He’s not the only republican I know who are scared and voting for Joe. That said I don’t know any of the religious nuts. Well, except my extended family. They are hopeless.

[Blue_true]

22. Geez.

Haven't you seen the "Faith over Fear" signs that are everywhere? That is supposed to be the magic elixir.

[GulfCoast66]

23. Haven't seen any of those. Are they a thing?

[Blue_true]

25. Yes, they are all over where I live.

But you live in a less bible thumping region of the state than I do.

[GulfCoast66]

26. I live in South Lake. A solid republican county but the Clermont are is not like North Lake.

As you know, we are a bedroom community for Orlando. Very diverse.

You are in Citrus County?

[Blue_true]

28. No, I am in Marion. Christianity is strong here, although it's grip is less

than when I was a child or young adult.

[GulfCoast66]

29. Now I remember. Hope you are not close to the Villages

That place scares me.

[Blue_true]

30. You may be closer to the Villages than I am.

I live in North Marion, headed out toward Gainesville.

[GulfCoast66]

31. Beautiful area. Love Micanopy. We stayed in a B&B there once on a get away trip.

Have a safe weekend.

[spanone]

21. As repulsive as they come.
