Florida reports highest daily COVID-19 cases since January

[left-of-center2012]

Florida on Wednesday reported 12,647 new cases of COVID-19, the highest daily number of cases since late January, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The last time that Florida topped this number was Jan. 30, when it logged 14,654 cases. The U.S. registered 55,132 cases on Wednesday, meaning that Florida’s daily count made up about 23 percent of new cases reported by the CDC for that day.

Last week, White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said that Florida made up roughly 20 percent of new cases in the country. "Just four states accounted for more than 40 percent of all cases in the past week, with 1 in 5 of all cases occurring in Florida alone," Zients said during a briefing last Friday.

Despite this, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) downplayed the state’s recent spike in cases and called it
“a seasonal virus” on Monday. He predicted cases would be down the following month.

1. The day the thugs lost the 2022 election 7/21/2021...when cases across the red

states reached 2020 numbers..Dems are too nice though, they will not want to play the thugs game..there are other ways to highlight their too little, too late attempt to vax their constituents..

Lets get the infrastructure Bill passed..as well, the all important Voter Rights Act, and the John Lewis Voter Act passed..

Oh, last but not least..looks like Soc. Sec. benefits will see an approx. 6.1% increase for 2022..

2. DeSantis is likely minimizing the numbers too

He was doing that before. He's probably going to stop reporting soon so the numbers don't make him look bad.
