Is anybody out there buying this about Florida's amazing health care system?

Today the state acknowledged 26,203 new cases of CoViD-19

Yet claimed they only had 9 new deaths.

Pretty amazing.

It’s been discussed here in several threads. They’ll add several days worth of deaths on Friday. This was a way for DeSantis to keep it out of the daily headlines. They’re seeing 230 deaths a day right now and it’s going up fast. Worst it’s been in FL the whole pandemic.

They attribute a lot of Covid deaths to cardiac failure, respiratory failure, etc.
The bullshit flows from the top.

Polio is rampant yet only 9 kids in our state will be crippled. So far. Silly games continue at the expense if of our kids.
