COVID-19 in Florida: State passes 50,000 total coronavirus deaths

9. What makes you believe he hasn't done so already?

Florida officials have been cooking the numbers since day one, often by mis-assigning the cause of death to heart failure, lung failure, brain damage, pneumonia and other effects of COVID without stating COVID as the primary condition. They've been caught at it by their own statistician. I expect when the true numbers are revealed we will see that at least twice as many Floridians have died from COVID since the pandemic began, if not more than that.

Of course this doesn't mention the number of other patients in Florida whose treatment was delayed or never delivered because COVID patients had filled the ICU, the halls and most of the beds, taken most of the Oxygen and other medical services, or exhausted the staff to the extent that no new patients of any class or diagnosis could be reasonably admitted. these numbers don't include how many of them died due to delayed surgery or treatment.

Death Santis has concocted the New Inquisition: death to true believers and Desantis Deniers alike.
