Death Desantis said Florida is doing the best of all states in terms of covid

Give me amo to dispute this to people. TIA

by Anonymousreply 21December 7, 2021 10:52 AM

Do your own damn research OP, Florida might be doing best because earlier this year they were the worst in the nation and this virus seems to go from high to low. Desantis was not bragging when they were the worst.

Hostile much r1? Namaste. Inhale...now let it go. (or of course pills would be good for relaxation.) You can do it. I see potential in you even if you don't.

Pass a couple of bottle over this way.

This again? Every few months they claim Florida is doing great, but the truth is that they're just not reporting cases accurately.

I remember at one point last year one of these articles came out and when I checked, even by their own lower numbers, they were doing really poorly compared to almost every other state. It's just propaganda. Not sure what it's supposed to achieve, honestly, except it's probably just DeSantis prepping for a presidential run.

Well, I live in Florida and the vacation, travel and hospitality business' in the state are grateful for the work.

Right now Florida has the least amount of covid among the 50 States. That's according to the NYT but maybe they fudged their figures. Florida is pretty high among fully vaxxed people because of all the old people. I think it relates to the amount of time spent outdoors wherre Covid doesn't spready that easily.

I find it ironic that a state is full of enough vaccinated seniors to make a difference. But, if it could it would be Florida. Who knew?

Florida isn't doing so hot.

Let's revisit this thread in about three months, after Omicron spreads.

Desantis' weight fluctuations are sort of unusual. He's fat, then he's thin, rinse repeat.

What's up with that? Bipolar?

It’s no longer the dog days of summer in Fla. They’re spending less time inside in central A/C. (You cannot spend much time outdoors in that state during summer; it’s lethal.) They had serious waves of previous infection.

These are the reasons why their numbers are so low now.

Is there fudging involved? Maybe, but how to prove it? And fudging the numbers to the point that they artificially appear to be doing the best of all 50 states doesn’t seem like something that could go unnoticed.

Florida is #14 in the nation when it comes to cumulative cases per capita. I don't think they can brag when 36 states have fared better.

by Anonymousreply 12December 4, 2021 7:57 PM

There’s a difference between cumulative and their current situation, R12. 🙄

OP it's DeathSantis not Death Desantis. Get it right.

R7, you're a gay man who lives in the Villages? Please tell me you're a Democrat, at least.

I'm a lesbian who lives in the Forest, and every single gay person I've met in a three-county radius since I moved here five years ago voted for Trump.

I live in Florida and I have said the same thing for two years; cases skyrocketed here during the last two summers because people spend most of their time indoors to get out of the heat. Its the exact inverse of what occurs during the winter in the northern states. It has little do with actual measures taken by our jackass governor.

We will never know as Deathsantis has been broiling the Florida books for over a year.

by Anonymousreply 17December 4, 2021 8:05 PM

R10 he probably goes on and off carbs. And coke

I misread this thread's title as "Death Desantis said Florida is doing the best of all states in terms of covfefe."

Are any of you floridians familiar with the town of Cassadaga?

by Anonymousreply 19December 4, 2021 8:19 PM

Of course, R19. Why do you ask?

by Anonymousreply 20December 4, 2021 10:26 PM

The New York Times’ daily coronavirus case tracker shows Florida currently at just seven coronavirus cases per 100,000, which is lower than any other state.
