Coronavirus cases rise by record 11,458 cases in Florida And yesterday was another 9,000. I don’t think the huge numbers can all be attributed to document dumps. And unless I’m missing something even your governor is slowing things down in reopening the state. If he were a democrat you would be attacking him for that. Really horrible politics when a pandemic is sweeping through. This is where Trump is failing in leadership too. The country needs a unifier not a gas lighter.
Desantis has only closed down targeted counties where there are the most cases, such as Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The three counties that consistently over the last 2 months have had 60% of all cases in Florida. Consistently, even when beaches were re-opened, these counties were still partially locked down, not taken through all the phases of re-opening.
The majority of new cases are young hispanic people under 35, and the average age of all races of new-tested cases is under 35. So these are not a new wave of deaths, and we are experiencing periodic resurgences and clusters of outbreaks just like every other country.
The common deniminator in outbreak pockets nationwide is that
they are border regions with a high ratio of illegal immigrants, in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Florida.
The goal from the beginning was never to completely stop new cases, it was to slow the spread, flatten the curve, until we had preparation in hospitals to care for those infected, and we flattened the curve, and are still improving therapies. But the deaths are a tiny fraction of what they were just 2 months ago. The Democrats are again changing the goalposts and politicizing the Covid-19 pandemic. If Biden were elected, Dems would suddenly say, with nothing changing, "Oh, no big deal, the crisis is over."
And as proof of that, I point to 2008-2009 with the economic crisis. The media were hyping the Great Recession as "the worst recession since the great depression" and constantly blaming W.Bush for it, when Democrats actually had primary blame for the housing collapse. Then suddenly Obama is elected, and the unemployment actually deepened, considerably, in the millions of more job losses, and the stock market tanked, way below what it was under Bush. But the media immediately after the election was saying: "We're actually already in recovery, unemployment is just a lagging indicator! Everything's great!"
Keep in mind that not the slightest sign of economic recovery happened for the first 2 years under Obama. But the media was immediately spinning it as a recovery, as soon as Obaama won the 2008 election.
Likewise, the Swine Flu outbreak. Hannity one night showed all the clips. The media was saying hey, tens of thousands dead, but hey, it's under control, nothing to worry about. After Hannity ran the clips, he hilariously came back onscreen and said "Do ya see a little difference in the coverage between then and now?"
Oh yeah.
And for the record, as I cited before, 60 million cases across the U.S. population got Swine Flu, and yet the medis never sounded the alarm.
