There is something really going wrong in Florida

There is something really going wrong in Florida, Florida should be down in the middle of the pack based on its percent vaccinated.  

Instead, it's at the top of the range.

Hospitalizations

Remember, deaths lag hospitalized.

It’s the AC and, of course, total lack of public health measures.

Even fairly high vaccination northern states will have to contend with it once schools start and people start to move indoors.

BTW, whatever FLA is up to- sending data to a PR group before release and picking a faux fight with CDC-it looks about right.

58k cases over 3 days puts the 7dma at 20k, double 2 weeks ago.

Might be decelerating ever so slightly. Maybe only 35k/day in 2 weeks?

The place may be ungovernable. 

It’s like 1/3 Dubai, 1/3 Long Island and 1/3 Haiti.

If Florida were a foreign country, the feds would consider banning travel from it, saidDr. Johnathan Reiner of the George Washington University School of Medicine, referring to the COVID-19 situation in the state this weekend.

The viral load in Florida is so high right now, there are really only two places on the planet where it’s higher,” he told CNN. Those places, he added, are Botswana, and another U.S. state, Louisiana

Yes - everything is open, and not going to close again.   I will not be going to Florida for the winter for quite some time.   Maybe, after what has transpired there…..never.

It doesn’t come out of this very well.

You people want all these people dead anyway so what is your beef?

[rickgthf]

You don't want them to get vaccinated, you don't want them to take simple precautions like wearing a mask, or avoiding crowds.   You and Abbott, above all DeSantis, want people to engage in behaviors that will almost certainly cause them to become infected.

  Admit it, you want them dead.
