    With COVID Hospitalizations At Year-Long High, Doctors Urge Minnesotans To Get Vaccinated; ‘We Are Essentially At 100% Capacity’

    https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021...accinated-we-are-essentially-at-100-capacity/

    HYPERLINK has full article

    snip

    Hospitals across the state are making a desperate plea for the public’s help as COVID-19 cases hit an all-time high this year.

    It’s considered Minnesota’s fourth wave in the ongoing battle against the virus. But hospital beds are filling up in places they never did before.


    end snip


    I do not understand

    lock-downs
    mask mandates

    Democrat governor
    Democrat US Senators
    Democrat majority state legislators
    Even split US Reps but they have Ilan Omar !!!

    so, Minnesota has done everything correct per the media playbook. Democrat majority, economy-killing lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates

    Yet, that rebel, that scallywag down in FL who embraces personal liberty sees his state with much lower Covid numbers. How can that be?

    Oh well, sadly all of those Democrat voting folks from up north are starting to bring their infected bodies here for the winter. Florida will again see numbers spike as we get invaded by Democrat-voting, infected people who feel it's their right to bring their diseases to FL

    Sounds like you are pre-emptively blaming Democrats for what you think might happen in a Republican State.

    This tends to take partisan hackery to a whole new level.

    Do you think Florida should close its borders, or should they knowingly put its citizens to danger and then blame Democrats for the consequences?

    why choose any of your partisan hackery suggestions?

    Here in FL we will soon be invaded by Democrat-voting folks who bring with them their infections and will flood our hospitals. We will then see local grannies hospitalized as Democrat voting folks from the north infect her with Covid or the flu

    Stay up north and enjoy your Democrat utopia. We are doing fine in FL

    Like it or not, your Democrat party line of bad DeSantis/good Democrat governors isn't supported in facts. I feel sorry for you

    I think we'll see that there are fewer snow birds heading to Florida. Those who take covid seriously shake their heads at deSantis.

    You didn't answer the question. Should Florida close its borders from these evil Democrat voters, or should we allow them in to infect / kill us and then blame the Democrats (like you are already doing).

    I have lived in Florida since the 1990s. Sorry.

    Obviously you think things won't be fine for long, which is why your blame-game is in full swing, even thought nothing has happened yet.

    That's a weird thing to say given the fact that I haven't said a word about "good dem governors". Why make stuff up?

    Being honest and making an argument are not mutually exclusive.

    The only thing DeSantis will do about it is blame someone else.

    I wish that was true. The state and county RV parks are fully booked. The low cost seasonal rental units are booked

    Here come the Democrat voters with their diseases. I do not know why you think Democrat voters "take covid seriously"??? They are swarming to FL right now because we have a governor who understands the term govt over-reach and Democrat voters secretly enjoy that, but NPR tells them not to vote for it

    The US/Canada border is still closed, so none of those RVers are Canadian. And the option of shipping their vehicles is very costly. The article I read said that they predicted 50-60% will go down to FLA.

    last night at a local waterfront establishment while enjoying an adult beverage, we were sitting next to a couple from Toronto who just arrived in their RV. They are here till mid-April when they head back.

    It seems that some heard differently from what you "read" as on November 8th, the Canadians heard the siren song that is FL and are heading here in droves.

    The Canadian border is open. For whatever reason the OP thinks only Democrats come to Florida, so clearly he has no clue about what happens here.

    If someone from say NY stays in Florida for 5 months, they are not snow birds they are practically just as much Floridian as being New Yorkers. Yet if they get Covid while in Florida and die Florida won't include those deaths in their death figures.

    The only way out of this is more vaccinations. Not!

    There are still two incontrovertible facts about covid.

    1. The average age of death is over 70.
    2. Those who die have other medical conditions and aren't healthy or are going to die soon regardless.

    Newsflash. Old people die. Sick people die. The only real way to move forward is to treat the infection, inflammation, and thrombosis. How to do this is already documented. Vaccines are not the solution, treatment and preventative maintenance are.

    The longer this goes on the more it looks like the "conspiracy theorists" were right.

    The Amazing DESANTIS!

    https://tdpelmedia.com › florida-reaches-lowest-case-rate-in-the-nation

    "Florida Reaches Lowest Case Rate in the Nation Tallahassee , Fla. - As a result of Governor Ron DeSantis' leadership and our data-driven approach free of mandates, the State of Florida has one of the lowest COVID-19 daily average case rates in the last 7 days per 100,000 residents in the United States."

    The superiority of the Freedom/Liberty approach over Left Wing Smashed Mouth Authoritarianism.

    Future President Ron DeSantis trolls Demented Biden, will sign bills limiting vaccine mandates in Brandon, FL.

    Can the Lying Demented Whitehouse see which fingers are sticking up?

    [​IMG]
    Rational Freedom/Liberty Approach beats Demented Smashed Mouth Authoritarianism.​

    Americans stepped up when asked to temporarily willingly sacrifice, then the power mad Left Wing Authoritarians turned on the people and demanded that the willingly surrendered freedoms be forever lost.

    FLORIDA'S DESANTIS DUBS BIDEN ADMIN THE ‘BRANDON ADMINISTRATION’
    Right In Demented Biden's Face.

    [​IMG]
    Looking anxiously for the 4pm pudding.​

    "The signing comes after DeSantis called a special legislative session on vaccine mandates."

    The triumphant governor tweeted: "I look forward to signing legislation that will protect their jobs and the jobs of all Floridians who are facing unjust termination due to heavy-handed mandates!"

    The Demented Biden administration attempted an illegitimate "mandate earlier in November requiring workers in businesses with 100 or more employees to either get vaccinated or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test. The federal agency that issued the rule suspended enforcement following a court" slapdown for the attempted illegal action.

    DeSantis is doing too good a job in promoting Florida.

    Traffic is heavier year 'round than I have ever seen, and I've lived here for decades. Property values have gone crazy.

    That is, there are more snow birds here now than I've ever seen. Of course the world has more humans on it than ever before....

    Maybe we can ship more infected illegals to Florida, since it's such a healthy place to live and convalesce.

    Hi from Florida! :)
    I think it will go down a slightly different way.
    It looks like covid spikes happen when population must shelter - in the summer more people spend indoors in Florida and southern states, so these states had the spike. Now, winter is coming and covid is taking a hold of the northern states and letting up on the southern states. If this correlation indicates causation (of being indoors -> increase in virus spread), then I think a new mutation will emerge in some southern country or state in the spring (like it was with India), and then this wave will spread in the south during next summer and will march up north just in time for 2022 elections.

    the disease ridden Democrat voters are on their way down from Democrat states
