    Surely you then you can provide MANY accounts of such events? Or no?

    That's a flat out lie, no one in Florida leadership has made such a statement.

    Yet new Florida cases are down by almost 2/3 since 7/15/20.

    Nice use of a media scare tactic to prove a non-point.

    Non-residents make up about 8% of hospitalizations which is very high considering the Florida population versus visitor population.

    It's also worth noting the CV-19 hotspots in Florida have required the wearing of masks since March and it has done little to slow down the spread of the virus.

    Florida is a tourist state. Those percentages aren’t surprising.

    False both resident and non-resident hospitalizations data is posted to the dashboard, they are seperated because that is how they are collected and should be seperated to determine if there is a ned to require non-residents to be quarantined after arriving into the state. At one time they where not being admitted but that ended a month or so back.

    I understand but based on ration the number is quite high, but it is worth noting the predicted gloom, death and doom never happened, millions where spent setting up all types of CV-19 facilities that where never utilized.

    And there is only one person to thank for that huge very expensive mistake, Dr. Fraudi.

    Did you really just call a record number of hospitalizations a "non-point?"

    That's normal, they begin arriving around the last week of July and then throughout August mostly from the Midwest and the NE, come mid October the the real snowbirds the Canadians will start showing up and will be bring a lot of cold cash with them, which we love. And the cool part is a lot of a lot of Canadians buy property here so they are paying tax's into the system and taking very little out.

    The rotten part is a lot of the North Easterners are not going home any more other than for short visits with family back home, they are moving out of the third world s-holes they grew up in and are moving here to die.

    While testing is way up and driving the case numbers up hospitalizations and deaths are way down and that's good, this was going to happen one way or the other, the lockdown simply delayed the inevitable, if CV-19 had been allowed to run it's course the current surge would have happened months ago and we would have this problem in the rear view mirror by now.

    Only certan parts of the state, which oddly enough are also hot spots for CV-19, the majority of Florida is rural AG country and doesn't rely on tourism to survive.

    110 heat index that's nothing to sweat over, I worked as a welder in that heat for years, the trick is don't change your shirt, wear long sleeves and a hat and the world is fine.

    The **** are you talking about?

    The "record hospitalizations" story is like 2 days old.

    And the 277 deaths that Florida reported - yesterday - is a new all time single day record.

    Born in Broward and escaped in 2015.

    Took my money and my honey and fled that fourth world s-hole out to real rural Florida, once in a while I arm up, Colt on the hip and a AR-15 in the rack on the floor, grab a couple of 11 oz Pepper Gel fire extinguisher cans of MACE and go back to Broward to stock up on supplies and then escape again before they notice I'm back in town. ;-)

    Hopefully by tomorrow we will drop below 10% tested will be infected, what a lot of people fail to understand is, early on only those with symptoms could be tested, as the number of test kits ramped up anyone who wanted to be tested, could be tested and for free and that's is when the peaking began, the virus was out there, people had CV-19 but had no or very mild symptoms, but the testing wasn't available to run the numbers up.

    Very true.

    It's not bad at all compared to urban areas where the heat is drive right through the roof by all of the cars on the road and a few trillion BTU's of A/C units running.

    Plus the air inland is extremely clean thanks to all of the AG going on.

    Yes, but our winter is amazing. My husband and I are both mid-westerners. When the temps get into the 40s & 50s, we open the windows, bring out the quilts (homemade in Kansas by my MIL,) the sweat pants & slippers. Great sleeping fun!! I've had the same two pair of sweatpants that I bought over 20 years ago, when I first moved to Florida. That's how little I wear them. They are still in almost brand new shape.
    I lived in St. Pete for two years. SE Florida summers are much worse, IMO.

    Really, then please explain why a guy here in Florida who tested positive for CV-19 and was killed in a motorcycle accident get listed as a CV-19 death and that's just the beginning, why is it if a person in hospice dies and is listed as a CV-19 death, earn the hospice $9K more than if the death was classified as what that person actually died from?

    Follow the money and you will find the corruption behind CV-19.

    Can you explain why we have so many excess deaths this year? Those extra 150,000 people died of something.

    Well it wasn't CV-19 as those deaths are under 10K.

    They are cleaning those up as we go. There's so much data, and mistakes will be made. He was removed from the covid count weeks ago. If you want humans to be perfect, you should strive to be perfect, first, as an example to all the rest of us flawed earthlings.

    Nationwide, we are well over expected deaths. If nobody died of COVID, what did those people die of?
