    Florida never complied with lockdowns.

    "Rising cases" are a little late.

    But removing mask mandates, could have had something to do with it.

    Florida never had a mask mandate either

    This is summertime in FL

    All the old people stay indoors w the AC on I their gated communities...so yeah, the old people all dine together, live & play together indoors, it's not surprising.

    Anyone remember the ghonnerea outbreak in the Villages lol

    If deaths were a concern, you'd see panic. They're not. The media just trying to take down DeSantis as he starts his 2024 campaign.

    Nothing to see here, and btw, what's that new effective rate for the shot now? 24% lol. At what point are we going to recognize that this is NOT a vaccine as it doesn't prevent or cure a damn thing? It's a jab of something that's being tested still and hasn't proven successful at preventing infection or spread.

    Local mask mandates revoked by Gov. DeSantis

    As of May 3, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended all local COVID emergency orders, including mask mandates. In addition, DeSantis signed into law SB 2006, which limits government's ability to impose mask requirements and other social-distancing measures, and also prohibits "vaccine passports".

    https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/...is/5091745001/



    I always support mask mandates.

    COVID infects the lungs, it makes sense exhaled water droplets would be the main path of infection.

    DeSantis is doing good work.

    But removing mask mandates to stem the tide of COVID infection.

    Is like banning condoms to prevent the spread of AIDs.

    WTF are you smoking? Take a look where they are having problems. It's where there is low vaccination rate. Not a fukkin coincidence. The vaccine works.

    If you don't believe me about the vaccine working, how about listening to FL Governor Ron DeSantis?

    "These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality," he said. "If you look at the people that are being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all."

    "If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chances of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero," DeSantis added.

    i love you poems

    Effective rate not outpacing human immunity

    Coupled with all the reinfection ranging from Olympic athletes to Dems from TX to the Yankees to Golfers like Rahm & Brycon I'd think anyone with half a brain can independently conclude that the jab isn't preventing anything. Not death, not reinfection, not spread.

    It's pointless.

    Now, as I've said before. Gov $$ always gas strings...you gotta tow the political line. Ronny will day what needs to be said to get $$. His policies and actions speak for themselves. He is running in 24.

    You cite spikes in States that are all in the South and hot. Like I said before, everyone goes inside when it's hot in the South. If you had tens of thousands of old people indoors playing cribbage and there was a cold outbreak its nothing, if it were ghonnorea (like the villages) it's nothing, if it were the flu it's nothing.

    But you get to cherry pick a time & place & circumstance to fit your failing narrative so good work- you'd make a great CNN pundit. Just ignore the science, the published medical facts, the reinfection data on your TV, your politics and that affects the games you even bet on...just ignore all that and tell yourself that the jab works and will save the world lol.

    Been looking for a flu cure, Aids cure, cancer cure, herpes cure for 50 years and nothing...but Biden wins an election and suddenly his medical suggestions are godsend and the vaccines he endorses are the greatest thing since free porn.

    No.

    The agenda is

    1- this jab works
    2- open borders
    3- free $$ for votes
    4- no evictions
    5- withhold/ blackmail federal $ from those who disagree
    6- label healthy non jabbed as enemy

    Mind you...healthy non jabbed people haven't gotten anyone sick, are practicing good hygiene and likely working & paying taxes.

    Vaccines are 100% unrelated to infection spikes.

    Especially during the summer.

    But it is directly related to hospitalization and death spikes. Agree?

    As to the infection spikes, I disagree, there is some correlation, but not as strongly as the hosp/death correlation.

    The test positively rates are clearly higher in lesser-vaxxed populations. It's very easy to see that.

    And we've had the pandemic for 16 months and the vaccine really only for a few months or less.

    If COVID vaccines function as advertised.

    They can only reduce the infection rate of the pandemic.

    Never increase it. They don't make the pandemic more infectious, causing a spike.


    ...


    Florida ending mask mandates is behind rise in infections (if data is accurate).

    Nope. Delta variant is more contagious. We know this. So need a higher vax rate to reduce infections. It's not just Florida. It's spikes it all localities with low vaxx rates regardless of mask mandates. The opposite for high vaxx areas, which mostly don't have mask mandates (because not needed as much). It's 100% without a doubt the vaccine that has saved lives and reduced hospitalizations. Masks work to slow infection rate if everyone wears them consistently and properly. But the vaccine is allowing near herd immunity in some communities (but not in others).

    Masks can work to slow the spread but the vaccine can basically end the spread if enough people take it. If that had happened, what we're seeing now would not be happening. Full stop. If 80%+ everywhere had taken the vaccine, which should have happened, we wouldn't be talking about this.

    Now Trumpers are finally trying to rebrand as the Trump Vaccine to get Trumpers to take it. Too late. Their minds are always cemented. You blew it Huckabee Sanders, DeSantis, Hannity, etc etc etc. You killed your supporters, literally.

    There are a countries in europe with high vax rates.

    Who are seeing a spike.

    If delta variant is new. It takes 12 months to develop a vaccine for it.

    180 years.
    And it's one of the primary reasons folks with small business want to settle there, no income tax, make all the money you can without the state taking a bite.

    That and the climate which I don't quite understand, I spent some time in Fort Myers and I sweated my balls off.

    Nevada too, that's no state income tax also, but their COVID 19 problem right now is out of control.

    They're plenty of valid reasons why people are moving to Florida, but what the Governor is doing or not doing regarding COVID is not one of them.

    Texas and florida made blue states look bad by not locking down businesses.

    If democrats could get away with locking down every state in the country, they would.

    And you would support them. As you're determined to live in a future where you're starving, have no food and none of the rights or freedoms you enjoy now.
