BREAKING: The Florida Department of Health reported 15,300 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, making it the highest one-day total for a state in the U.S. since the pandemic began.

There were 86 new deaths in Arizona on Saturday. The state has now recorded 2,237 total deaths since the pandemic began. People gather at the 33 & Melt restaurant"maskless" rally and dinner to protest mandatory face mask restrictions during the coronavirus disease pandemic in Windermere, Florida, July 11, 2020.Some of the increase in new cases could be attributed to the amount of tests being conducted -- there were 136,711 tests conducted on Saturday, the highest for the state by far.In a press conference on Saturday, Florida Gov. DeSantis insisted his state is a leader in coronavirus testing.

"New York State continues to move forward combatting COVID-19 with its phased, data-driven reopening in the face of alarming increases in cases throughout the country and in the nationwide death rate," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. A spokesman for former vice president Joe Biden’s campaign reacted to President Trump’s decision to wear a mask during his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Saturday, slamming him for spending months “ignoring the advice of medical experts,” and “politicizing” mask-wearing.

“Our Adult Son President remembered not to spread or catch an infectious respiratory disease today. Is this leadership??” the Biden campaign’s Digital Director Rob Flaherty joked.U.S. Army North confirms that 580 military medical personnel are being sent to Texas by U.S. Northern Command to assist with taking care of COVID-19 patients at civilian hospitals.

Any comments Mr. Trump ?

👏🏼 way to go Florida 👏🏼

Events were not inspired by genuine concern on issues in our society BUT fostered by political calculations linked to the next presidential election.

And still u leave out 99.9% survival rate

elkabong82 Oh..GOPChairwoman go on head and do your thang down there..cult leader had a mask on!!

Lies

Hell Yes, let's get the kiddies back in class and take em To see Mickey on the weekend. 😜

New deaths - Let’s look at totals

I would wait until the FBI finishes their investigation on the scam going on considering antibody testing.

Stop showing that picture of him wearing a mask. He should’ve been doing this 3 or 4 months ago! It’s just another photo op to add to his stupid collection, like the one with him holding a bible upside down in front of a church! Our country is a disaster and he’s doing nothing!😢

Panorama24H

national embarrassment

In the wake of Coronavirus we need our leadership, media, friends, family and neighbors to give each oher hope. As Americans we know all the negative, bot without HOPE our society will start to break down. Nurse and first responders are tired and need encouragement now.

Sure would have been nice if we had taken this seriously & had some leadership from the start. Instead we got this fake news chirping idiot who just now decides to wear a mask. But he's doing his best to help spread the virus still trying to force schools open.

Massive new testing equals jump in false positives.

It's too late to put on your mask Your Highness ! as a President, You should act as a guidepost to lead the people to follow suit, and yet you put your stakes on the opposite side, you're doomed to lose the fight with the pandemic.

so what At this point it's just a flu.

remember when we had the choice of desantis and a meth addict? i want the meth addict.

The numbers are BS people wakeup it’s all about control your day of judgement will come for spreading lies!!

Too bad tRump didn’t act sooner - heould have saved lives.

Wow! That’s a big problem...

Wow

ANTI-POTUS

😳....is that trump behind a mask? What happened to hydroxylchloroquine?

Glad you employer open amusement parks in FL

Wasn't it like 140k tests?

realkimstover ThIs is just another bible holding photo opp that went slightly better. SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS PEOPLE! He gets ZERO credit for finally wearing a mask after 137,000 American deaths. WAKE UP!

There is no such thing as COVID. It doesnt exist.

now trump's wearing a mask they are going to be deemed bad for your health,smart move mr trump

I know a lot of Floridians and no one knows of any cases..weird

And how have the deaths been in Florida?

But they talking about opening schools they trying to kill our kids

Facts, ...

What you need to know about COVID. It cannot survive more than a few minutes in temps above 70 degrees. The media overhyped it. Masks are more likely to put you at other illness risk & social distancing was a high school project.

Oh no. Go scare someone else you idiots. Learn how to report a true story. Number of deaths

Well that is exactly where the blame lies. But regeneration, he takes responsibility for nothing. How different this could all have been.

tRump in a blue tie! Doesn’t he know this is an election year 🌊 and every photo op is important? 😂

Awesome thinningtheherd

Alarming to say the least

The lone ranger!

Congrats. That means we all have it. Can we move on. No other country is giving 2 shits

This is the worse day ever!!! So many cases!

He does look like the Lone Ranger !

Cases... What's the trend on deaths? And not the ones we're importing from Mexico.

137,000 dead Americans

No new cases from protesters! None!!!

20% positivity rate! That’s nuts. Obviously they need more testing if the rate is that high.

Meanwhile in Chicago 🙄

Trump is the WORST President in history. He needs to go in November. I Will NOT vote for him or ANY Republican.

And how many people have died? How many people were asymptomatic? How many of these are false positives

But thank god that trump is wearing a mask now, four months after he should have, because that is going to solve everything. Thank you supreme leader for your infallible guidance.

Florida is the winner! 😒

15,300 positive yesterday 45 deaths 0.29%! Overall last 27 days in Florida 189,342 new cases last 27 days... 1253 deaths. = every single day they run out of test in florida!!!!everyday!!!!! 0.66% on people getting tested

They’re doing great!

POTUS looks good in a mask. Keep it up Mr. President!!!

This only scare people that are doing the right thing.

I saw that the mayor of Atl is going back to phase 1. I know DeSatan won't. I think each mayor of each city needs to take responsibility and shut down Florida NOW! DeSantisKilledFloridians4Trump Floridacoronavirus

😱😱😱😭😱

Masks work so effectively that Teachers are revolting against going back to school... regardless of masks.

AND WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT? Shutdown?

We’re good thanks!! Any news on missing children and child trafficking that has been going on for decades What about satanic worshipping pedophiles that have taken over the world? Come Lord Jesus Come!! 🇺🇸🙏🏻❤️

Governor DeSantis is a disaster. The lack of leadership, early reopening and not listening to medical experts has resulted in surging infections and deaths.

Hoax!!! It disappeared back in April duh 🙄 TraitorTrump

Cases, cases cases. Why not provide more info on the cases? How many are back logged data? Is this due to increased testing? How many required hospitalization vs self quarantine? How many were asymptomatic? Please tell the whole story..

RonDeSantisFL destroyed Florida and he doesn’t care!👇 Worst reopening plan ever!👇

realkimstover We are a stupid country.

Governor Dollar Store Trump making Florida Great in the same way that Donald Trump is the country.......

Hmm.

Whole lot of people have colds. That tends to happen among humanity for the last tens of thousands of years.

So on a Sunday before 1 ok they have over 15000 new cases? Kinda far fetched to me

Yes. And the Great Unmasked have started stalking the masked people in northern Florida. Deliberately. I won't be going back out for a while.

coronavirus

Not one a protester!!!

MEDIA please stop making a big deal out of the traitor who has yet to address the bounties on our soldiers finally putting on a mask. Please!

God bless President Joe Biden.

And deaths are way down.... stupid media asinine narrative!

Keep em coming

He looks like thunder, not a happy bunny. probably messing up his bronzer!

Reason: GOP convention

Yikes

Thoughts and prayers

highest one day number of tests by over 50%.. our positivity rate fell to the lowest in 3 weeks

Death rate?

The coward finally gives in to the MASK, that’s what a psychopath does.

Florida, not only 1 in 'Florida Man' stories, but science deniers too

Love all the idiots that don’t believe in masks. And that this is not an issue

At this point, contact tracing won't even help... Everyone needs to MaskUp and be safe. SocialDistancing works. Be safe, everyone. Don't take risks.

And it's barely 1pm there..

Any more death or are we just growing in cases?

Can we sell Florida

Do we have a number of deaths?
