DeSantis says Florida COVID cases will decrease in coming weeks, 'we are not shutting down'

said he expects COVID-19 cases to drop in the coming weeks and will not impose any precautionary restrictions.

DeSantis credited his response to COVID, which has focused on vaccinating seniors and nursing home residents, for the fact that fewer Floridians are dying now than last August. A year ago, Florida was averaging about 180 COVID deaths per day during an early August spike, but last week averaged 58 per day. Deaths don't spike until a few weeks after hospitalizations as the disease usually takes weeks to kill.

Hospitals around the state report putting emergency room patients in beds in hallways and are documenting a noticeable drop in the age of COVID patients. Some hospitals are again banning visitors or postponing elective surgeries. DeSantis did encourage people to get vaccinated, saying while it is not a perfect barrier against the disease the shots do provide a strong defense against getting seriously ill. About 95 percent of those hospitalized and almost all recent deaths have been among the unvaccinated, hospital officials have said. The Florida counties with the lowest vaccination rates and some of the highest per-capita hospitalizations are heavily Republican.

Like EVERY RepubliNAZI believes: 💲 Souls

Ron DeSantis: 0 - Grim Reaper: 4

The epitome of cognitive dissonance. His mind is a mess of conspiracy theories, racist inclinations, emperor worship...

I love how these politicians believe it's the school's responsibility protecting the economy and jobs. With the highest COVID infection rate and being that he reports none of it and fired his health commissioner for reporting it- many will die so there will be job openings

Now THERE is a MANS' Governor!!

Good for him for not caving

DeSantis easing the minds of Floridians on the daily

Hero

I guess he is already vaccinated so he doesn’t care others
