Things have changed since October 27, when the Office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a press release with the headline, “Florida Reaches Lowest Case Rate in the Nation?”

, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed that “there is no one else in the entire United States, I think, that has done more to make it harder to keep people healthy than Ron DeSantis:”

DeSantis has also fought against Covid-19 vaccination requirements, even though Florida has lagged about half the states in the U.S. in vaccination coverage., as of 6 am EDT on December 22, with 62.99 percent of their population fully vaccinated, Florida ranked 23rd out of 50 states plus Washington, DC.

You might not jump at the chance to eat an entry that came in 23rd out of 51 in a baking contest. Such a ranking in vaccination coverage isn’t exactly “winning” either. Yet, the Governor’s October 27 press release included the following quote from DeSantis: “Without mandates or lockdowns, Covid-19 cases in Florida have decreased 90% since August. In addition to cases, hospitalizations have plummeted in our state.

Umm, Covid-19 cases tend to drop in a state after a Covid-19 surge in the same way that partygoers leave your house after they’ve eaten all the food and drunk all your beer. Once the viruses have infected so many people, they essentially run out of people to infect and move to other areas where more susceptible people may be available. Sure vaccination may have helped bring down the number of cases. But it’s not as if Florida has been leading the nation in vaccination coverage.

The change in seasons coupled with the lack of adequate Covid-19 precautions likely led to the current Winter surge. Yes, the Omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may be further fueling the current Winter surge. But don’t blame the surge solely on the Omicron variant. Covid-19 cases were already on the upswing in different parts in the U.S. in November, prior to the spread of the Omicron variant.

Thanks DeSantis for lying and misleading us Republicans on several occasions. We’re breaking records of the number of cases almost daily. Can’t wait until we elect a honest and true conservative to be our Governor.

buddies got covid9000

Bragging rights for GovRonDeSantis - a new record!

We don't care about Covid no matter how hard you push the fish

So does NY

Now that’s a lie🤣😂🤣

Hum

Name another illness people who don’t feel sick or have any symptoms will wait in line for hours to find out they are not sick?!

Forbes strikes again. Poor reporting. 13k cases and... 17 deaths. All where Covid was part of other conditions. New York State. 54,000 cases. 53 deaths. Same co-morbitity. BS on Forbes. These are Flu numbers.

Time for new Governor

That GovRonDeSantis victory lap strikes again

Where’s the news on Michigan and New York?

marcushjohnson That’s cus all the snow birds bringing it down here! Stay y’all ass up north lol

😢😢

Probably all the northerners coming down here over Christmas from their blue states.

As they say in Florida “we don’t do covid here. We just living” 🤡

marcushjohnson Florida self-destructs to prove the germ theory.

Good thing they have monoclonal antibody treatment centers set up for use…

Tricky to stay healthy in Florida these days, vaccinate?

How many resulted in hospitalization or death?

Only number that matters is hospitalizations. States and cities that don’t test or all tests are home tests hide the truth

If Red States so bad, than why statistically is everyone from blue states flooding, repeat, flooding to red states? How come no one from Red states are migrating to blue states? Answer that, someone answer that.

So what, no one is getting sick or dying. I guess now even Forbes can be catigorized as main stream slime ball media.

DuhSantis

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my page. I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to work with me?

Republican policy - let it be (Donald Trump has had 4 shots)!

Notice, they didn't mention COVID deaths. Why? Because sensational headlines is all they care about. Not a lot of COVID deaths compared to other times, but that headline doesn't grab attention.

Is deSatan aware of this? 🙄

What about the death rate? Notice you journalists stop reporting this? You used to tell us the number of death each day a year or so ago.

stay at house

Wait you mean to tell me the state with the highest tourism has a lot of new covid cases? No way! Any news on NY numbers Forbes? They’re really efing high. Liberal rag

Florida is a covid incubator due to Republicans conservatives policies , no vaccines mandates nor mask mandates Desantis lies about the data on infections and death rates .

Our Governor is MISSING IN ACTION!

Surprise, surprise……. Not really, with the misinformation spewed by the usual crowd, it is a miracle the results are not even worse than they are. Suddenly radio silence from their “ defiant and vigilant” governor.

Ok. Now do NY, NJ and many other blue states. High new Covid cases even with their stupid mandates. Go figure!

Trump said that it’s a cold, don’t mind, just drink more boiled water

All good. Lots of unvaxxed Ivermectin slurping GOP voters. It may bring some races into play.

Just curious if Forbes has done any other articles on the rise in cases everywhere? Like NY where you can’t go anywhere without a vaccine passport? Cases are rising all over the world so why the obsession with FL? It’s getting old.

33,000 daily holy crap

Thanks for covering this important issue.

Im shocked.
