Florida coronavirus cases jumped 35% over the previous day on Saturday, smashing a single-day record, just as state officials are gearing up to host thousands of visitors for the Republican National Convention in August.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump — has not supported business and behavior restrictions meant to stem the spread of the virus. He was one of the last governors to issue a statewide stay-at-home order, which took effect in Florida on April 1. More than 20% of Floridians are 65 and older, a demographic that is particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. DeSantis triggered an uproar in April when he called Florida “God’s waiting room” because of its elderly population.
Pack them in tight. That will effectively reduce the numbers of republicans. Perhaps not such a bad thing for Democrats.
Good luck Florida.
The important number is how many are hospitalized . Especially since 99% of the people who get it ,get better on their own.
Florida is ranked 38th in the nation in per capita cases. The Top 10 states all have Democrats for governors. Hmmm
All those young white kids on vacation....
Who cares
Yahoo News just loves to fan the flames of discontent
WTG Florida!
