and once again putting an international spotlight on a place that does not have the virus under control.The Florida Department of Health received 135,992 results from people who have never been tested before, and 15,299 of those tests came back positive for Covid-19. The positivity rate of new infections was 11.25 percent, which is at least a two-week low and down significantly since the state’s record high of 18 percent reported on Wednesday.
“Florida COVID positive cases decline for a third day in a row to 11.25% despite a record 142,981 tests results returned in a single day,”, Helen Aguirre Ferré, using a figure that includes those who have been tested multiple times. “Average age of those testing positive also decreased: 38 years old.”
DeSantis has cast the falling median age of those contracting the disease as a positive, but public health experts note that the spread in younger populations increases the likelihood of people in at-risk populations, like seniors, getting sick. There are also negative impacts on younger people who get sick, even if they don’t land in the hospital.
Ferré drew heat on Friday after using 93 new deaths in a tweet in an attempt to signal optimism about that day’s numbers. The death count was down from a record 120 the previous day, but her response was still seen as callous by many for using nearly 100 dead Floridians as positive messaging.
Come on down republicans. Your master requires it. And the governor will welcome you with open arms.
UROCKlive1 It seems almost weekly that a new record of cases gets broken.
UROCKlive1 Sad, so sad..GovRonDeSantis needs to resign for spending more time licking terrorist trump than tending to the needs of the citizens of the great state of Florida
Wasn't Coronavirus a liberal hoax? 😂
Gov Disaster helps to set another record.
This is the result by the president, the governor, and some people who do not believe in science. Covid_19
Now is not deaths because New Yory has 32,500 and Florida ONlY 4,200
And people are still going there and taking their kids to Disney?

Once again, Florida proves it's the biggest dick in the U.S.
Most of which are young ppl that didn't even know they had it and death rate continues to go down even with all these new cases which shows the media is hyping cases for political points against Trump. We all knew libs hate Trump more than they care about truth or U.S. citizens
April 26, New York reported 16,546 cases. Did you forget about that🤔🤔🤔🤔.

Get them schools opened.
SethAbramson A Sunday, when normally weekends are low count days. Is Tuesday going to be like 30k?
Enablers will call it fake news and blame Fauci.
Come to Florida, get Covid!
SethAbramson Disney is open so they can fook off home to infect 1000’s of others? WTAF!
I live in Florida and only know of two people in Florida that had supposed c-virus.Numbers reported don’t make sense.realDonaldTrump USSupremeCourt
SethAbramson G-d help us when there's a spike from Disney World. It'll be a nightmare.
And still our governor does nothing but says lies about how great we’re doing and we have beds etc we’re doing more testing etc.. it’s called propaganda ..
LaurieWorby Happiest Place on Earth!'
Jrlvr88 Well done DeDuffus GovernorDeDuffus
SethAbramson Since GovRonDeSantis has been blatantly and deliberately fudging the numbers, we can only imagine that it’s far worse than 15,000+ cases. GOP lies and people keep dying. The Party of pro-life is DEAD🤯
SethAbramson GovRonDeSantis realDonaldTrump
SethAbramson This is well beyond joking. So let’s retire FloridaMorons for once and all.
SethAbramson So let’s open Disney World to celebrate this auspicious occasion.
JusticeTruth10 Sounds like a great time to go ahead and open Disney World! 🙌🙌
We all knew if anyone could screw this up it would be Florida. Just wait till Disney World opens up! Coronapalooza!
Cases.
Case counts are based on CDC guidelines. CDC guidelines are a house of cards.
Well What The Fuck Are They Doing ?
The total death toll of COVID for the week of july4th was 71, that is minuscule compared to 15k a day of new cases , how come that number isn’t reported along with the new cases?
But the governor says it’s the media’s fault? As a Floridian everything seems like normal out there.
Congrats. I'm sure your governor is proud. 1. Make Florida Great!
The people of Florida love getting the caronavirus COVID19!
Sending healing thoughts and vibes to Floridians. I hope your Governor is giving you daily briefings with science based facts about masks? I pray he is.
realDonaldTrump; patron saint of COVID19
Wrote this the other day to warn what could happen to you if you end up in the Emergency Room in an area that did not take Covid seriously. Be careful.
Florida’s deathrate smashed the epidemic thresh hold, currently at 1.5%
