Gimenez also said he was rolling back the reopening of entertainment venues, including movie theaters, bowling alleys and casinos under county control. The county previously closed its beaches for the Independence Day holiday weekend.

DeSantis's communications director, Helen Aguirre Ferre, said in an email that the growth in cases in the state was in part because Florida has also hit a new record in the number of tests performed: 85,086. The percentage of those receiving positive results remained constant at 14 percent, she said.

100% of the population at one time or another has had a flu or virus symptoms. Even with yearly vaccinations,there’s still hospitalizations, deaths and recoveries!

And the important stat - deaths - last check NYC holds the undisputed title

Never will compare the thousands killed NY political leadership decisions from Mar thru June.

Oh well lol

Totally believable. Money over people. That’s what it’s all about.

MeetThePress I foresee a class action suit against DeSantis.

Convince us that case count matters.....

If Florida had closed its beaches and resorts to out of state vacationers in June, you more than likely would not be seeing these high numbers.

LMAO

But Florida is NOT into murdering their elderly.

Florida MakeFloridaYoungAgain COVIDIDIOTS

Florida man ... gets coronavirus

MeetThePress Oooh, so scary... NOT!

MeetThePress MeetThePress I thought realDonaldTrump told us the virus was on the wane? Hmm? Another lie.

MeetThePress Get a new Governor

Is that man on the cover single?

It’s time media stop focusing on the numbers. What the media needs to highlight are the medical aftermath of the virus. This isn’t just a case of “survive or die.” There will be lingering health problems. Would you like to live out your life hooked to a dialysis machine?

Participation trophy for Florida.

Yet no overcrowded hospitals. Hmmmm...

Yet the death rate is at its lowest. Stop the fear mongering.

What is the % of total tested to positive cases found? What is the % of positive cases to hospitalizations? What is the % of hospitalizations to ventilators? What is the % of deaths to ventilators? Theses are the numbers that MATTER.

Congratulations?

This didn’t have to happen. This is on Donnie Small Hands and his chief fluffer, Ron DeSantis. These two betrayed their constituents for political purposes and should never hold any office, ever again, and, maybe be charged with negligent homicide.

Great news! The Stock market will put another 2% on Monday .

The elder population of Florida, who voted for Trump in 2016, are probably all hiding in fear, scared for their lives, and pretty pissed at DeucheSantis and Trump.

Anybody remember when red states looked at New York and sneered about how blue states were failing to handle this problem? DiSantis even suggested putting people from the northeast in quarantine if they traveled to Florida. Life comes at you fast. Death, too.

Bloody Antifa!!....lol.

Maybe FL’s governor shouldn’t have been so quick to bad mouth NY? Just a thought.

My god, we have learned nothing for all the death & sickness NY went through...

No one to blame but .realDonaldTrump & .GovRonDeSantis. First there is cases then there is death. Covid19 coronavirus VoteGOPout in 2020 for sacrificing Troops & AmericanLives. Resist Resistance TheResistance SignOfResistance indivisible indivisibleteam 🌊

So much winning

Meh, it's Florida, and to be expected,, now c'mon, let's hit the beach!

Good job, governor asshole! GovRonDeSantis

Record high negatives as well...

Not even close in the death rate though. But partisan hacks gonna partisan.

Florida man on the road again 😂

Germs for Justice!

17 deaths and over 11,000 cases

Because we’re testing. Record high testing results in record high detection.
