Florida's reopening schedule trailed the two Western states by about two weeks, and like them, Florida has seen a stunning rise in coronavirus case.

Florida reopened bars on June 5, when the state was recording a little more than 1,000 new cases per day. By June 12 the state began recording nearly twice as many daily new cases. By June 26, when DeSantis barred alcohol consumption at bars the state recorded 9,580 new cases.

DeSantis justified reopening, in part, because COVID-19 hospitalization rates and death rates were dropping and hospitals had ample beds, ventilators and other capacity to handle a surge in patients throughout May and June.spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferré, said in a June 12 email to FLORIDA TODAY, part of the USA TODAY Network.

For the next three weeks, Wolfson added: “what we really have to look at carefully is not only the hospital admissions, but the hospital admissions for COVID, and then those that go into ICU.”Through the reopening in May and June, Wolfson said increased hospital use was due only to the backlog of elective and non-essential procedures being caught up. But for the past week he says there’s a new added burden of COVID-19 cases that wasn’t there before.

Health officials also warn against unnecessary risky trips, but on June 24, an 82-year-old Orange County woman with dementia died after being admitted to the hospital on June 15 with a cough and shortness of breath. She had recently taken a “shopping vacation in Miami,” the medical examiner noted, and the family admitted"no one wore masks or practiced social distancing."

And deaths have plummeted. How convenient you leave that out.

You can’t base everything on case s -It’s ok as long as hospitalizations are down.... it was never our goal to completely stop the spread - it needs to run its course

It’s ok as long as hospitalizations are going down.... it was never our goal to stop the press - it needs to run its course

Just because cases are up doesn’t mean the world gonna end good grief

Yet, the overall Coronavirus Death Rate in Florida is at . 034% Something that the Fake News Mainstream Media won't reveal because it doesn't fit their 2020 Biden Campaign Narrative.

Thanks to the protests ask the mayor of Atlanta about that

And yet, despite riot police and national guard members that now have Covid, the rioters and looters have nothing to do with the new cases? Trying to blame reopening the economy on new cases? Hahahahahaha! The world saw what it saw. Shouting, chanting, spitting, touching.

Based on the mortality stats released by GovRonDeSantis, the most vulnerable population in Florida are 21 - 35 year olds. This is about young adults making careless choices. Not policy failures. Especially when the mortality rate is still significantly less than 1%.

LOOK AT TRAVEL PATTERNS. IT'S STARING YOU IN THE FACE.

FloridaMan should be officially named DeSantis.

90+ degrees everyday in Florida. How is that “summer heat will kill the virus” theory working?

Why does the media care more about cases than people dying. Why don't they report how many fewer deaths we have now?

GovRonDeSantis has to make things look normal for realDonaldTrump convention. Ron doesn’t give a dam about the students, staff, and administrators.
