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."

I’ve said it 10 times!!! Ron DeSantis is the worst governor in the US! Clueless!!
Well DeSantis why didn't you do something sooner instead of posturing like a peacock.
The fact is Florida has a surge of COVID infections because the governor chose appeasing the 🤡 president and not the residents of FL. Pathetic

DeSantis is saying focus on facts? 😂😂😂
ANYBODY!!!!!Please run for Governor of Florida. ANYONE?
Oh another GOP leader breaks with Trump and his delusional cult in denying virus science? Welcome to reality Governor
The facts are we need contact tracers in numbers sufficient to handle the load and if that isnt doable, reduce the load by shutting down. At a minimum, mandate masks. Now he is telling schools they must reopen in the fall despite the numbers, which will certainly go up.
Does he know he can get a haircut now?
Deaths have plummeted. Enough of your fear porn.
Fact: The fit on that suit is atrocious. RonDeSantisFL
So clearly he isn't 'people'
fact: FL has an outbreak that needn't have happened if he'd decided to avoid it
Anyone know the survival rate?
