Even though it’s too early to draw clear conclusions, and the virus could flare again, there are lessons from its approach.
I don't know how you can write this article and not acknowledge that Florida received more than it requested from the federal government to fight Covid-19. As a Florida resident I am thankful for that but that was also instrumental in our tentative success so it seems noteworthy.
We are 'CHAD' lol.
You don’t know this yet.
'Florida man saves state from rapid COVIDー19 spread.' GovRonDeSantis Corona FloridaMan
Myrtle Beach reopened also .. Reports I heard it was packed
Speculation science got it wrong! COVIDhoax
Outdoors is what happened. It's good for you
The media just can't let this go. They are upset because of less death.
There is nothing to “dodge” if most people act reasonably smart it’s not the threat you all faked it to be
Both!
Fingers crossed but it’s not over yet
Good Gov.
They have a great governor in Ron DeSantis. That was one big reason.
We should herd to the sunny, warm, and humid climate. Saline water is sheer perfection since it's antiseptic. We're made for Florida.
Liberals convinced Trump to destroy the US economy and he took the bait.
Because Florida didn't buy into the bullshit..except for the Chicken Littles.
Is anyone ever gonna report about Greece and their numbers they're surrounded by so many High deaths from all the other countries. They managed to have LOWEST DEATHS IN THE ALL OF EUROPE
Both
because many people like myself and my husband followed the self quarantine rules. Now that its opening up and trumpers are calling it a hoax once again.. we will keep rising in numbers.
Just maybe we're all being lied to so a totalitarian agenda can be pushed
They lied?
You happened.
Smart. Competent leadership
Call me in 4 weeks.
I live in Fl. Most don't realize how low population density is from Pensacola to Jax and south of Tallahassee down the west coast of Fl. Also, the beaches look crowded but its family groups close together who lived together for weeks. Heat, sun, humidity drops this bug on its ars
The “experts” we’re wrong again.
the worse is yet to come (bankruptcies, suicides, hunger, joblessness, depression, isolation, lost hope)... side effects from the over reaction.
PEOPLE are smarter than Government... politicians flip flopped, people acted Florida is an example of the MAJORITY being smarter than the minority... in USA, across much of world, after seeing disasters NewYork, Italy, UK ... isolate, reduce risk, care for others, survive
Smart and courageous
Which warm country with a good health system, practicing social distancing, washing hands has suffered a serious covid-19 outbreak? Weather differences have to be the main reason for the roughly 20 to 1 covid-19 death rate disparity between New York vs Florida and California.
We were scammed.
Check on reporting accuracy
The media hoax didn’t live to its hype
Just hang tight there twatwaffles
But remember all those spring breakers that died last month after going to the beaches? What? No?
It's just starting
Haven’t dodged anything yet... grabbing my popcorn and sitting back....
I’m sure the influx of The Tri staters running like rats from a sinking ship to the state and the mitigation done by the cruise lines helped keep the numbers down.
The news just had to sell stories. Experts knew less than they thought. Lots of bloated facts...
And how about the emotionally-wrought anxiety-ridden clowns clamoring to close down the beaches? Do the math. IDIOTS, one and all.
Hot weather, physical isolation, hand washing, masks? and bad epidemiologists with poor models?
So far. The mistake is that this is not over.
How about a 3rd option, those making the dire predictions are totally inept and absolute morons? I said there was no chance FL would develop hotspots due to heat and lowish pop density. I tracked ED visits for fever etc. There was NO increasing trend. Who was right? Idiots.
Maybe this?
Reality vs news
Someone is lying ...
Uhm, the authorities have been instructed to NOT report the numbers!! We have no idea what’s happening in that state
It's called intentional under reporting..
It is not over yet.
Virus wisely scared of Florida.
It’s not over yet
Dodged it? We are in the 3rd quarter and your calling the game with one point lead?
Good God, you people hoping for more deaths so you can be right is pathetic.
Its called not reporting actual correct data! If they did it'd look a lot worse!
Rupert Murdoch owns the WSJ and Fox News. I don't let an obscenely self-interested Brit tell me what and how to think. DeSantis didn't test. That's why Florida's stats are unrevealing.
I marked May 9 on the calendar to look for exponential rising amounts of dead people in Florida. Remember there is a roughly week lag before the people start dying. Let's see coming saturday!
Ain't over yet, skippy. NOT WITH LITTLE TRUMPY DESAN RE-OPENING THE STATE, WHEN THE COUNTRY HASN'T PEAKED....
'Smart'...lmao.
Good news that it wasn't worse
All the snow birds and spring breakers left; that's why Florida dodged the worst of it
When FL reports the truth I will believe they've dodged a bullet. Report the lying not the fantasy.
lets give it 2 weeks before you call Florida a success story. They stopped providing death counts. wonder whhhhy?
Florida refused to report infections and deaths.
Republican led state - that’s what happened. Democrat led states have far left policies that are getting played out right now in real life with deadly consequences.
They spread the virus.
Answer: sun and heat for all you Science worshipers
The same thing that happened everywhere else: Alarmism based on mathematical prediction models and lack of data... IF we are gracious about it.
It’s too soon to even write this article. Wait and see in 4 weeks
LOL. Bookmarked.
How many deaths does it take to be dire?
Did Florida have unrestricted use of medications? Some other states did not. This article describes unprecedented prevention of severe disease with EARLY treatment. I’ll say it again - EARLY treatment. Please read this article slowly - it is game changing.
Heat
Let’s just ignore the evidence that Florida is covering up cases, shall we?
Their health department isn't reporting deaths anymore. Easy to say nothing is going on if you don't report it.
FL opened their beaches last weekend; it’s going to look a little different next weekend-ish Up to 14 days before symptoms present.
What happened is that DeSantis kept the numbers from being reported.
Models, circa two months ago: garbage in, garbage out. For this, we nuked our economy.
This is based on a short term “reality”.
Lies happened!
Lying about the numbers, of course.
start with not counting deaths from snowbirds. Only counting people that passed after testing positive; no presumptive cases counted unless test and finally don’t have your medical examiners release their numbers if they don’t match the official count.
The pandemic is over? What a relief.🙄
Almost every single prediction has been dire and been wrong.
Let’s talk in 4 weeks.
Yet we never here about it
And they stopped reporting corona cases. This State is whack.
It’s evident most of the people here commenting didn’t read the article
Still have yet to see a believable explanation as to why everybody was quarantined instead of the sick being quarantined as in past epidemics.
Nature. That’s what happened. Wasn’t luck nor smarts. Despite all of the politicization. It’s nature.
MJL1212 I guess we were social distancing +taking personal responsibility —just like I said. Here in Florida, though much maligned by the rest of the country but mostly “experts” in NYC, we don’t rely exclusively on our political masters to show us the way. You are well, I hope.
Florida isn't letting double counting of cases, or letting recovered patients back into nursing homes, like NYGovCuomo.
I'm hiring a few people in the area to keep Records of data entry / software. It’s a work from home . Must be willing to get HIPAA certified(it takes an $50/ hr online). Full and part time inbox 'info' for more details.
Lies and fear to gain power. Worked.
The Florida governor ordered doctors and mortuaries to stop reporting COVID-19 deaths. I’m sure their numbers are bogus
My uneducated guess: absence of overcrowded infected subways. Sunshine. Social distancing made tolerable by more open space.
They lie. They are not keeping accurate records just a like voting.
As if Florida’s number are only a little different than the projections. We are at least an order of magnitude better. Next you’re going to say that NYC was just unlucky.
I thought Florida is shining now, isn't it? Under the sun, virus are gone basically.
NYC has always been ground zero for a biological attack..that's what happened..The Chinese dropped a super bug on us...Trump pull our CDC defense out of China..☠😷🌎
It’s not over, yet, why the past tense?
People protected themselves regardless of the bs coming out of the WH, gov Desantis, and the Fox talking heads. Why? A lot of sr citizens in FL that are away from young families and dont have to work cose they are retired. Nothing to do with politicians and their stupid policies
But it's the economy, stupid. Tourism is dead. FL highest unemployment claims in USA.
Pre-mature.
Florida prioritized nursing homes. Period.
Stand by.
They dodged it with little testing and under reporting.
Probably because the Governor will not let the Coroners release death Numbers from COVID19.
Simple. Smart approach. Quarantine elderly especially in nursing homes and the vulnerable ONLY. Obvious but too complicated for many clown governors like Cuomo who killed elderly in nursing homes.
Talking about it as though it’s already over...it’s what CV deniers commonly do.
Closing down beaches is not a good move by authorities. All this does is irritate freedom loving taxpayers. Should we take a mind to, we the people could flood beaches like a tidal wave and there would be no countactive move available to the people in charge of this plandemic..
possibly the Covid19 virus does better in cooler climate condition - may be the reason the warmer states appear to have less of a problem even though many of them are taking this crisis way too lightly
Because the media tend to like hair on fire stuff.... Hot beaches... Salt water... Not good for viruses
Is this a joke? FL MEs have been ordered to not report deaths from COVID19
Heat/humidity and people not going to and from work in a packed metal tube.
too early to tell. wait a few months. For now, sunnier weather helps
1) Under-reporting; 2) Localities started sheltering in home before the state and 3) visitors to the state left and brought it with them.
It’s a virus and it’s hot in Florida. Duh. It’s science.
The governor has blocked local coroners from disclosing Coronavirus deaths so that he can report an artificially low death toll.
Lol way too early to say this.
Uhm, health officials have been instructed to not provide data. That's the reality.
they aren't counting the way most other states are.
Unlike New York City, Florida is not reliant on an underground subway system.
It is just beginning 'pandemic will last 18 months or longer and could include multiple waves of illness'
They don’t test or report deaths. You’re also writing about the virus as if it were a tornado and just passed thru. This is far from over
Bad numbers from Fauci.
I’m curious how many people on spring break spread it once they returned home..they wouldn’t be in Florida’s numbers, but might be counted elsewhere. That would be helpful for the research end, but probably can’t be quantified.
That’s because the virus has been in Florida for over 6 months. I had it in late November!
They went to the beach. It helps.
I don’t think this is past tense, as the copy suggests. I think Florida is still in for a Covid-19 shock.
Science, CDC, HHS, and all the government bureaucracies failed. Trump did an EXCELLENT job given the failures of Medical Doctors (over-rated). Listen to Fareed Zakaria explain, 'Science only works when they have decades to study a problem. There was NO CONSENSUS on Covid19.'
Or you could really dig in and do some real journalism and find out that numbers are being suppressed.
As I understand it, Florida has a problem with math.
IT'S NOT OVER YOU FUCKING HACKS, STOP WRITING ARTICLES THAT SUGGEST IT IS.
Don’t count your chickens just yet boyo
They’re cooking the books . That’s how. Give it a month or two and they won’t be able to hide it.
Stay tuned dipshits...
This feels comically and tragically premature.
Probably going to the beaches and enjoying society, sun and fun raised their immunity levels.
Wait...this is over?
The numbers are not accurate. DumbSantis
They're not reporting the death count.
Always plan for the worst and hope for the best. If you don’t do mass testing how will you know who is infected. When symptoms show it’s too late.
Didn’t report the real numbers that’s how
The right wing way of reporting. I had my eyes closed so I didn't see anything so I can say with confidence that nothing happened.
The media loves to sensualize everything. Well if they only way to make money is to get viewership and people tune in more for extreme events, then it becomes cascading effect.
IHME_UW needs to be held accountable, it’s beyond hilarious seeing these coronabros rooting for the virus getting triggered that Florida has managed the virus with common sense.
How can you say this without any accurate reporting of infection and death?
How do they know the virus predictions were wrong when they have stopped reporting deathsDeSantisBetrayedFlorida
YOU happened Wall Street Journal! You should be sued into oblivion!
They are hiding the truth from us. That’s how
We don’t know the numbers. The governor is hiding them.
Snowbirds all ordered home likely helped
'Smart' and 'Florida' haha
The governor started preventing disclosure of cases
Hype drives politicians and media, and fear traps citizens and turns them against each other. Actual settled science beats political science every time.
They haven't finished cooking yet and they exported quite a few effectees
They are hiding the real numbers and barely testing.. so yea.. low numbers🙄
Why do you keep talking as past tense? People are dying by the hundreds and this so call reporters write as if it is over
Meth can cocaine kills the corona virus, bro
