On September 25, DeSantis signed an executive order reopening the state, freeing restaurants and bars to operate at 100% capacity. In the week leading up to the order, Florida reported more than 17,000 new cases. In the past 7 days, the state has reported more than 53,000 -- meaning three times more Floridians have tested positive in the past week than in the week before the reopening.
When the governor reopened the state, many of the local leaders raised objections.Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said he intended to keep restrictions in place despite the order, and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said he was disappointed he did not know about DeSantis' executive order until the news conference."As we deal with this pandemic, everything happens at a local level, this is where the rubber meets the road.
It is what it is.
Ah, vous aussi ?
Way to go Gov DeSanted
Please post the flu numbers along with C19. Thanks
Has the death rate and hospitalizations risen as well
That inconsistent test is just crap.. is not cases we need to worry about is the test that may tell you are positive even when you don’t take it
And the number of deaths?
Even your age gone its your options to take advice from your children ,stay home stay safe keep praying Allah subhanna wataallah is everything to us
GovRonDeSantis Man U nailed it
Cases, cases, cases, guess what, if you've expanded the list of things that now qualify as COVID-19 and allow or require doctors and hospitals to report these cases, and then encourage people to get tested then of course cases will rise. People become scared, more gov't control.
And just take into consideration... with DeSantis in charge these numbers are wayyy lower than they really are!!!
Cases?
Florida is doing better than Minnesota.
50 cases a day in my small semi rural county of Florida. 50 NEW CASES A DAY!!!
Our Governor doesn’t give a crap about Florida. He is too worried about kissing Trump’s ass.
Because he wanted to please Trump.
now do the flu
Who cares? 99% percent of those people will recover without issues. That's statistics. He's trying to save Florida from going bankrupt and not rely on a bailout unlike Nazi states like NY or California.
Adjectives like tripled are always code for... your full of crap and trying it spins a yarn. Media darling Cuomo (D) 176 deaths per 100,000 Media scorn DeSantis (R) 84 deaths per 100,000 Flush out your headgear CNN
Hr is a moron
Cases in many states that have NOT reopened have tripled or even quadrupled.
DeSantis, like our Trump Senators, have absolutely no regrets when it comes to sacrificing Floridians in order to show their criminal loyalty to their Trump. Skewing numbers, threatening Health Organizations, educators and front-liners. Unemployment tampering! Killing Florida
Florida residents don't you think it is time to lock up the republican in your state for murder and corruption. This can not stand anymore.
Now do California and New York and New Jersey.
But give Cuomo an Emmy!
Thanks to another tRump republican.
America is done for....
Hmmm....now do the states with Dem governors. Sounds to me like you're worried about the possibility of DeSantis wiping the floor with Cameltoe Harris in 2024.
how many deaths?
Ron is a covidiot. Not fit to stand for Florida.
and hes not closing down! and as floridians, were happy as fuck about it. if u want to be locked down stay inside, but in florida u have a right to choose to stay home or go to work, and we are appriciative.
Surprised?
Everyone escaped out of NY and NJ. Don’t believe the license platesprove otherwise
So what? Deaths have continued to decline since September. And don’t give me the ‘deaths lag’ crap. It’s been 2 months.
I know two idiots that traveled to FL for Thanksgiving.
Ppl who were proudly at WH will be coming soon ...Stay Tuned. 😻😾😷
DeSantis is always eager to please his lame duck President, over the safety of his constituents.
Whatever happened to good old 'Gross Negligence' and losing your job for it? If GovRonDeSantis can't do the job because he is too busy bowing to his master, someone who can should be there, this are Lives we're talking about, not missing whiteout from the stationary closet.
Just ignorant its sad
Not saying that’s what Floridians get. But hey this is who they voted for. Hope it’s worth it to everyone
This is what happens when following the devil and DeSantis did just that! He will hang you out to die while he survives!
I didn't think it possible, but the replies to this are even dumber than the article.
Florida voted for Republicans and trump. You get what you voted for
Yes, and they are proud of it. Wonder how many people in Florida died when they didn't have to. Voters,,,, get smarter. GOP will do this same thing over and over.
DeathSantis
Same time period, Cases up, deaths low. What are you scared of? Graph from strauss_matt
ITS ALL BS - THE GREAT CORONA HOAX WAKE UP SHEEPLE
If anyone of the idiots in these replies believes this bullshit CNN piece, we ask that you stay the fuck out of Florida. Where we are enjoying our freedoms and not being controlled by a virus that is not much worse than the flu.
You mean late Sept when everyone from places like New York go for the winter .
But yet the number of deaths have not.
Because he along with others think herd immunity without a ready to use vaccine is the answer. Ppl are stupid and it's killing ppl.
Context please cnn. Many states that have not reopened have MORE than tripled caseloads in the same time period. This is in tremendously bad faith.
CASES
Context matters a great deal here. Try providing some.
Comedy News Network. Providing a disservice to the community.
Have you done places where masks are mandated? You’ll see that great blue states are multiple times worse. Idiots.
And the hospitals are fine! As always!
cnn hates objectivity.
You left off “...lagging just behind the national increase”
DeSantisKillsFlorida
Would a direct comparison to Illinois or Minnesota, where they are much more restrictive, provide your viewership better context? Perhaps folks would learn that both have done significantly worse... or was informing not your point?
So have the 'lockdown' states....whats your point?
We are just fine in FL and deaths are down. Set the CT level to 30 and “cases” will disappear by 90%.
I thank God I live in Florida!! Stop Brainwashing the American people! shameoncnn
Florida's rate of increase is actually much lower than states with tough mandates
GovRonDeSantis RonDeSantisFL BECAUSE HE IS THE WORST GOVERNOR IN FLORIDA’S HISTORY
Did we close.. only thing was schools and bars. But everything else was open
9,085 cases for Nov 20. Winning!
No kidding.. Who knew that would happen 😡😄😄
Surprise !! He might as well go play golf for all the good he is doing!!!
Yeah he wants ya'll to die while making them money😒
DeathSantis started re-opening Florida in May. The moron thought that WWF was an essential business to have open during the 4-week safe-at-home order in April.
But who is actually counting?
Give me a break, FL has been open since June. Restrictions were mostly removed in September. Hospital capacity as of this morning is incredibly good. So stop the fear mongering you pathetic losers.
He must be a Republican. No normal person would do what he has done.
Give me liberty or give me death!
And where is DeSantis who has been MIA since the trump rallies
Oh look! CNN trying to make one place look bad while others are doing far worse. Lock CNN down. 🤡
Please...please keep reporting about DeSantis and his failures to protect Floridians. Mask wearing is very low in our state and large crowds are the norm. It’s awful.
I guess he didn't hide those numbers too good.
florida sky______
Playing Politics with people's life.
Yes and unless your over 75 and/or in bad health we are all fine and enjoying living life and being cautious while out in public. You can stay open and follow safe guidelines.
Add in the PACKED bars of entitlement that saturates Fort Lauderdale 🥱COVIDIOTS🦠
Comparison with Cuomo/New York please?
He doesn’t give a damn
RonDeSantisFL is a donnie puppet, get rid of him, next election, vote Mickey mouse
Way to go Gov!
Shut florida down
I hope President JoeBiden will prosecute RonDeSantisFL for his crimes against humanity and make sure he rots in jail along with trump and every single one of his gop enablers. GOPComplicitTraitors Cowards CallHisBluff KamalaHarris
So?
GovRonDeSantisIsAMaskhole
And how many in NY, CA, WA?
Lockdowns are designed to keep open hospital beds for those who need them.
Ron DeSantis should look at himself in the mirror and ask himself “how many people will die because of my actions?” floridanews__ DNC GOP CuomoPrimeTime AC360
...while cases have declined everywhere else, you mean?
What are the hospitalization and death numbers?
Funny, death rates seem to majority democratic states. Why?
You spelled it wrong, it’s “Ron DeathSantis”. Do better!
