People wearing protective face masks ride a scooter down Ocean Drive during the coronavirus pandemic, July 12, 2020, in Miami Beach, Fla.
Instead, many states pushed to reopen their economies early. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis's stay-at-home order expired May 4 and by early June, the state was reopening bars and entertainment ventures, despite rising cases. Being on the same page,"takes the burden off a particular person or city to be the ‘bad person," he added.
They are looking at their testing/ reporting. Some tests are getting counted 2or3 times, CDC acknowledged on their website that some individuals are tested more than once but each positive is counted as new! That changed in Minn. on 6/5, very frustrating!
They will fare just fine...when New York had 10,000 cases in a given day-they had 1000 deaths. Florida had 142 deaths today - if you look back 10-14 days ago they had around 10,000 new cases...big difference! Shameful reporting - I believe that is called “fake news”!!!
DrewMarianiShow If only the data was accurate!
why not do a 7 day rolling average.. number wouldnt be all scary like the media wants it to be
TrumpIsKillingAmericans
How many have recovered though? Have you reported that? 🤦♂️
Oh but by all means open the schools! Who are you going to trust the low IQ self serving science deniers or Dr Fauci, the CDC and the epidemiologists? MAGAts need not answer as you fall into the first geoup
And all of a sudden this is fake news due to the reporting in dozens of labs. There's a bigger story here . How about you guys go to work and get it?
like the ship in california, maybe best to let it burn itself out.
Flah-Rih-Duh is an unchecked tire fire and the blame can be dumped on the narrow shoulders of tRump and desantis.
FU Florida. 🤷♀️
Alarming
But NO WHERE NEAR NEW YORKS 700+ DYING A DAY record. Florida had a whopping 35 deaths yesterday. WOW shocking, shattering. You bet.
Per the other story, at least two places questions have admitted the had 10% of the cases that were reported. The others just haven’t responded.
Yo, ABC.
Increased testing using faulty test kits, while actual deaths are declining
How many deaths? Why don’t those stats ever get included?
But yet NYC still has more deaths!!!!!!
4,277 dead is a steep price to pay for this kind of arrogance & ego. This doesn't even account for the amount in ICU. But yeah, who wants a mask? Better to play Russian Roulette & cross my fingers I don't end up on a ventilator.
I wonder how many 'cases' New York would have shown in 142K tests reported in one day back in March?\\ This type of comparison is silly and only seeks to divide and inform the uncurious.
This is very misleading considering testing wasn’t widely available during their peaks.
Florida tested over 130,000. when NY had 12,000 cases they had only tested less than 30,000. so basically if NY had tested as many as FL has, they would have had over 50,000 test positive in a day don't fall for this bs
Are you still going to brag about how well FL is doing, Governor DeSantis?
Cases, cases, cases
But I thought it was all Cuomo's fault
No mention of the record testing done that day, or that positivity rate dropped to the lowest in 2 weeks? It's almost as though you have an agenda.
It is no wonder you are considered fake news
Now do deaths
And those numbers are false
15k followed by 12 k. 82 k new cases in 6 days.
Keep up your protesting BLM you're doing a great job Spreading this Virus 👏.
Mortality rate has decreased as a result. Beach, please.
rolandsmartin The ten states with the largest black population Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York, North Carolina, California, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, Louisiana. Combined, these 10 states represent 58% of the total black population. Don't sleep woke BLMNational
Foolishness
Who cares? Deaths and hospitalizations are not way up. Eventually everyone will get it.
🤣 and yet... the number of deaths has not spiked....could that be because covid-19 is just not as deadly as we were originally told? Florida covid death rate right now is 0.1% Thats the same as seasonal flu
And there opening Disney your parent company , please explain why they would open if COVID is out of control in Florida as you are reporting. ABC put a headline out about that “Disney Opening In Covid19 invested Florida “. Try that one. 🤣
99.9% survival rate, soooo
I feel really sorry for the people in Florida.The governor is a disaster and the people are paying for his incompetence.
It will clear up if Joe is elected
All these NYers came into the state ...
Hot as hell down in Florida and bunch of morons wearing face shields like the air is contaminated never before. You all listened to the lies of the government its all BS. Media made this more than what it is. Its a HOAX!!! THE GOVERNMENT ENJOYS THE ANXIETY OF THE PEOPLE.
ABC, remember the photo of the beach where almost all the people in it were black and your post was about beachgoers spreading COVID-19? I posted the results of a search about spring break beachgoers and was hard-pressed to find 20 black people. Same person choose this one?
ABC, remember the beach photo where nearly 80% of the people in the photo were black. Well, here you go again. Did the same person choose this one?
Come on I just want to finish my last semester
How are they handling the mountains of corpses?
Yet NBA decides to continue the finals their
Thank God we can still go to Disney World where the virus has magically disappeared!
And Belgium leads the world in death rate with that wonderful social healthcare. Hey! Over 70? You used up your healthcare priority...so those running social healthcare love this virus! It is cutting their future costs tremendously. 👎
This makes me hella sad. Shit man 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Well they will probably be the first to achieve herd immunity and will thwart that 2nd wave everyone is talking about....
American politicians Democrats or Republicans that utilise the COVID19 International Public Health crisis as a political weapon, are; IRRESPONSIBLE.
But but but the protests, looting, and rioting
this was bound to happen. floriduh is perennially in the running for the dumbest, most ignorant state in this country. their incompetent governor has blood on his hands too
Floridians can thank their genius GOP Governor, Ron DeSantis. He's been managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida EVERY BIT AS WELL as Donald Trump has been doing it nationally. KUDOS TO STRONG GOP LEADERS!
Lies
This is the reason why the msm goes after Florida and DeSantis. You never EVER are suppose to call them out. EVER!!!
Let's see if they can protect the elderly like NY and MA could not. 65% deaths in long term care. Average age of death: 82
Kirtley2323 This is so sad. None of this had to be this way. So many people walking around right now, are already dead.
The epicenter with a death total three times less than that of New York CITY .
Is this going to be known as the Florida Flu now
rolandsmartin You don’t need the governor to tell you to wear a mask and social distance. People need to take personal responsibility for their own health and safety and that of their children. We know that those in charge are incompetent and don’t give a damn about us.
Arizona: Gets named the world epicenter of COVID-19 Florida Man:
rolandsmartin Arizona right now
The governer should close non essential business. He is not worried about people will die and more will get infected. There should be a new law that people in charge to take care of americans should be held responsible and be taken to court.
rolandsmartin Why is the cover photo two of us? Florida, as well as the rest of the country, has more of them than us.
Congrats Florida!! Have all the bragging rights.
rolandsmartin FL has a real winner in Gov R. DeSantis. GA Gov B. Kemp is 2nd in line. A. Cuomo is not perfect but at least was willing to take the blame/abuse from those who have their 'rights', lead and comfort people vs reopening way too soon.
But let’s open Disney World.
Way to go FL 🤯
All good here. No restrictions. No corona virus. No Trump. Wonder if theres a connection
Gloria Estefan your State needs you! On second thought ,No! Stay where you are! Stay home!! lol!
and yet...they allow theme parks to reopen? unbelievable
I suspect a lot of lawsuits coming to Florida school districts forced to reopen without safety measures in place
RonDeSantisFL said FL was winning! Is this what 'winning' looks like?
rolandsmartin
Because...Florida.
False positives, fake science, MSM fearmongering... all designed to deceive Americans in the ramp up to the election. Vote Trump! He’s the only hope Canada has!
Is anyone surprised?
Their death rate is lower than NY and California and are known as the retirement home of America.
We are doing big things here in America-realDonaldTrump (fool of the century) murderer
Uh -Huh
Sad. Lack of following simple instructions.
DeSantisResignNow
Yet have 18% of the deaths as just NYC in a state with over 20m
Oh My! everyday their rising up, what the heck the governor doing .. and Disneyland is open, irresponsible leader
CONGRATULATIONS GovRonDeSantis Your a WINNER. Trump couldn't have picked a better place to become a resident!!

I thought that the second wave bullshit wasn't supposed to start until Sept1
Now on Democrat News...more things that don't matter....tune in later to hear about a man from a horse.
DenverChannel All of April had 5.2 million tests, 871k positives for a 16.68% positivity rate and 53k+ deaths. Month to date from July 13...17.9 million tests with 1.3 million positives for a 7.17% positivity rate and 17k deaths. Interpret please and tell me about how it's not political
Enablers still cherry pick data, divide the country, compare equally to pneumonia and influenza, and focus solely on deaths in a very short time frame.
Aww fact check NY still has the most deaths. Nice headline . Rather have more cases and less deaths . Nice click bait headline !!!
Truth:
MarthaSugalski States with the most COVID-19 deaths per capita: 1. New Jersey 2. New York 3. Connecticut 4. Massachusetts 5. Rhode Island 6. D.C. 7. Louisiana 8. Michigan 9. Illinois 10. Maryland 11. Pennsylvania 12. Delaware 13. Mississippi 14. Indiana 15. Arizona
But Disney world open right? 🤭😷🙄
DenverChannel Cases don't matter. Say it with me
We Floridians will thank Trump and his equally-obtuse lackey Desantis at the poles... if we live.
Watch this:
Incredible.
Does anyone have the complete data?
If you want to help Florida go BLUE and put JoeBiden in the White House, join us at and you can write cards from home. These are going to Broward County registered Dems, encouraging them to MailTheVoteFL
MORTALITY charts please....
This graph is frightening
Really I know 3 women who filled out paperwork for a test, waited for over an hour, very frustrated and left. After a few a days all three got documentation for a positive COVID test. And none of them took the test. Now tell me this is not political... Please!
Our sorry excuse for a governor is the reason for the spread. He’s more concerned with hospital beds rather than slowing the spread. He thinks you stop the virus by being reactive rather than proactive. He should be held criminally responsible for every death. DeSantisResignNow
Wish we could believe such is an apple-to-apple comparison. They are accounting for cases differently now and you can’t make such a comparison. It seems like they should at least try to show things consistently. But, this is politics and government - no way accurate or truthful.
Great job Governor DeSantis! You and the rest of the GOP, including Mr. Trump, are doing an OUTSTANDING job battling this pandemic! WOO-HOO!
Shattered...infection, infection, infection, infection ..I’m shattered...sha-doobie-doobie...I’m shattered.
Curious how many tests were performed as well?
No politics here 🙄
Florida...good at nothing
TrumpVirus TrumpGenocide GOPGenocide GOPVirus
But bring your family to Disney World and have a great time!
How are the deaths? Are healthy people of all ages in significant numbers dying? If not, we are talking of something no more significant than seasonal flu or pneumonia. Get a grip.
There’s absolutely no leadership or caring for its citizens in Florida. DeSatin is letting us get sick and die. Ppl are selfish. Most Don’t wear a mask!!! No ICU beds. No guides. DeSantisResignNow TrumpKillsUs
Right now it’s safer to go to Afganistán than Florida. See the numbers
