Sunstar Paramedics admit a patient to the emergency room at the Morton Plant Hospital amid a coronavirus disease outbreak, in Clearwater, Fla., on Aug. 3, 2021.
A record number of people have been hospitalized in Florida amid a surge in Covid infections largely being driven by the unvaccinated, public health officials have said. On Tuesday, 14,787 people were hospitalized for Covid, 145 percent more than during the state’s previous peak in July 2020, according to the Florida Hospital Association. Nearly 90 percent of the state’s ICU beds were in use and 85 percent of all in patients beds were filled, the group said."There is this rapid accelerated rise that is unprecedented," University of Florida Health Shands CEO Ed Jimenez said on MSNBC. At his hospital, 90 percent of the patients are unvaccinated, he said.
DeSantis has been in a sparring match with the Biden administration in recent days over his implementation of a ban on mask requirements. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that his administration is looking into whether there is any federal action that could be taken to allow Florida schools to require masks.
Last week, DeSantis alleged Biden’s immigration policies had led to the wave of Covid infections, not low vaccination rates.
The question is are more people from Florida getting vaccinated?
Time to start testing 💉 the vaccinated,I believe some are being infected by asymptomatic vaccinated individuals.
Yes and people that need life saving surgery cannot get them because the ICU is completely full.
They have the worst governor ever.

Everyone in Florida should start calling the virus the DESANTIS VARIANT. It’s 100 PERCENT his fault it got this bad in Florida.
Didn't Scott just say the feds should keep out of their lives?
Wonder what Trump’s reaction would have been if one of his leading opponents had requested ventilators? Oh … RIGHT.
This is just ridiculous! GovRonDeSantis you should quit. Your incompetence is unbearable!
Ron has made a series of bad decisions that has already cost lives in order to make an ignorant old man happy. Thousands more lives, including children, will continue to be wasted unnecessarily.
