Florida Leads U.S. in Covid-19 Cases as Hospitalizations Surge

Given that Florida is pretty densely population and is still under 50 percent fully vaccinated, it is crazy how DeSantis has been actively encouraging folks to distrust the CDC and has outlawed efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID. I mean even Alabama's Governor has started to be more outspoken about the need for people to get vaccinated.

MIAMI—Florida is recording more Covid-19 cases than any other U.S. state, as hospitalizations in some areas increase at the fastest rate since the start of the pandemic. 

The state accounts for one in five new infections in the U.S. and logged 67,413 cases over the past week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Florida had 314 cases per 100,000 people over the past week, second only to Louisiana. The weekly total of new cases reported by Florida jumped more than fourfold between July 1 and July 22, reaching its highest point since mid-January. 

Epidemiologists say various factors are at play: large numbers of unvaccinated people, a relaxation of preventive measures like mask-wearing and social distancing, the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus and the congregation of people indoors during hot summer months. 

“All of those things together are a recipe for the data that we’re seeing,” said Jason Salemi, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida. “It’s a cause for concern...the speed with which the indicators are going up.”

DeSantis is a fukkin punk.

No masks, no vaxx, he's kind of a Trump wannabe. Fuck him and his fukkin state of deplorables. 

Just spoke to a buddy of mine from Fort Myers. No mask, no vaxx, no nothing. Not afraid of Covid at all. 

Oh well, everybody has got to navigate their life as they see fit.

This country is fukked-up badly. 

Me personally, I think we are gonna' deal with this covid, possibly for years. 

A buddy stopped by today, 73 years old. Sick of how black America is being pushed on us so much lately. 

Harris only a heart-beat away from the presidency, and covid surging ...AGAIN!

All I can say is buy SPAM, and RICE. 

Stack some firewood, and water. 

Hope I'm wrong.

Happened last year too!  People are inside more in Florida due to the heat.  In the winter Midwest numbers will go up because we are inside more due to the cold.

Yup, gonna see the same thing up north this fall.  Everyone needs to do what works in their situation (vaccine, mask, avoid crowds, nothing, etc.) and just ride this out.  Covid isn't going away any time soon.
