DeSantis told reporters Tuesday he thinks the surging numbers of COVID-19 cases are not because of stores being open but rather “social interactions.”
“We’re not going back, closing things,” DeSantis said. “I don’t think that that’s really what’s driving it. People going to a business is not what’s driving it. I think when you see the younger folks, I think a lot of it is more just social interactions, so that’s natural.”
Florida has totaled more than 152,000 coronavirus cases as of Tuesday, including at least 3,500 deaths.
“We’re open, we know who we need to protect, most of the folks in those younger demographics, although we want them to be mindful of what’s going on, are just simply much, much less at risk than the folks who are in those older age groups,” DeSantis said.
Daily Deaths in FL have not risen despite the spike in new cases for a few weeks already.
What the reason for that is? I don’t know maybe everything combined
Is Trump right that once the summer comes the disease gets weaker?
Is trump right that there is more testing?
Is it because the older and more ill were already social distancing and mainly healthy people get it now?
Is it because hospitals know what their doing now?
Is it because people are getting this hydro thing that we all laugh at?
Is this a cycle where the malcach hameves moves from one city to the next and then leaves after a few weeks?
Whatever the reason is, it seems like a complete lockdown may not be necessary if deaths don’t rise.
(Although it would be nice if decreased too)
Shutting down doesn’t help. People need to learn to be responsible.
Archy – it would only be ‘ nice ‘ if it decreased? Tell that to the dead people.
They have so many people dying every day and they are not stopping it.
That is due to something. Maybe the governor can try something else?
Reckless
Miami Beach curfew effective tonight. Florida largest Hospital stopped taking elective surgery since yesterday, hospitalization and ICU doubled in 5 days. Death increased every single day in the last months since reopening. The fact that the Rate of death did not increased yet , you know it too well. It takes time 1-3 weeks to die from COVID not on day one. Very few people died in Feb in NYC it all happened in march. If your War time President would have been right even 1% he would be on National TV 24/7 instead of MISSING IN ACTION on Covid. Even Sleepy Joe is more visible on this MAGAyfo than FAILED Trump. We are the JOKE of the World and Trump is the main Joker. The only thing is GREAT AGAIN is the Hospitalization from Covid in the USA and the toppling of the Monument of white supremacist.
By the time they finished briefing Trump that the U.K. had nukes, that the Confederate generals were son the losing side and fired at the American flag, and that Finland wasn’t part of Russia, he was all tuckered out. You expect him to now combat Covid without his hydro and magic light that cleans the lungs.
By the way, he said same thing about clean coal Archy. He thought they took the coal out of the ground and cleaned it. So we can clean lungs the same way. Just a couple of spritzes and then a bedika.
Has everyone noticed the increasing silence of the Trump supporters here?…I think its because of two reasons:his actions are increasingly indefensible and its becoming increasingly apparent that he will suffer a landslide defeat in the election
