Ran into this about Florida Covid numbers

[Old Crank]

And those over 65. They have the highest death totals for over 65 in the country.

They now report every two weeks and drop a weeks numbers. Don't count visitors, only citizens of Florida.
Anything to make the numbers look better.

1. Remember, they fixed their numbers (with the firing of the data person)

So, the true number is probably higher than that.

2. Sorry For The Democrats That Have To Live There, But For Me, FL Is Irrelevant

They obviously couldn't care less about the Covid deaths, since they re-elected the person responsible for them.

But hey, at least they didn't have any stupid mask mandates. FREEDOM!!

3. Democratic Party here is in complete shambles.

I'm getting out of this state. I can't do this anymore. Even the Southeast has fallen completely red. It's done.

8. It always has been a disaster.

4. And it has been proven before ...

Many Covid fatalities are listed as respiratory failure or heart failure to
make DuhSantis happy and thus don't get included in the Covid stats.

Florida is Covid hell. Rebekah Jones uncovered it (and paid for it).

7. That's not true. Covid deaths have always been reported.

They limited testing so trends of increases in cases followed by increases in deaths was difficult to see which was exactly the point.

11. Of course they were reported.

But they were reported erroneously.

12. No, they weren't.

That article doesn’t say that at all.

5. They Will Be Quickly Replace

by 65+ yos from other states.

Never felt the urge to retire in FL. Was a nice place to visit but I don't think I could drink or use the water there long term. It always seemed to smell and taste funny to me.

6. Their numbers are underwater.....

Just like the soon to be State.

9. FL has more seniors. The per capita rate is a better arbiter

Even then, FL is up there but other GOP-led states are much worse

America's COVID disease vector.
