If this virus is so contagious then why is the death toll massive among homeless populations, among the old Miami population which is like Italy as far age. It’s nick name is winkle city.

Fact is the country is being destroyed because of NY and their mishandling, unpreparedness, their budget cuts over the past few years of shutting down hospitals thus losing 20K patient beds, not restocking and preparing in advance for epidemics because they wanted to save the money and use it elsewhere.

Michigan is in the same boat- the Governor didn’t know she had to request Emergency Federal funding until it was too late. Now whole state is in lock down due to Detroit and Wayne Counties.

Here is Michigan’s hospital bed stats for COVID:

Your equating North Dakota with Florida?? Two very distinct landscapes. Florida is also very different from south to north and coastal verses interior. ND pretty much uniform.

Desantis early move here was to lock down the nursing homes. Any idea how many of them there are here given the population is kind of aged? Great move and probably saved a ton of lives. He has done the right thing almost on all issues since election, even some that may not be popular with his base. He is fair, not corrupt, and a loyal Trump supporter to boot.

That said, I admire Noem’s stand. It speaks well of her.

It’s because they are shoving down our throats that millions of people are asymtematic and they have it but show no symptoms but yet they can give it to someone.

If that is true, why isn’t USA decimated? The numbers would be higher.

Why are USA totals 1/3 of world’s total consistently?

Why hasn’t the 500K homeless population been effected who are the most folks with weak immune systems, unsanitary people around who sleep and hang out in close quarters?

Have been thinking of changing my residency from RI to Fla for a while. The past 2 months sealed my decision. I’ve been down here in beautiful SW Fla throughout this panDEMic, golfing, going to the beach while my family in RI are cowering in their homes under the dictatorship of Gina Raimando ( Dem governor) I can’t even go home to RI without being met by National Guard then being under strict quarantine for 2 weeks. No thanks, RI. I love Desantis!

Stupid thing is, if a nasty virus from hell gets loose again in the future - a Captain Tripps type - nobody will believe it. It’ll be rough getting billions of people to comply with this kind of crap again. Of course, if the Rats drag this out and it does cost Trump the election (the main goal), they’ll have their turd world new USA. Mission accomplished.

That was exactly my fear. If people come away thinking that this was a big overreaction, what will happen the next time? You only get to do this once.

Purple FL came way too close to electing one of Obama’s Black Lives Matter dirtbags.

Subject:: It’s not about your health!

“When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.”

I’m looking forward to maybe hitting Culver’s for a burger

Culvers never closed. I donate platelets every 2 weeks, and for the last 8, the Culvers right next door to my donation center has cars wrapped around the building waiting for their food. Their burgers are fantastic.

This is what the media does. They sell fear amd chaos. And they do it with lies. The MSM is evil. Pure and simple. But this is not limited to the MSM. It is a personality type that lives to spread fear and chaos. They can be a boss or a cousin or a store clerk or anyone. They are sick individuals who simply promote bad news and worsen it. We have plenty of them on the Free Republic.
