I personally know of 11 people who went to testing centers and signed in but left before testing due to long lines. They were all called and told they tested positive.
Don’t believe any of the media lies.
I don’t know ANYONE who has had Covid in FL.
DeSantis needs to have a presser to INFORM. Don’t minimize. Don’t get defensive.
FACTS and figures only. More Infections than NY. Fine. FLA mortality is 10-15% of New York.
Folks with a survival rate of 99+% are the overwhelming majority of the positive tests.
REPEAT
REPEAT

Call at FAKE News for creating unnecessary panic.
Because Orange Man Bad. Come on, it isn't exactly a difficult question to answer.
Official CDC Policy - presumed (untested) COVID deaths are counted as confirmed COVID deaths.
Nothing like that applies to influenza or common cold deaths.
Official CDC Policy - 100% of pneumonia + COVID deaths are counted as COVID deaths.
Less than 10% of pneumonia + influenza deaths are counted as flu deaths.
Solution...
Trump must publicly instruct Dr. Fauci to immediately recalculate the number of influenza and common cold deaths with the same method now being used to count COVID deaths.
Americans will be stunned to find out how many people really died from flu and colds on Dr. Fauci’s 36 year watch.
Main stream media=Enemy Of The People.
Testing positive for coronavirus would not faze me one bit. Testing positive for HIV, now that would scare me. Even herpes would scare me. Hepatitis C would scare me. Ebola would scare me. Coronavirus does not scare me.
Mortality is the main concern I have for any illness. Not to say that I want some lingering aftereffects, but that having my lifespan truncated would be the most serious factor. The current coronavirus does not make me fear that my life will be shortened by it. I am even in multiple risk groups for complications. Somewhat overweight, asthmatic with sleep apnea, mid early 60’s. I am totally not scared.
The economic consequences of having given so much control over our society to progressives, that scares me. I am lucky enough that I have been spared the inconvenience of not having enough money to pay the rent and other bills, and I haven’t had to miss any meals, except having to cook them myself. Other people are not so lucky. Progressives seem to love locking down our economy to avoid the inconvenience of a cold or flu. The ones who make such decisions for everyone else don’t get to go out as much, but they still can afford to order in.
I will repeat what my daughter told us last week. She works as a nurse at a large hospital in Clearwater FL. They currently have no COVID cases in the ICU. They do have some cases in regular beds, mostly men ages 45-65. They are not overwhelmed, and they have all the supplies they need.
Too bad COVID 19 can’t sue like Nick Sandman. Could the office of the governor sue the media for misreporting?
