Journalists and other Democrats are thoroughly confused about who spreads misinformation about COVID

Who, again, is spreading misinformation?

The state of Florida and its governor, Ron DeSantis, have been under attack by the media, bureaucrats and Democrat pols since the start of COVID for two reasons: DeSantis has given the public much more freedom than what the power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats want them to have. And, because they consider DeSantis as a potential presidential candidate in 2024. Results certainly don’t matter.

Deaths and hospitalizations have gone up throughout the country, so it is no big deal that they are also going up in Florida.

I thought two things in this article were very interesting. Florida has had a lot of freedom, and few mandates and yet they are only 13th in the country in deaths per million.

Also, the ICU beds are clearly not overwhelmed in Florida by COVID patients, vaccinated or unvaccinated with only 19.81% of ICU beds occupied by people with COVID.

Florida's coronavirus deaths spike to 470 in week; cases up 7.7% to 429,311 First-time positivity rate drops to 29.3%; hospitalizations' 8,914 highest 4 months. In deaths per million, Florida is 2,903 (13th in nation)

Of the 259 hospitals reporting, 19.81% of the available beds are occupied with coronavirus patients. The total beds in use: 49,257 (83.15%). The previous day 256 hospitals reported.

Here are some important facts we don’t seem to see:

New Jersey has the 10th oldest population and 353 deaths per 100,000 population.

New York has the 20th oldest population and 338 deaths per 100,000 populatin.

COVID mandates have become one of the tenants of the satanic religion of marxism. The media are the deciples.

Some additional info:

NYS counts probables, asymptomatics, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.

Anybody and his brother can pronounce someone as dying from CoupFlu without having to ammendment a death certificate.

The stats are crap.

All of them.

But then CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health, has it...

Where are you getting this? From the CDC’s webpage, in the last 7 dats, Florida has had 155 deaths from Covid. California 1103. Michigan 306, New Jersey 653 and New York 548. From the data, Florda seems to be doing it right when it comes to Covid.

Florida was using monoclonal antibodies which seemed to work well. So well that Biden shut it down.
