The media is going to do a non-stop full-court press on DeSantis, they know he’s the biggest threat now.

I am a Maryland conservative who likes De Santis. When I move down there, I think I can weather the alligators, panthers, giant snakes, large spiders, hurricanes and, of course, #FloridaMan just fine.

Pretty sure that the buyDUNG cabal and fauxcheeze are keeping it under wraps that CV19 will cause a terrible hurricane season. Like Cat 5’s every couple weeks or so. πŸ’‰πŸ˜·πŸŒ€. Get your shot to stop Cat 5 hurricanes.

Yeah, that’s how stewoopid it’s getting.

In response, Big Pharma, the government and liberal news media are working extra hard to suppress information about Ivermectin.

...and meanwhile both Florida and Texas are below the national average death rate, although Cuomo’s genocide of the elderly in NY does push up that average quite a bit (thereby making Florida and Texas look that much better).

When someone tests positive on a PCR test, they are positive regardless of whether they are displaying symptoms at the time.

With this virus, if you wait until symptoms are apparent before calling it a case, you are providing plenty of opportunity for the infected person to spread the virus. An infected person is contagious for days before symptoms appear.

No, it is not contrary to epidemiological use to count a case as positive when they test positive on PCR. In the case of Covid-19, knowing who is positive is important for gauging how effective the infection control measures are, as well as for limiting future infections.

Your forgot hangnails and spider bites. :-)

Why is it, that with all of these "new cases" and "covid deaths" in Florida, I don't know anybody, or of anybody, who has been tested, let alone tested positive or who have died from the covid? No one.

I keep hearing and reading about all of these people testing positive and dying from covid but ironically, I don't know anyone who has. Strange.

My only explanation is that I'm either blind or that the media is lying to us.

Which one is more likely since I have 20/20 vision?

Yeah, stay the phuque away from Florida. It’s got all kinds of problems you out-of-staters don’t want to deal with. /s/

Reminiscent of those times not that long ago when climate change was blamed as the cause of every problem, issue and ill in the world.

The internet was replete with lists containing thousands of problems cause by global warming.

Now all the Left has done is replaced "climate change" with "covid" and the list keeps growing.

These people are so transparent. They must think everyone else is so stupid but then again, that's what they're counting on.

“when they test positive on PCR. In the case of Covid-19, knowing who is positive is important for gauging how effective the infection control measures are, as well as for limiting future infections.”

The FALSE POSITIVE rate for the PCR test is over 80%. There is nothing morentom say about this. And you have it exactly backwards as far as what constitutes a “case”because a (positive) test is in fact not a case if

1-there are no symptoms (asymptomatic)

2-if no treatment is required.

3- if the “positive” is a false positive as over 80% are.

Exactly.

And, didn’t the inventor of this absurd PCR test even emphatically state that this test should NOT even be used, to test for China virus??

Unreal what the DS/Pharma shills are getting away with.
