TALLAHASSEE — Florida added 11,466 new cases of coronavirus Friday and another 128 deaths, with the caseload soaring by 21% since the beginning of the week.

The state now has reported 327,241 total cases and 4,805 deaths since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in March.

Congressional Democrats blistered Gov. Ron DeSantis' refusal to enact a statewide mask mandate and his earlier comment that the recent surge in cases represented a "blip," although he acknowledged it was a "higher blip than where we were in May and the beginning of June."

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, said the Republican governor had done "nothing" to ease the skyrocketing case numbers. Officials in Broward and Miami-Dade counties this week said they are considering reshuttering nonessential businesses because of the virus surge

If someone is scared of getting the flu and can afford to stay home then go home and STFU. I’m beyond sick of this hysteria.

If no one ever fights back it will never end.

They started this war brilliantly with lockdowns, isolated us so we couldn’t form large protests or storm the state capitol.

They followed up with mask mandates, orders to all the people in their state to do something, anything as long as its an order and as long as its followed. As long as it shows we must bow to the leaders.

Now we’ve surrendered, they’ll keep beating us down until there’s no whisper of resistance.

the folks in Florida are so fortunate that Democrat Andrew Gillum is not their governor during these times.

Democrats have no long term memories.

Right - and those DemoRat governors roll over and shut down their state destroying businesses, job loss, homes foreclosed, etc and they blame Trump.

That’s what should have been done from the beginning. Keep the old and infirm isolated and don’t send the infected into nursing homes. Everyone else live normally. Would have same deaths as any seasonal flu without destroying our freedom and economy.
It’s absolutely insane what is happening.
