Florida Continues to Report Fewer Cases of Coronavirus than Blue New York
Breitbart ^ | 20 Mar 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Florida continues to report fewer new cases of the Chinese coronavirus than New York State, despite the absence of lockdowns or a statewide mask mandate, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows.

The CDC’s March 19 data shows Florida reporting 143.5 cases per 100,000, or 30,820 cases total, in the last seven days.

As Breitbart News has observed, CDC data routinely separates New York City’s data from the remainder of the Empire State. Even so, both areas, taken separately, exceed Florida in new cases per capita in the last seven days. New York State, excluding the city, reported 212.1 cases per 100,000, or 23,450 cases total, in the last seven days. New York City has reported 238 cases per 100,000, or 19,985 cases, in the same time period. Combined, New York State has reported over 12,600 more cases than Florida in the last seven days alone. Florida has also reported fewer deaths per capita than New York State as a whole throughout the pandemic, per CDC data.

Critics have continued to batter the Florida governor for refusing to embrace long-lasting lockdown measures, despite the data suggesting Florida’s coronavirus policy has not led to greater case spread.

DeSantis Thursday, flanked by experts who praised the tactics his state embraced in response to the virus, also took a hardline stance against the prospect of vaccine passports, vowing they will not be used in the Sunshine State.

Better managed state focused on educating people to use their common sense vs. trying to totally control them, a much more successfully implemented vaccination roll out that is a model for the nation - let alone not making horrendous decisions like ordering COVID patients into nursing homes.

Florida was a blue state in 1996, 2008 and 2012.

I wish we would all can it with the red and blue crap. Yesterday’s red state is today’s blue state and vice versa.

???

For FL???

Hmmmm....that’s a toughy, but...I’ll go with bustling economy, healthy kids, overall much improved mental health of all ages....since they’ve been seeing each other’s faces and communicating in person....at stores, churches, restaurants, etc.

And, as the article states....FEWER CASES OF CHINA FLU than BLUE NY.

What exactly do you mean by....”at what cost?”

I think it depends on the partisan makeup of transplants moving to Florida between now and 2024. Democrats are a little bit behind now so they’ll need to make up 70% (or greater) of the transplants to have a chance in 2024.

Crowding indoors defeats a mask, easily. And watching those parties getting busted an hour in within NYC tells you all you need to know: enforcement is a joke.

Forget RED States and BLUE States.

The issue is FREE States and FEAR States!

Masks do nothing...CDC report...might be a two percent reduction in spread at most.....that is if you can believe the CDC.
