Florida breaks record for COVID-19 hospitalizations

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A day after it recorded the most new daily cases since the start of the pandemic, Florida on Sunday broke a previous record for current hospitalizations, as the number of patients in hospitals because of COVID-19 once again broke through the 1,000-person threshold.

The Sunshine State had 10,207 people hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to data reported to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

The previous record was from more than a year ago, July 23, 2020, more than a half-year before vaccinations started becoming widespread, when Florida had 10,170 hospitalizations, according to the Florida Hospital Association.

Florida is now leading the nation in per capita hospitalizations for COVID-19, as hospitals around the state report having to put emergency room visitors in beds in hallways and others document a noticeable drop in the age of patients.

In the past week, Florida has averaged 1,525 adult hospitalizations a day, and 35 daily pediatric hospitalizations. Both are the highest per capita rate in the nation, according to Jason Salemi, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of South Florida.

Good point.

Note to self: Avoid restaurants with Spanish menus.

So something else must be behind this unique and extremely high rate of new infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.

You might check posts #4 and #5 for a clue.

I heard it and you’re right. Dr Navarro was very much in agreement with Dr Malone and both we emphatic that the vaccine program needs to be halted immediately.

Don’t accept unaudited, politicized COVID hospitalization data. Florida has a huge population of older, high risk people. Hospitals can make money by admitting positive tested patients with mild symptoms that would have gotten them sent home before COVID bucks became available. Despite this, there’s no proof that people in Florida are being denied treatment.

“Don’t trust a word not to be dstormed and manipulated.

Full court press by ministry of truth against DeSantis has begun.”

My feeling as well.

You can just smell their joy in that headline.

If it’s mostly vaxed or equal to unvaxed, likely ADE. The data is starting to point to that happening - virologist/epidemiologists worst case scenario. BTW, if it IS ADE, evidently that is harder to treat ... something I wasn’t aware of until I heard Dr. Malone on War Room Saturday.

This is going to be disturbing if it turns out to be the case. You have roughly half the population of Florida vaccinated. If the vaccines worked as expected, actually breaking there transmission and replication of the virus, you would expect hospitalizations to drop.

If ADE is occurring, then the vaccinated are not only *not* immunized, their bodies are in effect enhanced generators for the virus. If this is so, the vaccines have added gasoline to the fire. The only saving grace is that the variants, generated thru natural selection pressure by the imperfect vaccines, appear to be more virulent, but less deadly.

Yes, I should have mentioned the possibility of a large number of infected illegals being dumped there, but I have no idea what the numbers are compared to other states.

We’re number One!

I guess it doesn’t matter that the state is being flooded with illegals.

"ADE"

Florida is slightly above average in the number of people vaccinated (23rd of 50 states). Why are we not seeing this ADE effect in states with higher vaccination rates, or similar rates to Florida? It is only happening there.

Death rates by state.

Florida is ranked way down the list at 25.

From a doctor who practices at Holly Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale: 1) the ICU is filling up and 2) 99.9% are unvaccinated patients.
