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.

Sounds like a fear pornado in Florida. That, and lots of illegal aliens are heading to Florida, meaning that they could be there spreading Delta all over the state.

I’m still moving there anyway.

Coronavirus PING!

I call total BS on this. They lied about past hospitalizations and I suspect they are lying now. For months, Florida has been open without problems but now with the dems wanting to shut everything down again Florida suddenly has a problem. BS.

I have read that it’s just the opposite: that ADE isn’t happening with this vaccine. The makers, aware of the horrible record with previous respiratory vaccinations, made it an mRNA vaccine just to avoid ADE.

So if ADE is starting to happen with this vaccine, but the authorities — as usual? — are suppressing these incidents, then it’s time to finally break out the plaquenil and horse paste to help treat these cases.*

*The people who conspired to suppress these inexpensive treatments undoubtedly have the blood of tens of thousands on their hands, and they should be hanged from the neck until dead. JMO.

In Florida, summer is the indoor season.

Locals use this time to hang out in bars and restaurants that are too crowded during the ‘’snowbird’’ season.

DeSantis says migrants heading straight from Texas to Florida

The story tried to link this rise in cases to DeSantis’s hostility to mask requirements, particularly in the public schools, and to the fact that people have largely returned to pre-pandemic activities. But the schools haven’t even opened yet, and most states that aren’t seeing this surge in cases have also dropped universal mask mandates and have returned to normal activities.

I don’t think ADE means what you think it means. People would be rapidly and horrifically succumbing to this thing with ADE. This virus is no cake-walk, and I think ADE would show.

What seems far more in line with the numbers is that this “vaccine” is a bunch of worthless crap. Effects are tracking vaccination levels in many reports as if the vaccine weren’t even there.

It is a shoddy, leaky “vaccine” that is not designed to arrest this outbreak in the slightest. If “Delta” has already beaten “Warp Speed” then COVID has Fauci on the mat, crying for his mama.

It’s far more believable to me that this is actually the plan. And no ADE is even necessary.

They’ve been beating this for days. In those days, I am hoping that DeSantis is collecting his own numbers to put some perspective on it. They should know by now he’s wise to what they’re up to. Like Trump, he answers back.

Looking forward to it.

"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."

Maybe true, but Florida is in the middle of the pack regarding vaccination rates (23rd out of 50), and is only slightly behind numerous other states. So why is this only happening in Florida?

Among non vaccinated people, variants that spread more easily among non vaccinated people become more common.

It isn't. COVID cases are through the roof in Missouri.

Exactly.

I don’t believe a thing the government, the MSM, or big phama tells us any more.

We’ve been lied to far too often for farm too long to have any modicum of trust left in any of those organizations.

No - the problem with all the coronaviruses has been ADE. These current mRNA vaxes have not been tested to see if they avoid ADE - if anything, it’s more or less expected.

Two interviews with Dr. Malone you should listen to:

Episode 1,137 – Deep Dive into COVID
https://rumble.com/vkkriq-episode-1137-deep-dive-into-covid.html

ALSO:
Ep 923 | Can Mass Vaccination During a Pandemic Actually Backfire? | Guest: Dr. Robert Malo
https://www.theblaze.com/podcasts/daniel-horowitz-podcast

His comments (at 51:30) on a 3rd shot are “interesting”, but the whole interview is good - Daniel talking first (good thoughts), Dr. Malone about 20-25 minutes in.

There are economic incentives to create coronavirus vaccines for animals. People tried doing it for decades. They could not.

"It isn't. COVID cases are through the roof in Missouri."

But not nearly as much as in Florida. And most states with similar or even lower vaccination rates than Florida aren't seeing this at all, or much, much lower.
