'Florida has proven how much the Fauciites are filled with 'Emperors who have No Clothes', remarked co-host Clay Travis
As the mainstream media and Democrats seem to have abruptly halted or at least slackened their barrage of criticism toward Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, questions arise as to the reasons behind the sudden silence, co-host Buck Sexton discussed Thursday on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show."
For more than a year, DeSantis and the Sunshine State were a favorite bugaboo of the left and prominent members of the mainstream media whenever the topic of coronavirus mitigation came up.
On "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show," host Buck Sexton noted that essentially in the time since then, little has been said by the pundits about DeSantis or Florida.
"Why is it that you are not hearing about the Florida COVID caseload so much anymore?" he asked. "We were here talking to you about it in July because the media was convinced Ron DeSantis… ‘doesn't care about old people or children dying of COVID’ – [saying] horrible things."
Sexton further remarked that conservatives had latched onto the media's nonstop derision of DeSantis by satirically blaming him for coronavirus spikes in places like Hawaii and the Northeast.
"We knew it was absurd," said Sexton. "[T]hey were scoring cheap political points, when we all know there is a seasonality to the virus."

COVID daily death rate in FL is down to the single digits when I last checked.
It’s been that way for a month with the death rate. Really remarkable. If the stats are true, I think it was the promotion of the monoclonal antibody treatment that made the difference.
Are the excellent results in Florida the reason DeSantis has stopped publishing the state’s statistics?
7 day average deaths in Florida are 311 dead per day. That’s down from 455 dead per day, but not exactly single digits, and not exactly excellent results for the state.
COVID is moving north. So the lockdown politics will only intensify as the pandemic rolls into the states dominated by the Democrats.
Covid has been in decline national for a full month: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases
In FL is dropped like a rock: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#compare-trends_newcases
You’re right. SC, GA, NC, & TN have spikes that mirror FL spike and subsequent drop a week or so after FL.
The TN curve dwarfs the FL curve with 170 cases / 10,000 for TN vs the peak for FL about 122/10,000.
Florida has the largest population percentage of seniors in the country.
Those death rates are always high. Just tag Covid on them for the Federal payments and the hospitals win bigtime
“Just tag Covid on them “
Mind picture...
Corpse on gurney, covered in a white sheet, feet sticking out, toe tag stamped COVID, instead of with their name.

“Florida didn’t implement a mask mandate, didn’t do COVID passports and the cases still went down,” said Travis, after Sexton referenced a 50% decline in COVID cases across the Sunshine State in the past 2 weeks.
“Why is it that you are not hearing about the Florida COVID caseload so much anymore?” he asked. “We were here talking to you about it in July because the media was convinced Ron DeSantis… ‘doesn’t care about old people or children dying of COVID’ – [saying] horrible things.”
Sexton further remarked that conservatives had latched onto the media’s nonstop derision of DeSantis by satirically blaming him for coronavirus spikes in places like Hawaii and the Northeast.
In Hawaii, Democratic Gov. David Ige implemented the Safe Travels Program, which required travelers from the mainland to submit negative results from a coronavirus test from approved vendors a short time before traveling to the Aloha State, in addition to a mask mandate. As of mid-June, Ige announced restrictions will gradually be lifted as vaccination rates increase.
As of May, there had been 55 reported arrests of people violating Safe Travels quarantine provisions, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul recently said the NYS National Guard will replace health care workers who will be fired for violating the state’s vaccine mandate, while Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City began enforcing an order mandating people show their vaccine cards in order to enter restaurants, shops or theaters.
The hosts noted that Australia is one case where the populace has no “test case” like Florida to point to stop the liberal government there from implementing sweeping socioeconomic controls, including on simple freedom of movement, enforced by police and the military.
Florida remains 9th in the USA in deaths per million people.

Thanks for the ping. DeSantis rocks.
Delta hit Florida hard in Mid-July 2021 with 398 deaths in late August but a huge peak was just that. Given our elderly population in deaths per million FL is at 2561 - you're at (TN) 2218.
Go ahead babble on some more. So whose shot are you defending with startling incorrect DEATH stats? Just curious.

Not going to bother with a pic off my phone. These numbers mirror CDC stats.
I’m definitely not saying Tennessee did a GOOD job. Our governor is far, far stupider than DeSantis, and just as wrong about vaccinations.
Simple - Whose jab did you get and a link to your incredibly bad stats hugely inflating FL Death stats.
I’ll wait.
do some research and you’ll see 70% of the invaders that were crossing the border were headed to florida...
and yesterday it was announced that desantis is suing the biden administration for human trafficking...
our federal government’s actions and double standards prove the kung flu is a scam...
DeSantis moved quickly on free monoclonal antibody centers... and earlier on designated nursing home sites for older people with COVID. DeSantis saved a lot of lives... he’s a good man... and great Governor...
