Just two months ago, Florida was experiencing the worst COVID-19 surge in the United States.

The Sunshine State had the highest seven-day average of cases per day as well as the highest hospitalization rate in the country.

Despite these grim metrics, Governor Ron DeSantis did not issue new lockdowns, closures or stay-at-home orders, arguing that the spike was due to a seasonal pattern of the virus and urging residents to get vaccinated.

Now, with Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner, the Covid crisis looks really different in Florida.

Inexplicably, cases and deaths have been going down despite DeSantis implementing no new mitigation measures.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show Florida is recording one of the best case and death rates in the country.


And Gavin Freakin Newsom the governor of my state is shutting down the In-N-Out burger joints because they won't enforce the vaccine mandates.

It’s an arcane mystery that no-one can solve!
Requires more government coercion and forced jabs!
Or so the vax shills think.

TPTB constantly attack DeSantis because they are terrified he’ll run for prez.

Which brings up the question of why are private entities pressed into being govt agents?Currently businesses collect taxes from customers and forward those to the govt. Now they want business to enforce a vaccine mandate. How far does this go? Seems it high time to tell govt they need to start conducting their own business at their own expense.

Sanity and Sunshine!

That should be the new Florida state motto. Put it on the license plates.

Florida probably has the highest natural immunity rate in the country. Perhaps the Daily Mail should look into that.

In fairness:

the biggest part of this is not the mask or vaccine policies, but simply the climate. Southern US gets covid waves during the summer, when people tend to be indoors (too hot); the North gets the waves during the winter.

So... by December, expect a wave in the North.

And Florida will get another wave in 6-8 months, especially if good doctor Fauci manufactures a new version of Covid by then.

because he refused to mandate anything..

he did what should have been done world wide. Treat with antibodies (and other tested medications the MSM doesn’t talk about) and let it run it’s course.

many have it and don’t know. The test for covid is free.
the test for antibodies is 100-200 bucks.
