Inexplicably

They are rather thick, aren't they. Reminds me of their head-scratching over when crime was down but more people were in prison.

Masking does not work and is irrelevant.

Gene therapy has no affect on getting infected, sick, and transmission, so mandates are irrelevant.

Natural immunity is robust and effective.

Its called herd immunity. Everyone in Florida by now has been vaccinated or had the disease. Delta was brutal in Florida.

Oh, and his liberal application of monoclonals stopped the disease in its tracts.

Which supports my theory that lockdowns and quarentines are bad policy. Let the disease burn itself out quickly before it has time to mutate.

It’s almost like every part of the country including the super restrictive states like Massachusetts, New York, California, Oregon, etc. So it increases over the summer which lasted several weeks and decreased at the same time as the states like Florida with no restrictions. The restrictions, masks, mandates, etc. didn’t Make a difference.

The virus will do with the virus wants to do, especially since the vaccinated can still spread it and no one wears masks properly that is assuming they actually worked to begin with.

It’s called herd immunity… something that’s been the key to getting rid of Covid

Because the PCR tests are giving false positive for common cold viruses which are also coronaviruses and The state of Florida isn’t manipulating it’s numbers up to frighten people into surrendering to unconstitutional lockdowns in clot-shot mandates.

Has Herd Immunity been achieved?

The CDC map shows less transmission down in FL than in other parts of the country.

Based on information compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics and reported by the CDC, there were 10,266 deaths *involving COVID in the state of Florida in August 2021. There were a further 8,080 such deaths in Florida in September 2021. That death figure for August 2021 was the worst recorded in Florida since the pandemic began. The figure for September 2021 is the second worst.

Further, the 10,266 death figure for August 2021 was 114% higher than the total number of deaths involving COVID recorded in Florida the year previously (i.e., in August 2020). The 8,080 COVID deaths in September 2021 was 299% higher than the total recorded in September 2020 (i.e., 2,023).

As of today, Florida has recorded some 1,466 deaths involving COVID for the month of October 2021. This figure already exceeds the total number recorded in all of October 2020 (i.e., 1,410). Further, the number of "all cause" deaths that have been reported to date for Florida for the current month (i.e., 9,776) is only about 58% of the "expected deaths" for October (reflecting the inevitable and expected lag in information being reported by Florida health entities to the NCHS). Accordingly, it is reasonable to assume that, when all the data are in, the total number of deaths involving COVID for October 2021 will exceed -- and likely by a great bit, given the trend -- the current 1,466.

Notably, the number of deaths involving COVID in Florida this past July (i.e., 1,974) was some 60% lower than the total recorded a year earlier (i.e., in July 2020). A drastic change occurred starting this past August. It is a trend that was seen nationwide.

______________

*The CDC defines "deaths involving COVID" in these terms: "Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19, coded to ICD–10 code U07.1."

VERY simple. In FL, ONLY CCP-Coronavirus cases and deaths are COUNTED AS CCP-Coronavirus cases and deaths!

ALMOST every where else, ALL ILLNESSES AND DEATHS ARE COUNTED AS CCP-Coronavirus cases and deaths!

The government should never again be allowed to pay hospitals when they make a diagnosis that supports the government’s agenda.
