The media keeps harping that the number of corona cases are increasing in Florida.

They ought to spend their time listening to DeSantis.

Below is his press conference yesterday that totally refutes the media's half truths.

https://thefloridachannel.org/videos/6-16-20-press-conference-on-coronavirus-covid-19/

From DeSantis: The increase in new cases is due to more testing.

The Florida DOH is going into the migrant labor camps, jails, and prisons and testing everybody and getting 30% to 70% positive test results.

And most of the folks with positive test results are having zero symptoms.

And most of the folks with positive test results are in the under 50 age group where the probability of death is on the order of 10%.

That's a high number, especially for the under 50 age group. I don't think that can be correct.

“And most of the folks with positive test results are in the under 50 age group where the probability of death is on the order of 10%.”

Under 50 it’s more like 1 in 1,000, far less than 10%.

We’re these people from out of state? And, they never tell us how many have been cured, they just keep adding to the total.

One of the important duties of the MSM is to scare the horses and ginning up fear, in the hopes of keeping everyone unsettled until Nov 6.

Somehow, they think Trump will be blamed for all of the badness they’ve blared across the screens.

This is all theater.

This is all a grand farce.

More lefty propaganda.
More people test positive after opening up
hospitals and clinics for elective work and golly
the patient tests positive .
The admission is for the elective work not the virus .
Just like when people get notified they are diabetic when admitted
for surgery .
happens all the time

panicked over 3000 deaths in a state of 22 million after 6 mos ?
The lefty media is a joke .

Test results is kinda like counting votes.
Depends on who is doing the test, who is recording the test, who is counting the test and who is reporting the results.
Remember the hanging chad is a Florida refrain.
If the health dept has the order to report x% new positives, then lo and behold whoops there it is!

The truth is in hospitalizations numbers, BUT only if the diagnosis is correct and then reported correctly.

Expect unrelenting 24/7 coverage of everyone who sneezes in Florida from now until the RNC convention (while ignoring the only number that really matters, i.e. deaths).

The hospitalizations and deaths are up, along with the raw number of cases.

I think the real numbers to watch are hospital rates increases. If people start filling the hospital up that is when it is time to look closer at the outbreak.

People who check into the hospital with symptoms is what we have to worry about.

I am still surprise by the hot humid weather outbreaks. According to our so call experts we should be going down in new cases.

I believe the larger number of new cases are young people and not people with heath conditions. The older people and ones with heath conditions are staying safe.

How do you create phony stats. They're gonna do the same thing with this contact testing.

How that phony stat works...You find someone that has it "A"....ask them who they were with "B" "C" "D" "E".

So they test those 4 and none test positive.

So do they count 1 or 5? I'm sure they will count 5. Then they have to have the contacts of the other 4.

Limbaugh nailed it. The media is doing it’s best to force a second shutdown to get Trump.

Free testing all over Florida has made it easy...Go to McD’s for A BigMac and stop by the testing site and get your nose swabbed...Easy and the numbers will go way up.

They are reporting positives as cases which misrepresents the number. This is meaningless without the number of hospitalizations, the age ranges, deaths (real deaths not heart attacks or broken necks). The actual mortality rate keeps falling but the one thing this virus does spread is STUPIDITY.

When is someone going to report on the obvious correlation rioting/protesting and increased COVID-19 cases?
