Florida shows 947.9% increase in COVID-19 cases since governor reopened state

8/28/20
In the roughly three months since Gov. Ron DeSantis greenlighted Phase Two of his plan to reopen Florida, the Sunshine State has seen a whopping 947.9 percent increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. As of Friday morning, 615,806 cases had been identified across the state. On June 3 when the governor made the announcement that bars and pubs could reopen at 50 percent capacity inside and full capacity outside, the state was reporting 58,764 COVID-19 cases – a difference of 557,042. Under Phase Two, bowling alleys, movie theaters, arcades and auditoriums also were allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity. But a portion of that plan was short-lived, as DeSantis reversed his decision on bars and ordered them closed again on June 26 when the state was reporting 122,960 cases.The number of deaths and people hospitalized also are quite different today than when DeSantis decided to reopen the state.

On June 3, the state was reporting 2,566 deaths and 10,525 people hospitalized. On Friday, those numbers had jumped to 11,099 deaths and 38,029 people being treated in area hospitals. In the tri-county area on June 3, there were 39 deaths and 158 people hospitalized. Those numbers have now increased to 320 deaths and 1,331 people requiring some form of hospital care.

The article goes on to post a breakdown of cases across the state, the breakdown of hospitalizations across the state, the breakdown of deaths across the state, the breakdown by day of COVID-19 cases across the state beginning the day after DeSantis’ Phase Two announcement. Some of the day-today numbers are eye-popping :shock:

And presumably kids will be going back to school soon. Is that right?
Could get bad. I read recently that in Miami kids who were asymptomatic but tested positive showed lasting lung damage.

Health officials worry about long-term effects of COVID-19 on kids

"A warning from Doctor Alina Alonso, the director of the Department of Health Palm Beach County: Just because you don’t see any COVID-19 symptoms in a child doesn’t mean damage hasn’t been done.

“And while many of these especially younger children are asymptomatic when you take x-rays of their lungs, down in Miami and other places across the country, they’re seeing that there is damage to the lungs in these asymptomatic children.”

so you want us to believe you care about the infection increases? NO, you want the negative economic numbers to use for political points against Trump. By all means keep ignoring that reopening the state gives our immune system the opportunity to work and in case you missed it, Florida's death to infection rate(1.8%) is well below the U.S. Average(3.1%) showing that recoveries are growing substantially and immune systems are working. You keep spouting DNC talking points ignoring the following

8/30/2020 Cases Deaths

United States 6,057,520 185537 3.1%

California 693839 12834 1.8%

Florida 621596 11249 1.8%

Texas 606530 12420 2.0%

New York 434100 25319 5.8%

Is DeSantis prepping for a presidential run? Sounds like the perfect R candidate.
 
How much more are so many Democrats going to rant about Republican run states having lower death rates than New York - demanding everyone copy Cuomo because not enough people are dying in Republican run states?

We get it. Many Democrats, the DNC and most of the MSM DEMAND MORE AMERICANS DEATHS to match NYC. Demanding citizen's deaths for fairness is a new low for the new fascist Democratic Party.

So when are you going to actually debate the issues and stop using nothing but liberal talking points. Care to explain where the difference is between the 6.1 million cases, the 3.2 million recoveries, the 186,000 deaths or 2.6 million?? You think this issue is resonating with the American electorate who are sick and tired of the politics of personal destruction?

6,081,372 +72,784
Active cases 2,693,045
Recovered cases 3,202,457 +38,081
Fatal cases 185,870 +1,517

Don't seem to hear a lot of comment from the left on the fact that NY, NJ, and California constitute over 1/3 of the deaths from the virus? guess liberal states get a pass as you focus on only the Red States

Since you want to focus on infections where does California with over 693k infections fit into your narrative?

Not only that the radical left needs the poor negative economic numbers to blame on Trump as they claim they are concerned about the growing number of infections

That's why Nancy Pelosi refused to allow even $1 to try to contain covid-19 for over a week at the very start. She wanted to do everything possible to insure covid-19 spread as much as possible across the USA. That is why Joe Biden opposed blocking people infected with covid-19 from coming to the USA from China.

The Democratic Party, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and the rest made their primary campaign tactic to kill and financially ruin as many Americans as possible. Even the pre-war Nazi SS didn't set out to kill and ruin as many Germans as the Democratic Party set out to kill and ruin Americans.
 
Florida's daily new case numbers weren't much different the NY's are right now as it starts to open up. Yet they still managed to have barely 1/3rd of the deaths.

That is exactly what the left wants to ignore, deaths as a percentage of infections. They want people to believe that increasing infections are disastrous when the reality is our immune systems are working thus the recoveries and unreported recoveries have wiped out most of the 6.1 million cases
 
close the schools.

The White House budget request was paltry.

White House submits $1.25 billion emergency request as part of $2.5 billion coronavirus effort

Pelosi gave substantially more than was requested.

House Passes $8.3 Billion Emergency Coronavirus Response Bill

Meanwhile the airlines, not Trump, led the way on travel restrictions.

US airlines suspend flights to mainland China as coronavirus spreads

Trump was busy overruling the CDC to bring the infected back.

State Department reportedly overruled CDC to fly coronavirus-infected Americans home.

And in the months that followed his "ban" turned out to not be so much of a ban after all.

430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced

Not so bright to rely entirely on Swiss cheese travel restrictions of one nation during a pandemic instead of beginning any preparations to deal with community spread of the virus in the United States, it turned out. Months wasting twiddling his thumbs and congratulating himself on his partial restrictions.

Paltry? what was in that additional request from Pelosi?? Such passionate hatred for Trump all promoting your failed partisan ideology. Seems your state has its own share of problems that you want to ignore, only 2,000 fewer deaths than a state more than 3 times your population. seems that all you do is divert from your own problems as nothing apparently will ever change your ideology and support for liberalism

Cases Deaths percentage to infections

Florida 621596 11249 1.8%

Massachusetts 128030 9036 7.1%

No, it's just your continued bizarre focus on the past without the present context. Where are the bulk of the deaths coming from now? Here let me help!

The majority of the deaths still add up to 3.1% of those infected and let me remind you of reality that you want to ignore

Who can really shut down the country? A Q&A

Does the president have the authority to override state and local orders?
A. No. Under our constitutional system, states have the power and responsibility for maintaining public order and safety.

You cannot re-write history and that is what you are trying to do. your governor failed your state leading to the deaths of thousands of your citizens but that is still minor compared to the reality that those people who died didn't adhere to even CDC guidelines and are responsible for their own death

Notice that like most liberals you are still trying to earn political points, the death percentages continue to be well below the world average and countries with Universal Healthcare and as usual you focus solely on infections and not recoveries or the unreported recoveries. please explain why you have such passion over this issue that you cannot celebrate the massive recovery numbers and low death to infection rates. Immune systems work!!

Then ultimately, for you, all blame is placed on the individual for getting covid. You can't blame China, you can't blame Guv's, we can't blame the inactions of Orangey......we get to, nay must, blame ourselves.

Well, thats it then, you are done....thanks for playing.

I never blame someone else for failure to take care of myself, that seems to be your problem not mine

Again, if the blame for contracting covid ENTIRELY rests upon the individual, then your blaming China for "spreading the disease" is done. Your placing the responsibility of the spread, the blame, on Cuomo in NY, is done....they can't be held responsible SINCE your bottom line is that each individual is personally responsible for covid entering their body.

China spread the disease by sending infected people into this country and there was no way of knowing that, we now know however if you wear a mask, practice social distancing and quarantine yourself you aren't going to get the virus regardless of what someone else does. Your liberal scare tactics are designed to earn political points against a President who has done nothing personally that has harmed you or your family. You are indoctrinated into the liberal ideology for your own reasons and the reality that you have no credibility is on full display

Not only is this a complete bs fantasy, it doesn't matter to your argument, since your argument COMPLETELY PLACES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GETTING COVID ON THE INDIVIDUAL.....PERIOD, END OF ARGUMENT.

Not only is this an insane absolutist argument in and of itself, it still is promoting the first insane argument, the person responsible for getting ANY contagious airborne virus...is the individual.

How about how many more Republicans are going to keep bringing up the fact that the Dem. states of the NE had such high number of cases because they got conflicting info from Trump, ( DC ) and the CDC when this all started and did NOT have any idea what to do back then and with the lack of LEADERSHIP out of DC had to figure it out by themselves
and NOW that they have figured out what to do and have set an example for the Republican run states of the south, the people on here are asking the question why are these states having such high number of cases and deaths THESE states HAVE no excuse they HAVE an example of what to do and what not to do.
I do NOT believe it is the case like you say but a case of asking why there are so many cases in states like FLA. when they have been shown what to do and what not to do, and I believe that it is the diehard Republicans in those states that don't want to follow those examples ( that seem to have worked ) because they were figured out in DEM states and they can't stand giving any Dem. state credit for anything
Have a nice afternoon

I see no reason to continue this with you, it is a true waste of time, arguing with you is like arguing with a blank wall with the same results.
