Florida is the only state where more people are dying of COVID now than ever before. What went wrong

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A few months ago, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Republican of Florida, declared his hands-off approach to COVID-19 “a tremendous success.” Politico announced that he had “won the pandemic.”

But then came the hypercontagious Delta variant, which continues to hit Florida harder than anywhere else in the country.

The result? DeSantis just added another, less flattering distinction to his résumé. When COVID first surged across the Sun Belt last summer, the average number of Floridians dying of the disease every 24 hours peaked at 185, according to the New York Times’s state-by-state COVID database. The same was true over the winter.

A few days ago, however, Florida’s daily death rate cleared 200 for the first time, and today it stands at 228 — an all-time high.

I live in this state and follow it carefully. Take an occasional look at WHERE in Florida the COVID situation is hitting hard and WHAT approaches DeSantis is using.

10. If only there were ways to prevent this virus from spreading so quickly.....

Horse paste, anal light, hydroxychloroquine, Clorox, and prayers don’t seem to be doing the trick. Where’s that doctor demon semen when you need her? And that Atlas dude? Paging stable genius trump, paging stable genius trump, pick up the red emergency COVID line…..
