So other governors aren't talking about protecting the vulnerable? And again, are nursing home deaths in their state rising? Because this is all that matters - results. You can shout at the rain all day long about how DeSantis is corrupt without proving anything, and you will, but no one but you actually cares. Maybe you and the Miami Herald. Most Floridians certainly don't.
Good info. I've no doubt its gotten worse. Still, deaths by date of death is the best measure to look at. And when you look at it that way, it tells a much better story.
The actual numbers are irrelevant, statistically insignificant to the overall population. They only serve to identify and expose the agenda. Nothing has been done to prevent and protect those who are truly at risk of dying, nothing. The more dead the better which is why nursing homes remain vulnerable. It's why those who are truly in the at risk group are not being identified and told to quarantine. Sorry fatty, can't come in the restuarant. ACLU would be filing lawsuits. Close down the restaurant completely, ACLU silent.
DeSantis and his associates have been squawking "protect the vulnerable" on repeat like parrots. Yet they have taken no steps to protect the vulnerable in nursing homes --- everything they done has only made the situation worse. As noted by the AARP Florida already has one of the highest death rates in nursing homes. In a state where COVID cases and hospitalizations are rapidly rising -- steps should be taken to lock down nursing homes, limit visitors, and ensure staff/residents in the nursing homes are tested for COVID regularly. Let take a look at what the Republican governor of another state is doing in providing an appropriate response to "protect the vulnerable"...

And how are nursing home deaths in Florida doing? Are they rising or falling? Keeping in mind that they already had one of the top nursing home death rates according to the AARP.
You told us they were rising. I am assuming you have the facts behind that. I don't remember disputing it. Did I? So how are they doing in Maryland? Also, can you provide the AARP study backing that claim? I'd like to read it. You say "one of the top rates", but what rates are we talking about? What is the ranking? Top 10? Top 2? Big difference. Since Florida has a disproportionate amount of elderly, this has to be taken into account.

Going to read the AARP thing now. You don't want to answer the Maryland Nursing Home question, though, do you. Doesn't fit with the narrative?
The Republican governor of Maryland is taking the correct action to protect the vulnerable in nursing homes in his state as COVID case, hospitalizations, and deaths are rising. Why do you have a problem with this? Is it wrong to protect the vulnerable?
