Before you tell someone to read something... an intelligent person would read it themselves, have the comprehension to understand it and then determine if it supports your conjecture or not. Being that you have shown you frequently don't understand what your read nobody is going to think you actually have any useful sort of support for your bullshit without a link.
Once again let's provide the information from the CDC and see if you can read & comprehend it. Florida has more community spread cases of "COVID variants of concern" than any other state. This unchecked community spread of cases started earlier in Florida than any other state. Let's take a look at the U.K. B.1.1.7 variant information for Florida again... Variants of Concern - Charts by Date (clickable for each state) See how the UK-discovered B.1.1.7 variant first appeared in Florida in significant numbers when reviewing the bar charts by date. https://www.helix.com/pages/helix-covid-19-surveillance-dashboard Chart for Florida... While a couple other states found cases in December - these involved individuals who came directly from the U.K. The cases in Florida involved unchecked community spread. The Federal Coronavirus Task Force issued reports outlining how dire the unchecked COVID variant situation was in Florida and the need for Florida to impose immediate restrictions to stop this spread before it impacted the entire nation. DeSantis deliberately hid the Federal Coronavirus Task Force reports and refused to release them to the public. DeSantis also refused to release Florida numbers for COVID variants thereby trying to cover up the entire COVID variant fiasco in Florida. The federal government had to obtain Florida COVID variant numbers via the testing labs (which are not even the full total).
YouTube pulls video of DeSantis hosting roundtable with COVID-deniers for violating community standards. YouTube Purges Florida Governor Video Google-owned video giant says it removed a discussion between Ron DeSantis and medical experts for contradicting the “consensus of local and global health authorities” https://www.thewrap.com/youtube-pur...over-claims-children-dont-need-to-wear-masks/ YouTube has deleted a video in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and a handful of medical experts questioned the effectiveness of having children wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19. The video, which was removed on Wednesday, was of a recent roundtable discussion DeSantis moderated on the global response to the pandemic. DeSantis was joined by Oxford epidemiologist Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Harvard professor Dr. Martin Kulldorff, and Dr. Scott Atlas and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford University. The clip was posted by the American Institute for Economic Research, and a transcript of the discussion can be found on the group’s website by clicking here. A YouTube rep confirmed to TheWrap on Thursday the video was removed due to multiple instances where the doctors said children didn’t need to wear masks. This position, a YouTube rep said, violated the Google-owned video site’s “COVID-19 medical misinformation” policies, which you can find here. “YouTube has clear policies around COVID-19 medical misinformation to support the health and safety of our users,” a rep said in a statement. “We removed AIER’s video because it included content that contradicts the consensus of local and global health authorities regarding the efficacy of masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We allow videos that otherwise violate our policies to remain on the platform if they contain sufficient educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context. Our policies apply to everyone, and focus on content regardless of the speaker or channel.” Here are a few exchanges that caught the attention of YouTube’s censors: DeSantis at one point in the video asked if it was necessary for kids to wear masks in school. Dr. Kulldorff in response said “children should not wear face masks, no. They don’t need it for their own protection and they don’t need it for protecting other people, either.” Dr. Bhattacharya said it is “developmentally inappropriate” for children to wear masks and that it “just doesn’t help on the disease spread.” He added: “I think it’s absolutely not the right thing to do… if we went back a year, a lot of experts would say that wearing masks for the general public is not evidence-based.” Dr. Atlas later said “there’s no scientific rationale or logic to have children wear masks in schools.” A rep for Gov. DeSantis did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment. The World Health Organization’s guidance on masks says children 5 and under don’t need to wear masks; children between the ages of 6 and 11, the WHO said, should wear masks when they’re in areas of “widespread transmission,” and kids 12 and up “should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults,” like when they’re within 1 meter of the person they’re talking to and indoors.
New study finds link between fans at NFL games, Dolphins included, and COVID-19 spread https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article250519204.htmlhttps://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article250519204.html The first of November, 2020, was a celebratory day for the Miami Dolphins franchise. Tua Tagovailoa made his much-anticipated first NFL start, and the Dolphins crushed the Rams 28-17. The crowd on hand made plenty of noise, even though there were just 12,397 of them. Hard Rock Stadium was at one-fifth capacity, but that was by design. The Dolphins took every precaution short of banning fans altogether to prevent the spread of COVID-19 — social distancing, high-end cleaning, mobile touchless entry, cashless concessions, no tailgating and mandatory mask wearing. And yet 14 days later, Miami-Dade recorded a spike in positive coronavirus tests (2,385). Was the Dolphins game partially to blame? It was just one data point, of course, but part of what researchers say was a broader trend throughout the National Football League in 2020. A new multi-university study, which included contributors from University of Miami, claims to have found a link between fan attendance at NFL games — particularly in stadiums with huge crowds — and episodic spikes in the count of COVID-19 cases/rates in nearby communities. Their research has been submitted to Lancet, a scientific journal, for peer review and was made public this week. Alex Piquero, the chair of UM’s sociology department and one of the study’s authors, explained how he and his colleagues found a link between games with large crowds and spikes in infections: “We compared COVID-19 cases data alongside game attendance data in order to examine if there was any evidence of increases in COVID-19 subsequent to fan attended games at seven, 14, and 21 days thereafter — which is the time when the virus takes hold,” Piquero told the Miami Herald. “For the league comparisons, we did not find much evidence after seven days, which is not entirely surprising given COVID-19’s incubation period. But we did detect significant spikes at 14 and 21 days in communities that had fans at games compared to those that did not have fans at those games.” When reached for comment, a spokesman for the Miami Dolphins referred the Herald to National Football League, which in a statement disputed the report’s findings. The league said NFL games with fans did not have an impact on overall COVID cases at the local level — pointing to research done by MIT and a peer-reviewed published study by Georgia Tech and Harvard. “With the expert guidance of local, state and federal public health officials, including the CDC, we hosted fans safely and responsibly during the 2020 NFL season,” the NFL wrote. “Those same experts and an independent group of researchers at MIT have told us our approach worked: there were no local clusters of COVID cases traced to our games. We are proud of that outcome and will apply the same principled effort — putting health and safety first for all involved — going forward into the 2021 season.” While his group’s research found Miami-Dade and the surrounding counties did experience a greater spike in COVID-19 case rates post-Dolphins games than those cities that did not allow fans, Piquero said the team’s decision to limit capacity certainly helped. There were far more pronounced surges in towns that allowed bigger crowds, the study found. “When stadiums had fewer than 5,000 fans, we did not detect elevated COVID case numbers like we did with teams that permitted more than 20,000 fans,” Piquero said. While this research was gathered during a time of dangerously high level of spread with no available vaccines, the study has real-time applications: The Texas Rangers have no restrictions on attendance this season, and are averaging nearly 25,000 fans per home game, including a sell-out crowd of 32,238 in their opener. “Right now, the Marlins, Panthers, and Heat are all permitting some limited fans, with extensive protocols, in attendance,” Piquero said. “I think this slowly introducing fans into games with continued mask wearing, social distancing, and related protocols in place is a sensible strategy and I applaud the efforts made by those organizations. However, opening up to capacity right now, as the Texas Rangers baseball club did this week, or in the foreseeable future until more people have been vaccinated and the variants reined in —which is a problem right now in South Florida — is not a sensible strategy.”
Other governors publicly get their COVID vaccines to boost confidence in vaccinations across the people of their state. DeSantis - he hides away. So much for proper leadership. DeSantis Receives Coronavirus Vaccination, But Not In Public https://wusf.org/desantis-receives-coronavirus-vaccination-but-not-in-public/ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has be vaccinated for the coronavirus, his office confirmed Wednesday. The Republican governor got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires only a single dose last week out of the public eye. DeSantis had recently said he would get vaccinated soon. Last Thursday, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried became Florida’s first statewide elected official to get publicly vaccinated. The only Democrat on the Cabinet went to a testing site at the Al Lawson Multi-Purpose Center on the campus of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. Fried received her first of two Moderna shots. It took less than five minutes. DeSantis, 42, and Fried, 43, became eligible last week because of the decision by the governor to open up vaccines to adults age 40 and over. This week, the age cutoff was expanded to 16 and older.
you still have not provided evidence to support your conjecture... yet alone proof. I realize you don't understand because you are in reptile fear mode and exhibit no comprehension or logic... But... you could phone a friend and ask for help.
You should read the CDC data and educate yourself. The important words for Florida are unchecked community spread of COVID variants. The first 37 cases of "COVID variants of concern" in North Carolina were all directly traced to Florida. Florida is plague-central engaged in infecting other states.
This is not an unusual finding even it is based on modeling. I think anywhere you would have masses of people coming in from diverse place and congregating near each other... particularly at times being indoors... you would be at risk of spread. That is of course how viruses spread.
So what... that does prove your conjecture... Nobody has argued that the virus did not spread in Florida once it got there.
