"DeSantis for the win" -- Florida is Number 1 in Death Forecast. Beating out all the other states. Florida Ranks First In CDC’S Thanksgiving Week COVID-19 Death Forecast https://miami.cbslocal.com/2021/11/...cs-thanksgiving-week-covid-19-death-forecast/ MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The CDC published its latest predictions in the fight against the coronavirus and said it expects an increase in COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations over the next four weeks, according to its new ensemble forecasts. According to Johns Hopkins University, the current COVID-related death toll in the US now stands at 773,000. The CDC forecasts suggest, by December 18, the new death toll could be between 794,000 and 822,000. The agency also predicts hospitals are likely to admit more than 12,000 new COVID patients in the next four weeks. Florida ranks the No. 1 state for predicted number of COVID-19 deaths for the week ending Nov. 28 with 279. Last week, there were 19 new COVID-19 deaths in Florida, which is a change of +1368%. Factors that could throw off the forecasts range from the rise of new variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 to the start of a new flu epidemic.
For those who have not been paying attention - Covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are going up again in DeSantis' "freedum" Covid-spreader paradise. Florida COVID update: 1,523 new cases added to state tally, as hospital patients increase https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article256098652.html
Yeah, going up. Its a wonder I had to go back 6 pages to find this thread with all the disaster in Florida! As Winter Approaches, COVID Cases Bottom Out In Florida, Surge To Peak Levels In The North Liam Edgar November 30, 2021 As much of the world, including America’s own president, trembles before a new strain of COVID-19 that, as of the moment, leaves its “victims” with more or less the equivalent of a bad head cold, Florida continues to bask in the light of the lowest rate of new infection of actual COVID, According to The New York Times’ coronavirus tracker, Florida as of Monday was reporting just three cases per 100,000 people. That was down by half in just the last few days and is the lowest rate in the country, Breitbart News noted. Meanwhile, Brietbart reported how the Sunshine State, led by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, the left-wing media’s favorite elected punching bag, stacked up against several blue states, which, as the outlet pointed out, have been “lavished with praise by the left throughout the course of the pandemic.” Michigan, under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, reports the highest daily new-case infection rate at the moment, with 85 per 100,000. That’s up 59 percent over the past two weeks and 28 times the rate of Florida. Pennsylvania, with Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf at the helm, now records 44 cases per 100,000, or 15 times what Florida is reporting. Illinois, under Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, clocks in with 37 per 100,000, or about 12 times what Florida is experiencing. And New York, under new Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who took over for the media’s former favorite state-level chief executive, Andrew Cuomo, has 30 per capita, a mere 10 times the rate in Florida. Three months ago, DeSantis predicted that COVID was a seasonal illness – and was widely mocked for such an idea, which was based on the available scientific data at the time, as DeSantis’ staff pointed out. He told reporters in mid-August that Florida was in its “COVID season.” As The Washington Post characterized it, “DeSantis has argued that the recent record-breaking rise in new coronavirus cases and hospitalizations was unavoidable as temperatures rise and more people gather indoors, denying that easing restrictions and an uptick in tourism led to the surge.” “But the claim,” the Post continued, “that the time of year has a greater impact on transmission than mitigation measures such as mask mandates and social distancing contradicts guidance from researchers and public health experts, who warn people should get vaccinated and take precautions amid the rampant spread of the delta variant in Florida.” And then, just like that, the Post validated DeSantis without even correcting itself, or even acknowledging its past criticism. In a Thanksgiving Day article that tried to explain why COVID, despite a massive amount of vaccines, was now rocketing to record levels in places like Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont and Massachusetts – can you spot the common denominator? – the Post said, “The surge can be attributed to several factors.” One was an “already high” baseline at the end of the summer. What was another? “Cold weather is driving more gatherings indoors,” the Post reported. The paper quoted Amber D’Souza, professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, who noted, “We are absolutely heading into an additional wave this winter across the country that may hit at different times and it may be at different extents in different parts of the country.” The Post then reported, “Earlier this month, the number of Covid-19 patients in parts of Colorado matched peaks from late last year at the same time previous southern state hot spots, like Florida and Texas, saw marked declines in cases.” To explain this, the Post turned to D’Souza, who said, “Part of that is just how our behavior changes as things get colder and we are in more places inside and in close proximity to people where infection spreads.” It’s almost as if she’s saying Democratic-run, blue states in the north now find themselves in “COVID season.”
Florida is DEAD LAST in the US for cases per 100k according to the NYT. Dead. Last. How can DeSantis be so evil with the best state in the nation?
LOL....another "forecast" that we'll revisit by December 18! Bookmarked. I'm sure we'll hear all about all the "hidden numbers" or some bullshit. "Florida ranks the No. 1 state for predicted number of COVID-19 deaths for the week ending Nov. 28 with 279. Last week, there were 19 new COVID-19 deaths in Florida, which is a change of +1368%." Ahahha.....sure. Going from 1 death to 2 is a 100% increase!! That must mean florida is seeing the end of times! what a total joke you are.
And yet -- in Florida under their death reporting system we will need to wait many weeks to see how many deaths occurred during this particular week.
Let's see what DeSantis' idiot spokesperson, Christina Pushaw, is up to... DeSantis Spokeswoman Deletes Tweet Promoting the False News that Pelosi Bought a $25 Million Estate in Florida https://www.mediaite.com/news/desan...pelosi-bought-a-25-million-estate-in-florida/ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) spokeswoman Christina Pushaw scrubbed a message on Twitter promoting last week’s false claim that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had closed on a deal to purchase a $25 million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida. “Nancy Pelosi just bought a $25,000,000 mansion in Florida,” Andrew Pollack wrote in the Nov. 23 tweet that Pushaw shared. “Remember this the next time she criticizes @GovRonDeSantis for keeping Florida open and taxes low.” The false claim appeared to originate with John Cardillo on Nov. 20, when the conservative Twitter personality said “local sources” told him Pelosi had purchased an estate in the luxury coastal community. The inaccurate claim quickly spread through a variety of conservative media outlets. Pelosi spokesman Andrew Hammill denied the report days later, saying in a Nov. 24 statement to media it was “completely false” and adding, “There’s no such pending sale nor is the family looking or interested.” The claim by Pushaw had vanished from Twitter as of Nov. 29. Whoever does purchase the 10,000-square-foot residence in question should expect to get hit with a monthly tax bill of a little more than $21,000, according to public listings, but they’ll enjoy an “open chef inspired gourmet kitchen, custom wine cellar, private elevator,” and a “six bedroom split floorplan providing maximum privacy for your master retreat.” The home last sold in 2015 for $14.4 million. The town in Florida’s Martin County houses around 800 residents and boasts a median household income slightly above $190,000, according to the Census Bureau, a little less than the $223,500 salary the 82-year-old Pelosi draws from the House of Representatives. Her husband, Paul Pelosi, makes considerably more as the founder of venture capital firm Financial Leasing Services. His personal investment activity drew scrutiny in January, when congressional disclosure forms revealed he purchased up to $1 million in Tesla stock options — just as the Biden administration prepared to take measures promoting electric vehicle manufacturing. Congressional disclosures indicated the couple held up to $257 million assets as of 2018, along with $97 million in liabilities, for a maximum net worth of $160 million.
So Pushaw posts an emoji with a facepalm to a false tweet some other verified Twitter user posted, and the hounds (and you, of course) rush to make fun of her? The humanity! A fake emoji!! Bunch of clowns.
