DeSantis's Department of Public Health is urging those with symptoms not to be tested. Because nothing holds the case count down better in Florida like not testing the sick. How will they ever know if they need "early treatment". Let me just say --- urging those who have symptoms not to get tested is just depraved. Florida Health Department Updates COVID-19 Testing Guidance To Reduce Demand https://miami.cbslocal.com/2022/01/06/florida-health-department-updates-covid-testing-guidance/ "People with symptoms who are not in the high-risk groups should get tested and seek medical attention only if necessary."
You would think that rational government entities would understand the importance of having healthcare workers vaccinated. Not so in DeSantis' Florida.

Poor old "South Florida Trophy Wife" you would think @Tsing Tao would be helping her out by forwarding the information below about how to get monoclonal antibody treatment in North Carolina so she can help her "dear friend". As per the Tweet -- going to a "telehealth" MD probably referred to you by "America's Frontline Doctors" who are trying to sell you Ivermectin is not going to get you in the queue for monoclonal antibody treatment in North Carolina. Her "dear friend" needs to follow the easily available instructions on how to get treatment in NC. We will probably find out that the reality is that her "her friend's husband" did not medical qualify or was already too late since having symptoms to get monoclonal antibody treatment. But not to worry, she can drive her husband to Florida where anyone can walk in the door and get monoclonal antibody treatment with Regeneron -- even if it is completely ineffective against Omicron, hopefully it will make them feel more content getting a placebo that serves no useful medical purpose. We should all note that other states have stopped using the two monoclonal antibody treatments which are useless against Omicron --- but not Florida.

At some point you have to ask if DeSantis is completely ignorant or just pandering to the Trumpers. "Why didn't people get tested for Covid before the pandemic showed up?" Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis asked if people ever sought testing to see if they were sick before the coronavirus pandemic: 'Think about it' https://www.businessinsider.com/des...got-tested-for-illness-before-covid-19-2022-1 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week asked if people ever got tested for illness prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. His comments sparked confusion online, with many pointing out common preventative screenings for diseases like cancer. DeSantis recently faced criticism for allowing around one million COVID-19 tests to expire in a warehouse. (See more about DeSantis' ignorance at the above url)
Let's see how things are going in DeSantis' Florida -- oh, he is "winning" so hugely. The "winning' is overwhelming. Friday's Report Florida breaks single-day COVID record with 76,887 cases. Cases soar in South Florida https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article257131682.html Saturday's Report COVID-19 update: Florida reports 69,914 new cases; hospitalizations up 70% in one week https://www.sun-sentinel.com/corona...0220108-pbhjlexannhrvhgsiolsjz4v6m-story.html For the week Florida reports almost 400,000 new COVID infections, skyrocketing hospitalizations https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story...an-400-000-reported-just-one-week/9122793002/
