Ron DeathSentence is making Florida plague again.

Florida is first state where deaths higher in this Covid wave than previous ones

Florida now has record numbers of Covid-19 cases and deaths, surpassing figures from other points in the pandemic.

According to John’s Hopkins data, in July 2020 cases peaked at around 11,870 and 185 deaths, over a seven-day average, then peaked again in January 2021 with 17,991 cases of Covid-19 and 175 deaths in a seven day period. On 23 August 2021, cases shot up to 37,685 and 297 deaths.

Florida is now the epicentre of the US’s coronavirus pandemic, as the country struggles to get a grip of the contagious Delta variant. According to data from the US Department of Health, ICU bed capacity currently sits at 93.2 per cent in Florida. States with low uptakes of the vaccine have been particularly harder hit by the Delta variant.

Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order in the state in July prohibiting mask mandates in schools. “The federal government has no right to tell parents that in order for their kids to attend school in person, they must be forced to wear a mask all day, every day,” said Mr DeSantis.

“We know that masks are a simple and effective way to help prevent virus spread, and from a medical perspective it makes absolutely zero sense to discourage their use,” Dr Bernard Ashby, head of Florida’s progressive Committee to Protect Health Care, told the Associated Press.

Mr DeSantis also said there could be financial ramifications for educators who enforce mask-wearing in schools, to which President Joe Biden responded: “If a governor wants to cut the pay of a hard-working education leader who requires masks in the classroom, the money from the American Rescue Plan can be used to pay that person’s salary.”

More than 70 “exhausted” doctors in Palm Beach County, Florida, gathered to tell press and the local community to get vaccinated on Monday. “The vaccine still remains the most effective and reliable way to stop this madness,” said infectious disease specialist Dr Leslie Diaz. “We are exhausted,” said internal medicine specialist Dr Rupesh Dharia. “Our patience and resources are running low, and we need your help.”

There have been a total of 3,071,489 Covid cases in Florida to date and 42,252 deaths as a result of the disease. More than 52 per cent of the state’s population has been fully vaccinated. According to the CDC, more than 50 per cent of the entire US population has been fully vaccinated.

Yeah, well, Scot Dutchy has been pulling the same set of "fairy data" type stunts for months now, so it makes no difference if there was a sudden announcement by RIVM that their figures a garbage. I am not at all surprised he can't find the link to the alleged confession of having made guesstimates. It probably does not exist.

Not that I'd accuse him of fibbing. Like our member from Yellowknife he just isn't all that good at discerning the meaning of whatever he happens to be reading or listening to. Besides, calling someone a liar is against the rules.

Apparently keeping a country virtually covid-free during a raging global epidemic is the same as 'banging your head against a wall'.

FFS Brian. Keeping on a policy that is failing and refusing to acknowledge it is banging your head against a wall. Fernland should be totally vaccinated but they love their isolation on their earth-quake prone islands.

I've already explained that (it applies to Oz as well). The isolation was indeed what kept early case numbers very low in comparison with the rest of the world. This did lead to some complacency, and a slow start to vaccination in both countries, which in hindsight was a mistake. Now both countries are getting jabs done at a faster rate, and should be in a much stronger position by the end of November.

Insulting is not what you are doing. Keep taking the kool-aide. I just only accept absolute data but apparently you like estimates and assumptions. When I read the RIVM data as is the World Data based on estimates I rejected it something you are unable to do. If anyone is lying it is not me but you take all official data as fact without question.
The link is in the documents but of course you cant find it.
You are completely useless as you cant discern what is fact and lies. Do you really accept world data as fact?
More fool you but that is to be expected as your world knowledge is non-existent. Maybe you should go back to your home country and learn how a real democracy functions. Ozland has never been a democracy which is the case for the whole Anglo-Saxon world.
HINT: look up how the RIVM estimates data.

Simon Birmingham acknowledges targeted lockdowns could still happen once 70% to 80% of adults are vaccinated and hardship assistance will be provided. Follow latest updates live

What a mess. 80% you are joking. Ozland does not even that amount in stock.

Actually we do, at least AstraZeneca, which is made in Melbourne; oodles of doses available. Millions of doses of Moderna arriving in a few weeks as well.

Scot starts losing an argument and turns to his worn out tactic of attacking Anglo-Saxons like that's even slightly relevant to the subject under discussion. Typical Dutch-Anglo mindset.

...apparently you like estimates and assumptions.

You claimed "they are only gestimations. So another load of crap." and "I read later the RIVM data was estimates so its crap" When I asked you for a link you declined. So, it remains up to you to substantiate that RIVM's data "are only gestimations. So another load of crap"

The link is in the documents but of course you cant find it.

It is not up to me to substantiate your claims quoted above. It is up to you.

[pErvinalia]

He already said he can't find it. Which makes his retort to you even more retarded.
