The best big state governor on COVID.
Florida's daily death and new case rates are higher now than before the lockdowns.
By the end of October, Florida will surpass NJ's death toll.
Florida also ranks at the bottom for testing rate, yet still has one of the highest positive rates on the tests they actually do.
Don't like it, don't go to Florida.

DeSantis proposes college 'bill of rights' to party
Slams threats to expel students, vows no more restaurant shutdowns

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he would seek a “bill of rights” for college students following crackdowns on parties and other social gatherings that some blame for a surge in COVID-19 cases on campuses around the country.
“I understand that universities are trying to do the right thing,” DeSantis said during a news briefing at the Capitol, “but I personally think it’s dramatically draconian that a student could get potentially expelled for going to a party. That’s what college kids do.”
The Republican governor also said he would move to block local governments from closing restaurants again, saying there’s little evidence such closures have slowed the spread of the coronavirus.
On Thursday, Florida reported 2,541 more COVID-19 cases, bringing the statewide total to more than 693,000. The state also reported 177 more deaths, bringing the total among Florida residents to at least 13,795.
The governor’s plan to stop cities and counties from closing restaurants will have no immediate effect, but addresses some cities’ threats of future shutdowns if virus cases surge. Most eateries have been allowed to reopen, albeit at reduced capacity, as part of the governor’s plan to revive the state economy.
The dual announcements came after a virtual roundtable the governor hosted from the Capitol. It included three experts who questioned some of the mandatory measures — including school closures and mask mandates — put in place to control the outbreak.
The experts — two from Stanford University and one from Harvard — acknowledged their views were outside the mainstream of thought within the public health community.
College administrators in Florida and elsewhere have warned students to heed pandemic precautions or suffer repercussions — not just to their health but to their academic careers.
“Students who endanger the community with actions such as hosting or attending a large party or gathering will be subject to suspension,” the president of Florida State University, John Thrasher, said last week.
School-aged children and young adults now account for one in every five of Florida’s virus cases, according to state health data. But DeSantis and the experts he convened said they were not alarmed because many young people do not develop serious symptoms. Only about 1% of the state’s deaths from COVID-19 involve someone under 25.
At Florida State, about 1,400 students have tested positive for COVID-19 since the beginning of August — about half of those occurring over a seven-day period ending Sept. 4. Since then, the number of new infections at the campus has declined.
DeSantis did not specify what would be included in his proposed “bill of rights” for college students.
“I just think that we’ve got to be reasonable about this and really focus the efforts on where the most significant risk is,” the governor said, adding that focus should remain on protecting the state’s most vulnerable, including older residents.
Since March, DeSantis has openly questioned the need for statewide mask mandates. But he shut down bars and nightclubs early on, and severely limited how restaurants could operate. Many of the most drastic restrictions have since been lifted.
“We can’t have these businesses dying,” DeSantis said Thursday. “So they’re not going to be able to be closed by locals anymore. And they will be able to operate at the capacity that they’re comfortable with.”

Florida has:
1. The highest daily death rate in the country
2. A higher rate of new daily cases than before the lockdowns
3. One of the lowest testing rates
4. One of the highest positive rates on the meager number of tests they actually do.
This isn't going to win you Florida. This is going to get people killed.
But I suppose you hate Americans enough to get them killed, hence why you post shit like this on JPP.
My suggestion, if you don't like the decision, is to stay in your fucking hideout in Atlanta.
Yes, it is really funny that you sit on your fat ass, hiding behind the shadow of anonymity JPP provides you, trying to get Americans to die because you don't want to admit you got conned by Trump into toiling his baggage.
Even when Trump is gone, you're still going to have to answer for him.
death rate is lowest it's ever been, near flat on the graph.

Yep. People will die, and Stretch is 100% to blame.
He's made numerous claims about Florida. Have you seen him provide anything to back it up other than BISSO?
Again, no source to back up the claim.
No, it's not.
You're a liar.
All you do is lie.
You lie because you simply don't know how to be truthful or honest.
And you lie because you want to kill Americans.
Florida's daily death rate is not anywhere close to below what it was prior to the lockdowns. It's actually higher, you liar:

Ouch. How embarrassing for everything you say, think, and believe.
This will blow up the death total by Election Day! Incredible.
Exactly. The headlines on November 1st will be: FLORIDA SURPASSES NEW JERSEY IN TOTAL DEATHS, GAINS ON NY.
