Florida has witnessed unprecedented, record-breaking growth in the daily number of COVID-19 cases and deaths reported.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Two months after Gov. Ron DeSantis boasted about proving the experts wrong by flattening the curve and getting COVID-19 under control, Florida has become the state that other states don’t want to become.of bars and nightclubs, Florida has witnessed unprecedented, record-breaking growth in the daily number of cases and deaths reported for the last two weeks.

But cases started spiraling upward as more businesses were allowed to reopen June 5. By June 26, the numbers had grown so exponentially that Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Halsey Beshears issued an emergency order shutting the bars back down. And if there is a resurgence, you want to take action to slow things down, Nuzzo said. From May to June, Florida had several phased openings for different businesses in different parts of the state.Cindy Prins, a clinical professor in epidemiology and Master of Public Health Program Director at University of Florida, agreed.

However, she noted that what Florida did to flatten the curve in the early phases of the pandemic was crucial to allow time for medical professionals to prepare for a potential surge and keep a relatively low daily death toll until recently. “We need to shut down back to where we were and deal with the financial consequences so we don’t have long term consequences for the state,” he said. “We’re doing a strong disservice to the tourism industry if we don’t take hold of this enemy.”

During a crisis, Swann said, it is also important to consistently communicate the risk to the public and what can be done to mitigate it. The positivity rate is the early warning system that there is a high transmission rate in the community and many more infected who are not being identified, Nuzzo said.

Political agendas over safety is what went wrong in Florida.

It's all just a media plot. Nothing to see here.

If you believe the test data

It’ll go away ,,,,, 🥴

For starters, they started lying about their numbers

Oh yea, Especially when 360 clinics fraudulently reported results X 10 their actual results. Why are you not reporting that or does it not fit with your left-wing propaganda agenda?

Blame DeSenseless.

Florida’s numbers are skewed...
