The data is used by the Florida Hospital Association to track admissions and staffing shortages. The figures also show 2,400 of those patients are in ICU beds.The new number breaks a previous record for current hospitalizations set more than a year ago before vaccines were available. Last year, Florida hit its previous peak on July 23, with 10,170 hospitalizations.
Broward County’s school board voted last week to require facial coverings when in-person learning resumes this month, enforcingof the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the board reversed itself after DeSantis signed an executive order preventing mask mandates in schools, and empowering the state to deny funding to any districts that don’t comply.
“Unfortunately, Dade and Broward County lead the nation in hospitalizations,” Broward County Mayor Steve Geller said Monday. “The numbers are doubling every 10 or 11 days. Geometric progression. This is horrifying.”

Great job Florida!

There is a demonic foolishness and insanity that boggles the mind.

DeathSantis doesn't care how many people die, become permanently disabled, or become orphans. Doing nothing makes him feel like a tough guy
In March DeSantis held a covid roundtable that included Scott Atlas the trump medical advisor that was promoting ‘natural immunity’ by spreading covid to over 70% of the population. This is DeathDeSantis view of getting to immunity by letting covid rip thru our country.
GovRonDeSantis need to be locked the fk up ASAP! DeathDeSantis KillerRon

How many deaths?
Just think of all the healthcare dollars spent on their care that could of been avoided by a free shot - and that’s not even discussing the costs of funerals
Says the fake test or the fake media?
Desantis is a nightmare this and the money point disaster he has Florida all the way fcked up
how many deaths?
While DeSantis has been preoccupied w/Texas’ border and selling anti-Fauci merchandise, Floridians are literally dying from his COVID policies. In June, he said Florida was doing better than in April. So, he implemented policies that ensured Florida would be worse in July.
Trumpers being Trumpers....
I had a conversation with someone recently about this. They claimed there wouldn't be an increase. Mutations can be unpredictable. Get vaccinated 💉
