I hear you. And your point is well taken. Deaths could still rise, and it could possibly get really bad. But I don't think so. Again, I don't think so. What I'm tired of is blatant, slanted and misleading rhetoric designed to make a man look bad simply because the people who bet against him aren't yet correct. With each day that goes by and things don't get bad (deaths) the rhetoric gets louder and louder. People in this thread have been saying "death rates lag two weeks" back at the end of May, and here we are at the beginning of July.
I am perfectly willing to admit my error if it gets really bad and there are a lot more deaths. I hope this doesn't happen - not because I don't want to be wrong, but I'd rather people not die!
This should be the position everyone takes.
If DeSantis did his job properly then Florida would not have to worry about increasing cases and deaths. At this point this is about the complete failure of his administration to do even the basics to protect public health — instead he faked data to drive his re-open political agenda. This is the result of that. The criticism of DeSantis is well deserved.
