DeSantis for the win

Let's read the big disclaimer at the site -- which is no longer active since Florida stopped reporting daily COVID data.

Hospitalization Data by DOH
There is no active count of COVID-19 positive persons admitted to a hospital ER or as an in-patient by the Florida Department of Health (DOH) database.

DOH has never provided data about the number of people currently hospitalized or in the emergency room who are COVID-19 positive. They do not provide dates for when COVID-19 persons were admitted to or discharged from the ER or as in-patients to a hospital.

The only hospital-related data published by DOH is the Florida Metrics data, published every Sunday, which counts the total number of legal Florida residents who visited an ER in the state of Florida with symptoms matching the key terms of influenza and COVID-19 (reported by week).

Right, the data was last updated beginning of June. You're suggesting it suddenly goes the other way completely? But you have no data to prove this?

Additionally, I notice you ignore the CDC data posted. No response to that?
 
--I would put Fauci in this category as well.

He is the high priest of the fanatical. I wouldn't be shocked if GWB has a picture of the guy in a swimsuit the way you and I had posters of Heather Locklear and Heather Thomas growing up as teen boys (at least, I did).
 
Those who believe in a religion are never able to accept their religion challenged. Fanatics in religion are even worse, and take an "enemy at the gates" every time their faith is put to the test.

Facts matter... The COVID Hospitalization Rate in Florida tripled in a mere three weeks.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Current coronavirus hospitalizations in Florida have tripled in three weeks, according to data from the Health and Human Services.

As of July 24, HHS said 6,639 people are in the hospital with COVID-19 in Florida.

On July 3, data shows there were only 1,880 people in the hospital with COVID-19.

The highest report for current hospitalization for a day was back in July of 2020.

On July 23, 2020, 10,014 people were hospitalized with COVID-19.

AdventHealth is now at a red level status as hospitalizations increase in Central Florida.

More than 900 patients are hospitalized at AdventHealth locations in Central Florida.

The red status means hospitals may reschedule non-emergency surgeries.

At least 90 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations are among unvaccinated people, according to AdventHealth officials.

In the Orlando area, Orange County is reporting nearly 1,000 new COVID-19 cases daily.

“On Friday, (there) was 1,031 cases. On Friday, (of) those (1,031) cases, no one was vaccinated. Not a single person,” Dr. Raul Pino said. “The numbers continue to be greater between 15 to 44 years old, but especially the 25 to 44-year-olds should get vaccinated. That’s where we have the highest number (of new infections) in our community.”

So this strain should be over in Florida much more quickly than other states. Good news.

What facts? How about the fact that I told you months ago June, July and to some extent August were going to be hot zones in Florida just like they were last year?

How about the fact that deaths aren't spiking like cases and are at or close to the lows of where they've been since the pandemic began?

If you believe that Florida was going to be a hot zone -- then you would think that DeSantis would have taken some proper public health action such as masks to prevent it from being a hot zone in the summer months. Basically he learned nothing from last summer and is just doubling down -- while hospitals & ICUs in Florida fill up and get overrun.
