DeSantis for the win

All the other states -- except for seven (mainly red including Alaska) -- saw big Delta declines as well during the same timeframe. The primary difference in most of the blue states their Delta peaks in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths per capita were much lower than Florida. The Delta wave is over in most of the U.S.

Here is a reminder that no other state comes close to the Florida peaks with Delta.

Florida had nation’s worst COVID-19 death rate during summer surge
https://floridapolitics.com/archive...orst-covid-19-death-rate-during-summer-surge/

The delta variant-driven summer surge of 2021 was deadlier in Florida than in any other state.

The latest federal COVID-19 reports covering the period since June 20 — which roughly coincided with the time the summer surge began — shows that more people have since been reported to have died of the disease in Florida than in any other state.

Florida’s per-capita rate of reported COVID-19 deaths also has been higher than any other state in the period, which covers though Oct. 6.

Florida’s COVID-19 summer surge appears to be largely over, as the number of new confirmed cases has been plummeting for more than a month, and the number of deaths have been falling for a couple of weeks.

The same is mostly true nationally, though some states are seeing increases in their COVID-19 numbers. Most epidemiologists expect that cold states will see their surges peak during colder weather.

For now, as case and death numbers fall back toward where they were in June, before the summer surge began, the mortality toll of the disease’s summer outbreak in Florida is coming into clear focus.

More people were reported to have died in Florida since June 20 than in any other state — more than Texas, California, or Arizona. Even when Florida’s large population is factored in, Florida’s per-capita death rate was worse than all other states’, including smaller southern states that suffered harsh summer surges, such as Louisiana and Arkansas.

Cherry pick a time frame does not make a point

I could say that the death rate on Normandy Beach is almost zero, but June 1944 the death rate went up over 10000 ...Cherry pick syndrome

This is for the entire Delta surge time frame from June 20th to October 6th -- comparing Florida to every other U.S. state in this time frame. For a huge majority of the U.S. the Delta wave was squarely in the rear view mirror by early October.

Should be noted that the State of Florida is not reporting daily death data. They only provide updates a couple times per week to the Feds who report Florida data. This is all an example of DeSantis continuing to hide Covid data -- he has continually scaled back what the state reports in regards to Covid to the point now where information from the State of Florida is useless.

Let's take a look at recent actions by the DeSantis administration...

Yet the numbers in these states are in steep decline each day.... hence the Delta surge is over. In many blue states they had a minimal Delta impact due to high vaccinations and proper public health measures.

It's hard to believe that you are so completely ignorant and push continual nonsense.

Let's take a look at Covid cases in six states during Delta on a per capita basis.

This school is run by a GOP donor and DeSantis supporter.... let's see what they are doing? Yep, all aligned with DeSantis' agenda of undermining public health and not supporting Covid vaccinations.

A Florida school says students who get vaxxed must stay home for 30 days because of unfounded claim that they'll infect others
https://www.businessinsider.com/florida-school-says-vaxxed-kids-quarantine-30-days-each-dose-2021-10
  • Centner Academy in Florida told parents any student who gets vaccinated must quarantine for 30 days.
  • That's because of a belief that vaccinated students can infect unvaccinated students, WSVN reported.
  • An infectious-disease expert who spoke with WSVN characterized that belief as "science fiction."
A private school in Miami is requiring students who get vaccinated to quarantine at home for 30 days after each dose.

"Because of the potential impact on other students and our school community, vaccinated students will need to stay at home for 30 days post-vaccination for each dose and booster they receive and may return to school after 30 days as long as the student is healthy and symptom-free," a letter sent to parents of students at the Centner Academy said, the local news outlet WSVN reported.

The letter also urged parents to "hold off" on getting their children vaccinated until the summer "when there will be time for the potential transmission or shedding onto others to decrease."

School officials told Insider that the "policy was enacted as a prudent precautionary measure after much thoughtful deliberation."

One infectious-disease expert who spoke with WSVN characterized that belief as "science fiction."

"What happens 30 days after they get vaccinated? What kind of nonsense is this?" Dr. Aileen Marty from Florida International University said. "Where did they get that? There's nothing in the recommendations to that." She added, "They made that up. That's science fiction, not even science fiction because it's pure fiction."

None of the approved COVID-19 vaccines in the US "contain the live virus that causes COVID-19," a myth-busting page published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. "This means that a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19."

Additionally, early research has suggested that fully vaccinated people were less infectious than those who were unvaccinated. Health officials such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's topmost coronavirus expert, said vaccinated people who contracted the coronavirus were far less likely to spread it than unvaccinated people.

Data has also suggested that there's a hierarchy to the three approved vaccines in the United States, with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine being less effective against variants. Still, being vaccinated even with a Johnson & Johnson dose is better than not being vaccinated at all, health experts said.

Vaccines might cause symptoms such as fevers, the CDC said, but that's normal and a sign "that the body is building protection against the virus." An Insider analysis of more than a dozen studies found that Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca were highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Health officials are urging parents to vaccinate their kids against the coronavirus as soon as possible.

"Schools can promote vaccinations among teachers, staff, families, and eligible students by providing information about COVID-19 vaccination, encouraging vaccine trust and confidence, and establishing supportive policies and practices that make getting vaccinated as easy and convenient as possible," a CDC info page about vaccinating kids said.

The coronavirus and its variants have been spreading quickly across schools, infecting and sometimes killing students and teachers. An unvaccinated teacher in Californiai nfected 26 people with the coronavirus after removing their mask to read to the class. A Mississippi eighth-grader died of COVID-19 just a week into school in August. Two teachers in Texas died from COVID-19 just days apart, forcing the school district to temporarily close.

Centner Academy defended the letter sent to parents in a statement to Insider.

In a statement to WSVN, officials said: "Centner Academy's top priorities are our students' well-being and their sense of safety within our educational environment. We will continue to act in accordance with these priorities. The email that was sent to families today was grounded in these priorities."

Yep... a Florida school placing restrictions on vaccinated students may be breaking a large number of education laws and the entire operation may be decertified. But you would expect nothing less of a school owned by GOP donors and DeSantis supporters.

This is the end result of destroying public education w/CRT witch hunts and packing education boards w/GQP bought and paid for shills. This is what you wished for
