Can you link to where he said it was out of control? I didn't see that article.
As for deaths, I would think that deaths are the most important statistic regarding Coronavirus. Or do you believe what truly matters is people that contract the virus (whether with or without symptoms) is more important than whether they die from it?
Based on the chart you posted on deaths, I assume you are saying things are ok in Florida. That is incredible to me.
DeSantis had stated everything was under control and the increase in cases was due to testing and look at death rates, everything is fine. (just like your position).
Then he moved on it and said no, it is not due to testing, there is actual community transmission occurring, people please behave. Your position does not seem to have changed.
Real people die when politicians like DeSantis and trump ignores scientific advice
