DeSantis for the win

[gwb-trading]

Well this is one issue I back DeSantis on. Even Biden stated the unemployed need to get back to work (there is an entire thread on this).

Jobless Americans sue Florida for ending $300 unemployment benefits early
DeSantis accused of violating 'statutory duty' to provide unemployment benefits to Florida residents
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/florida-sued-ending-unemployment-benefits

Out-of-work Americans in Florida filed a lawsuit against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday seeking to reinstate a pandemic relief program that paid out an extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits.

In a complaint filed late Sunday on behalf of 10 unemployed Floridians, three attorneys – Gautier Kitchen, Marie Mattox and Scott Behren – argued that DeSantis, as well as the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and its director Dane Eagle, violated their "clear legal and statutory duty to secure such benefits for employees" by prematurely ending the benefits.

The attorneys are requesting an emergency injunction to force Florida to reinstate the $300 a week benefit until the case is decided, as well as provide four weeks of retroactive benefits.

Right. Your usual histrionics aside, can you tell me what "unnecessary deaths" you are referring to where Florida is running "too high for a nation" where vaccines have been readily available?

Florida Excess Deaths vs.
View attachment 264454

Total US.

View attachment 264455

Given that the number of excess deaths for a given week timeframe (this is weekly data), we can see what % Florida contributes to the excess death amounts. For example, take the second peak (Jan 9th).

Total US excess deaths were 27,335 people in forecasted vs. expected. Of that, Florida was 1,191, or 4.3% of the excess deaths. Given that Florida's total population is 6.54% of the total US population, this would suggest that Florida is under represented in the excess death category.

So when you say that Florida is running "far too high" in the nation, the data would indicate you are completely and totally wrong. And pushing a narrative.

Your thoughts? I mean, if you've got any thoughts on the data presented. Not the usual silliness that comes out of your piehole.

So much "winning"...

Florida leads US in COVID-19 cases as hospitalizations surge

Yep, this is such "winning"...

Florida and Arkansas share a grim distinction for Covid-19
In these 2 states, every county is listed as 'high transmission' for Covid-19
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/26/health/florida-arkansas-high-covid-19-transmission/index.html

New cases triple over two weeks in Florida
Over the past week, Florida accounted for nearly a quarter of all cases in the United States -- more than any other state.

Florida, with 67 counties, reported an average of 10,452 new cases each day over the past week -- more than triple the daily average from two weeks ago, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

The case rate in Florida over the past week -- about 49 new cases per 100,000 people each day -- is more than three times the US rate of about 16 new cases per 100,000 people each day. Only Arkansas and Louisiana had higher case rates over the past week.

Florida hospitals are grappling with a surge of Covid-19 patients.

"We could be an entire hospital full of Covid in a matter of a month if things don't begin to slow down or vaccinations don't increase," Chad Neilsen, the director of infection prevention at the University of Florida Health Jacksonville, told CNN last week. Neilsen added that 90% of Covid patients at the hospital are not vaccinated.

Florida also reported more Covid-19 deaths than any other state over the past week -- a total of 282 over the past week -- the sixth highest per capita rate of deaths in the country.

The state has fully vaccinated 48.5% of its residents, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- below the US rate of 49.1%.

How many deaths?

Or is that coming someday soon? Maybe we need to wait for 8 weeks (which will then become 16) or so? I should go back to previous predictions in this thread - same time last year for solid gold.

Just a matter of time.... especially when nearly 100% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated.

Sure thing, bro. Just like these other predictions of yours. We should make a GWB's greatest hits.

Last July (2020)

soon the death rate from nursing homes in Florida will exceed New York's.

Or how Cruises wouldn't leave from Florida or all passengers would be 100% vaccinated and DeSantis would fold:

Only if 100% of the passengers are vaccinated. Pretty clear that DeSantis will fold or these cruises will leave from elsewhere.

Ah, and on the subject of how DeSantis would lead to Trump's ruin because the democrats would take Florida...

Biden expands lead to +13 over Trump in Florida, where Gov. DeSantis is now underwater thanks to a 31 point swing since April.

GOP can thank DeSantis for this...

On the subject of COVID, GWB is wrong. On the subject of Florida? Wrong. On the subject of DeSantis? Wrong wrong wrong.

In fact, it's possible that we've found the best contra-indicator out there. If GWB says it, its a good bet its the exact opposite!

Nine_Ender, you still around, bro? Another hit and run? Or am I back on ignore for the 8th time?

At this point you are just in denial like poster "Jem" and a few idiots like "Buy1Sell2". In terms of unnecessary deaths ( and likely long term illness cases ) Florida is running far too high for a nation where vaccines have been readily available for many months. It's kind of a running joke here how willfully stupid many Americans in your parts are concerning Covid.

Right. Your usual histrionics aside, can you tell me what "unnecessary deaths" you are referring to where Florida is running "too high for a nation" where vaccines have been readily available?
