Florida health officials recorded another record-breaking day, as cases of coronavirus spiked to their highest numbers yet in both Miami-Dade and Broward County on Saturday. Despite beach closures ahead of Fourth of July weekend to prevent large crowds from congregating, there were 2,418 new cases of coronavirus in Miami-Dade County on Saturday.
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber chastised residents for "not listening" and refusing to adhere to social distancing protocols and mask mandates that have been in effect for weeks.
"For some people, they're listening to mixed messages from Washington and they're deciding they don't need to wear a mask,"

Being careful does not include wearing a useless mask.

We are testing more people. Why? To find out who has it with no symptoms. Of course, they are going to find more people with it. If they don't, the tests are useless.

This proves that the severity of the Chinese virus has been grossly over stated.

Enough already. They will keep moving the goalposts over and over. The President should highlight Sweden every time he speaks. They were the only ones smart enough to save their economy. by trusting their people to care for themselves. Why do we never hear of their success?

The mixed messages did not come from DC. The message "all clear" came from mayors and governors who not only allowed protest marches, they encouraged and in some cases joined in.

Why the focus on Florida? Simple: Popular R Governor and the R convention in August.

Masks were never really recommended. Social distance and FREQUENT hand washing were. Remenber don't touch your face ? Because folk you can contract a virus through your eyes. You blink to keep them moist and when the virus lands up there you blink again.
What works is a full positive pressure hazmat suit with a self contained air supply.
Texas just brought up the whole mask thing. I wear one when in the grocer's, a private business who must go along to stay open, but that's it.

Masks are useless, as are total numbers of cases. Deaths have declined.

The pandemic is a scam being used to foment fear, but people saw thru it when rules weren't enforced for protesters. Our 'leaders' cannot have it both ways.
Trump's enemies took a virus (there are plenty of them), and hyped one into a monstrosity, and called it a 'pandemic'. People were suspicious from the beginning. Its an election year. People watched. They saw it was the equivalent of a severe flu season. People realized they had to go about their lives.
They try to shut things down again, there will be repercussions in November. That's why they are using a different tactic now with facemasks. The media is still trying to scare people, but people have stopped listening. If you are elderly or compromised health, you probably need to exercise additional caution, but that's it. Ultimately its up to the individual. You cannot hide inside your home for the rest of your life.
The next thing that needs to end are all the interstate quarantines.

I have a clear recollection of being told that this virus would fade away once warmer weather arrived.
You can't ask for much warmer weather than Florida in July.
And yet, Florida is getting a record number of cases. Ditto for Arizona.
What this data says to me is that our epidemiologists don't have a clue how this illness works.
Much less how to conquer it.
I'm not suggesting we not wear masks when in public.
Instead, I'm saying we're on our own.
For now anyway.

I live in Florida. I have 110 people in my little Village. None of them have been tested, None of them are sick and most of them don't believe the Mask thingy. Most of us are 75 to 80. Most of us have agreed we have no intention of sitting in our house for who knows how long. We're out there! We go to restaurants. We shop! We enjoy seeing our friends. We don't know how many days we have left in this world. We're darn sure not going to spend those precious days hiding behind closed doors. I think this the biggest Hoax ever to take over our country. Every time we get going again, Fauci appears and is the Doctor of Gloom and Doom! Well, I'm done with him! He's laughing at us for believing the drivel he gives us. All to try to stop Trump's re-election! Once he's elected, I'm betting we won't see Fauci ever again! He and the Scarf Lady will move on to some other plan to ruin this country!

The virus is becoming less deadly. That's the point. It's safe to go outside, sheeple.

I had noticed the shift in narrative. These fearmongers have no honor, to put it mildly.

#13, commies are simply out for power, any way they can get it.
Notice hospitalizations were up a whole 585 people (5.3%) out of the 11,000 new 'cases' they claim. Poorly written to not give useful information - were those new 'cases' people with the virus, or antibodies from having it? They don't say. And how many of those 585 have been discharged? Are they being given HCQ/Z-pak and zinc? Don't know because the 'news' is simply propaganda to influence weak-minded people's emotions, not reporting of facts in some coherent fashion.

Everyone who has been paying attention knew that there would be a big increase in COVID cases as soon as the country opened back up with greatly ramped up testing. Now while there are a lot more cases based upon a positive test, about 80% of the people testing positive are not getting sick, a circumstance that shows that the country can continue opening up, but older people, and people who are already sick other serious ailments who catch COVID could cause a very serious illness and possibly be fatal, must use common sense and must be as careful as possible while following CDC and State guidelines.

An honest article would say ‘vastly higher testing reveals enormous increase in cases with mild to no symptoms. Deaths continue their sharp decline.’ But that’s reality and honesty, kryptonite to lib journalists.

Nobody’s sending mixed messages from Washington, Dan, so just can it with the implied Trump swipe. He has been frustratingly careful not to contradict Dr. Faustus, so don’t even

Sorry, accidentally hit post too soon. Meant to say, don’t even try to pin this on Trump. People know the jig is up. All you mask avengers need to just stop.

Note that they have moved the goal posts. Cases now, not deaths. No mention of deaths. Just cases.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time. But you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time.
People are seeing that if you are under 50 years old, 99.9% will not die, and about 80% will not even get sick. If you are old, like I am, be more careful, we are at more risk. But let people decide for themselves.
People are tired of listening, and they don't believe the Karens any more.
How independence from Karens day?
