What do all these news accounts have in common?
“Florida Sets Yet Another Coronavirus Record: 173 Deaths In A Day”
“A record 173 Floridians died from the virus Thursday, an average of more than one every eight minutes.”
“The 134 new confirmed deaths is the second-largest increase on record, coming five days after the largest one-day jump of 156 last week.”
“COVID-19 has ravaged Florida, with more than 237,000 people testing positive and 2,013 dying from the virus in July alone.”
So what characteristic do all of the reports share? They are all false.
It is not true that 173

Same in Ohio. The numbers presented are statistically impossible...not improbable, impossible. After weeks of hectoring the state, they added a disclaimer to the covid dashboard and continue to err in their reporting.

What they have done is negate ALL information from these lying organizations.
I will ignore ALL advice from the CDC now, because they have shown themselves untrustworthy.
I will ignore ALL stats from the MSM now, because they have shown themselves untrustworthy.
By stretching the facts to fit their agenda, they have undermined their own influence permanently.

Judging from all the people who are going to Disney every day since it opened, I think most people have figured out what the media are doing. People here in FL are going about their business. We are wondering when DeSantis is going to take on the Media who are trying to take him down because he is a Trump Backer! Schools are going to open here. Most everything is open. It's like every other July except for the fact that everyone is walking around with a Mask on! That too shall pass!

The artical concludes by asking why the media is trying to panic the public with COVID lies. Let me try to help them to understand... To defeat Trump in November.

I keep hearing that nobody trusts the media, then I see people with masks on the beach and in open fields.

I am dismayed at the number of people quaking with fear behind their masks, while glaring at those who do not wear masks. It seems they are only too willing to accept propaganda and control by the Left and its Media... and join in 'enforcing' it. Wearing a non-medical mask to keep in/ out the minute Wuhan Virus is like putting up chicken wire to keep out mosquitoes. Sheeople.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Nothing is worse than fudging a count and calculating a rate from it. The Civic data has lost all integrity and is now useless.

Local news last night reported on the death of an eleven old black girl in Florida from the King Flu.
The story was that she had a fever day one, was taken to the ER, sent home, died the next day. The family said she had no risk factors, but the photo - her face only - showed a large face. That could have been an indication of obesity, which thrives in certain sub cultures.
I'm not sure the truth will ever come out.

The lies of the lying media are so blatant and obvious that it's laughable except some people are willing to believe them. Two thousand deaths in one day in a retirement state where the average age is higher than in the rest of the country should not even raise an eyebrow. Old people die every day, it's a fact of life.
The media's goal is to keep the panic going and the medical industry's goal is to make as much money from the coronavirus as they can because they had three months in this year with almost zero business income.

It's simple. There was that little presser where Governor DeSantis scolded them and told them Florida was not like NY and that's when the media decided to make Florida like NY.

And this is why I have stopped watching TV news. Its not news! It is lies and propaganda being used to cause a panic and manipulate people. Its an election year, and there is a full court press to remove Trump.
The other thing I have noticed is the news is working very hard to make Cuomo and DeSantis identical when it comes to CV19. I have heard repeatedly how Florida is sending CV19 patients to nursing homes (just like New York). They are covering for Cuomo.
Read the headline to my friend. Did she want to hear more? Nope. Listened to her daughter the other day say how Florida is becoming the new epicenter. I said nothing. People are going to believe what they want to believe regardless of facts. They don't want to listen? Fine by me. They have to find their own information from now on. It is not my job to provide it for them.
I don't talk to many people and CV19 is only reinforcing that. I will happily live in my own little corner of the world. Far too many people are becoming a pain to deal with. Do I wear a facemask? Yes. It is required everywhere. If I want to do grocery shopping, I have to wear a face mask. Its the price I have to pay to avoid confrontation. Meanwhile I do my shopping and get out as quickly as possible. I stay polite, but I don't say much to anyone, and a facemask certainly encourages that.

Lying INTENTIONALLY.
Fake News is their standard operating procedure.

There is no way so many are actually testing positive in FL. Some are counted multiple times and some dying from other reasons. DeSantis sends people with the virus to separate nursing homes. They are not returned back to where they were diagnosed.
Mostly those that test negative are not entered into the data base. Too hard to keep up.
