Just two months ago, Florida was experiencing the worst COVID-19 surge in the United States.The Sunshine State had the highest seven-day average of cases per day as well as the highest hospitalization rate in the country.Despite these grim metrics, Governor Ron DeSantis did not issue new lockdowns, closures or stay-at-home orders, arguing that the spike was due to a seasonal pattern of the virus and urging residents to get vaccinated.Now, with Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner, the Covid crisis looks really different in Florida.Inexplicably, cases and deaths have been going down despite DeSantis implementing no new mitigation measures.

Because lockdowns/masks just slow the recovery, at best. People who are going to get it are going to get it. Better to just let the virus run its course. We have treatments available so the death rate should be low.

Wearing a mask that harbors bacteria and depriving people of freedom is injurious to their health.

Because DeSantis followed the science, instead of the cult ministrations of CDC and the rest of the politician idiots at every level.

Because the democrat agenda is a high death toll, and Florida refuses to allow the killing fields there. I am to the point that I will refuse to go into a hospital in my state for anything but a car wreck. I no longer trust the medical protocols.

Makes one wonder what are the biggest factors for contracting COVID. Guessing climate and population density. Population more spread out in Florida for the most part. Florida is warmer than average. States like New York are far more dense (population-wise), and the weather is less than ideal.

It helps that DeSantis refused to implement draconian lock down measures and refused to go full Nazi with regard to vaccine mandates. It also helps that Florida isn't separated from Mexico by a shallow river.

Florida comes right behind New York in population density so I don't believe that's a big difference in Covid. Climate may be a contributing factor however other warm states are not doing as well as Florida. I think it has to do with early treatment (monoclonal antibodies) so people get covid and recover and herd immunity is developed. Remember lock downs and masks were to be for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Flattening the curve doesn't reduce the total number of cases, just spreads them over longer time.

Early last year after people began taking Covid seriously President Trump said that the virus would wash through the country then diminish. Of course he was condemned yet anyone who follows the track of an epidemic recognizes that indeed that is what will take place. No measure will halt the spread. No measure will make the virus disappear. Lockdown states like California have destroyed their economies, imprisoned people behind masks and in the end the result there is like Florida that remained free. Trump was right and it appears that DeSantis also recognizes reality.

And Norway got rid of masks, distancing, and the vaccines (optional) Number of covid deaths per week are now averaging just one. And now this; Swedish Public Health Agency reported that 70% of Covid 19 deaths involved “fully vaccinated” individuals between Sept. 1 and Sept. 24, according to Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. We need to get rid of everything. The masks, the vaccines, the boosters and just make sure we have plenty of HCQ and Ivermectin.

Another week, another series of fumbling, mumbling and disasters. How low can Joe Biden go? Once again, the common theme was weakness. At home and abroad, he is shrinking the presidency before our eyes.

Let’s be honest, Democrats. Joe Biden was elected — I will not relitigate the “stolen election” debate in this article — for one reason: to get rid of Donald Trump. Period. The Democrat Party could have nominated a blind, intellectually disabled squirrel, and the results of the 2020 election would not have changed. But let’s be clear: No one loves Joe Biden. Moreover, everyone from White House officials to members of Biden’s cabinet to Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill to the sock puppets of the so-called “mainstream” media is terrified every time Corn Pop’s pal opens his mouth — at which time he invariably mumbles something else stupid and/or incoherent.

JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald trained at a secret CIA camp preparing for an invasion of Cuba, the son of his alleged sniper teacher said. But Ricardo Morales Jr said that trainer—his dad Ricardo Sr—insisted after the November 1963 assassination that there was no way Oswald had the marksmanship to pull off the murder, further bolstering conspiracy theories over the doomed president's death. Morales Jr., 58, of Michigan, told Miami's Actualidad Radio that his father was a contract CIA worker, anti-Castro militant, counter-intelligence chief for Venezuela, FBI informant and drug dealer. Morales Sr went by the nickname 'Monkey', and was among the FBI's most infamous informants.

Animal rights organization PETA has called for Major League Baseball to "strike out" the word "bullpen" in favor of "arm barn" because, as the organization claims, the current term is a reference to a "holding area where terrified bulls are kept before slaughter." "Words matter, and baseball ‘bullpens’ devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a press release. "PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to changeup their language and embrace the ‘arm barn’ instead." [Tweet]

With Democrats controlling the Senate, it comes as no surprise that President Biden has successfully nominated dozens of federal judges, but nearly all of those picks enjoyed the support of a high-profile Republican: Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Graham, who until January was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, voted in favor of all but three of Biden’s picks who have gone before the full Senate for votes. In two of those cases he did not vote at all, and he voted no in just one.
