For months, we’ve heard nothing but how evil Gov. Ron DeSantis is for not locking down his state with draconian and overreaching mandates. Even when Florida had the lowest transmission of any state, nobody wanted to talk about that. You’d think states like Michigan, California, and especially New York would be all over the media with their crazy surges in COVID cases but nope, Democrats run those states so our friendly neighborhood fire-fighting journalists don’t see the need to drag them.
Even though their data even now is far, far worse than Florida’s.
Christina Pushaw seems to have had ENOUGH (and who could blame her):
Christina Pushaw ~ Cases per 100k for last 7 days (source: CDC)
Florida: 1,186.4
New York City: 2,485.7
Florida has no mandates. NYC has the strictest mandates in the country.
Journalists & experts -- what's going on?
Read that again.
Florida has NO MANDATES.
NYC has the strictest mandates in the country. And yet their cases in a CITY are higher than an entire state.
Hrm.
Seems strange, right?
Christina Pushaw ~ For those who insist "NYC has more cases because they test more": Test positivity is also reported on the CDC website. Past 7 days positivity is 15-19.9% in NYC // 20-24% in Florida. This doesn't explain the massive disparity in case rates.
In other words, fewer people are testing positive per testing in NYC than they are in Florida.
As we said up there, strange.
Christina Pushaw ~ For those who spread misinformation about hospitalization rates, check the @HHSGov portal. Here's the data today:
NYC currently has twice the % of inpatient beds used for COVID, and almost triple the % ICU beds being used for COVID, compared to Florida.
