.... Florida reported 9,344 new COVID-19 cases and 78 new deaths on Sunday with 11 percent of all new tests coming back positive.

New York City currently has a 1% positive test rate with 609 new positive cases in the whole state. And people still don't know how to connect dots and comprehend how science works. NYC got it under control by shutting down, masks and social distancing. Florida governor was so keen on being Trump's best friend that people died rather than him doing the right thing. I hope for Florida's sake that he is no re-elected.

It's a mess. My son is waiting for his test results - his job is considered essential.

Has he been feeling badly? I hope he's OK. It was so scary at first because so little was known. But we know a lot more now than we did in March and it's been proven that masks work along with social distancing.

According to Forbes Magazine:

Of the 19 states that have yet to issue a mask mandate, 18 are run by Republican governors, a sign facial covering orders remain a partisan issue among public officials even as polling shows the divide around them fading.

The other state is Wisconsin whose republican state senate sued the governor's lock down early in the pandemic.

What a sad state this country is in.

Facts:

NY State has a population of 19.45M
FL has a population of 21,48M......that's roughly 2M more people

NY State has had over 25,000 deaths
FL has had 5,931 deaths

Anyone connecting the dots here yet?

It's not the number of cases that is all that important. It's the death rate, and NY has it over FL....like roughly 4 times as many dead people, yet again, NY has 2M fewer people..

Then we have long term care residents whose deaths Cuomo was majorly responsible for. NY State = approx 25,000 dead
FL = approx 4,100 dead.

I wish I could ‘like’ this over and over and over again.

This isn’t really directed at you because you are, well, you’re stupid. Pretty much everyone else here is able to use critical thinking so I’ll reply.

New York was the first state to be inundated with this unknown virus. Massachusetts followed along with Michigan, Washington, New Jersey. These states were the top five, give or take in the amount of cases. More people were dying earlier because treatment was unknown.

These states starting shutting down including schools. By June it was clear shut down, masks and social distance slowed the virus and these states were no longer the top five in new cases.

What we learned over the first few weeks was ignored by governors in states that now are in the top for most new cases. California, Florida, Texas, Arizona. Currently 1,000 people are dying every day in the US From the virus. Many needlessly dead because of politics and fighting over the “political correctness “ of mask wearing.

Herman Caine Tweeted about July 4 event - “Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by Donald Trump. PEOPLE ARE FED UP! “.

Caine is still hospitalized four weeks after contracting COVID-19 and hasn’t personally been heard from since. Someone Tweets for him.

Absolutely disgusting.

Same with New Jersey. Masking and social distancing works... not sure why others don’t see it.

Cuomo followed Trump in the beginning. Then he looked out for New Yorkers and our numbers went down.

Everyone was hoping to follow the leader as is usually the case in these situations. Soon enough Trump told them they were on their own. Worked much better for Ny, NJ, CT, MASS and others.
