I don’t understand Florida:
CNN just reported that cases are up 948% in the past two weeks. They are not going to put any more resources toward testing and DeSantis is touting his new law that ban mask mandates in schools. He blames Biden for all new cases because he hasn’t provided enough monoclonal antibody treatments which I had heard don’t work well on the Omicron variant.
This is just crazy. Testing gives individuals and public health institutions information in order to plan and make decisions. It gives scientists the data they need to understand the virus. And these miscreants want to put their heads in the sand and pretend that the massive numbers of deaths are perfectly normal and we should just accept it.
There are 100,000 people in the hospital right now. Flights everywhere are being canceled, schools are in crisis with absences, businesses are stressed and the Florida government is just trolling as if nothing is happening. I just don’t get it.
