Good question. It’s the quote o’ the day:
Meanwhile:
DeSantis’ insane COVID policies have led him to push the Regeneron treatments over vaccines and masks. Here’s how that’s going:
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing a backlash after a photo of a Covid-19 patient curled up on a healthcare centre’s floor while awaiting treatment went viral.
According to Kailey Tracy of First Coast News, the city of Jacksonville confirmed that the photo was real and was taken at a monoclonal treatment centre at the downtown library on Wednesday.
According to Ms Tracy, a woman who claimed her husband took the photo posted it to Reddit.
“Woman who posted picture to Reddit says her husband took it, saw people crying in pain. COJ says they were waiting for treatment, providing triple # of wheelchairs now,” she reported.
The city issued a statement saying the centre where the photo was taken was not intended for people experiencing advanced covid symptoms.
“This treatment is meant to keep people OUT of the hospital and is designed for those early on in their COVID-19 diagnosis or for those who believe they have been exposed to COVID. Individuals with severe symptoms should contact a medical professional for guidance on the proper treatment for their situation,” the city said.
Florida recently opened several free monoclonal antibody centres in order to treat Covid-19 patients in an effort to ease overburdened hospitals in the state.
The centres are intended to provide early treatment in order to keep patients from developing worse symptoms that require hospitalisation.
More than half of the state’s ICU capacity is filled with coronavirus patients as of Tuesday. That number dwarfs the national average of 27 per cent, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
Texas has set up similar sites. That state’s Republican Governor Greg Abbott is receiving monoclonal antibody treatment after being diagnosed with Covid-19.
Trump 2.0 is making it sound as if all people need to do if they get COVID is run to one of the centers and get cured. No need for vaccines or masks, it’s all good. And while the treatments are very effective, they don’t work if you are in full-blown COVID which most people are not understanding. They are, after all, people who have refused to get vaccinated and won’t wear masks. They believe people like Trump and DeSantis.
In this regard he might as well be telling them to drink bleach.
