Meanwhile, DeSantis continues to talk nonsense.
    It is amazing masks are not required for the whole State. The whole COUNTRY, for that matter.

    The problem with how people are often measuring the performance of each state is that they don't take into account differences in testing rates.
    Maybe some, but not many. These cases are the result of bars, gyms, and other indoor businesses opening way too early. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the common characteristic of the states that are currently experiencing huge spikes. Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi. What do they all have in common. I think you can figure that one out.

    How many more were hospitalized? How many were told to go home? How many were asymptomatic?
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Amazing until you see the current occupant of the White House, and understand that his followers are a cult. Then it's easy. At this point. Here are the states with the most new cases today. In order. Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Texas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi. With the exception of California and North Carolina, all have Republican Governors who are nothing but Trump sycophants. This is not a coincidence.

    And the example you gave in the OP was outdoors.

    There is a lot of cognitive dissonance going on right now with the media, health agencies, and the left. Just today, health experts have come out saying that the protests that happened a few weeks ago don't appear to have affected the spread of COVID.

    When considering that plenty of the protesters did not wear masks or social distance, that implies that masks and social distancing aren't as vital as once believed.

    Granted, there is also the possibility that these people are running cover for a political movement they favor or are afraid to criticize.

    Either way, it's hard to tell people to social distance and wear masks while simultaneously saying that gatherings of hundreds and thousands of people in close proximity did not increase the spread of COVID.

    Your attempts at excusing the Republican death cult are a fail.

    DeSantis is a fool.
    They are also up in Cali. Is Newsom a fool too?

    OK, the testing thing.

    Testing does not make the pandemic worse. It makes it better because it is a valuable tool in reducing the spread.

    There are a certain number of cases out there.

    The more testing you have, the more cases you know about, the more cases you can do something about, at least tell the person so they know not to spread it.

    If you do less testing it does not reduce the number of cases out there. All it does is makes it so you don't know about them. That makes the pandemic worse because people will be less careful if they are unaware they are carriers and could be infectious.

    It is astonishing DT does not get this.

    That's terrible leadership. Really, it is a lack of leadership.
