Florida has record high deaths from Covid-19

[Darth Omar]

How would record high death numbers from Florida be blamable on New York politicians?

Record for FL.

Florida has done all that

I keep seeing video of people ignoring mask rules in Florida, and I keep seeing posts by Alt Right losers on here saying masks are useless.

The Repub convention in Jacksonville is high on trump lists of things he wants to do. He can imagine all they cheering when he wins the nomination, He hates to pass up that ego-building moment. Balloons, music and cheering. Trump does not want to pass that up. Risking lives for that, no problem. Desantis is using up his allotment of Trump brand kneepads. He is a spineless sissy who sees a big job if Trump steals the presidency again. He will not stand up to trump at all, ever.

Perfect.

But didn't you get the memo? It's all Fauci's fault.

Like your herd immunity thing, without even knowing what % of the population needs to contract the virus, or how long immunity even lasts?

So much winning?!!

Just needs to last long enough to starve the virus out of existence and/or relevance.

There’s a reason they don’t give Polio shots any more.

It's looking more and more like herd immunity will not be possible. It appears that in many people, antibody levels (and thus protection) wane after a short period of time.

That being said, it could be likely that even if you do get it again, the subsequent infection would be mild.

That would work, if it turned out like that.

We still have a ton to learn. We shouldn't be basing a whole national strategy on some hope of herd immunity with our current (poor) level of understanding.

Tom Hanks who had COVID in March, says he has less antibodies in his recent test than he had in his first test. That’s not comforting.

Yes, it's an oral form now.

I saw Tom Hanks interviewed and he said his antibody level is down. He says he is taking the same precautions as others. He doesn’t want to get it, again.

Well, we are, probably not from COVID lol.
