    Default Florida Covid-19 deaths have biggest spike since Thanksgiving, but... It is worse

    Florida logged 470 deaths from Covid-19, which is the biggest spike since Thanksgiving. It is much worse, for a couple of reasons. Florida is delaying death reports by weeks, and sometimes as much as two months. The Florida Air National Guard is transporting the worst cases to better equipped hospitals in the Northeast, where if they die they are not counted as Florida deaths. Florida is not reporting deaths of people who do not normally live in Florida.

    It is probably several times higher. Either way, it certainly is not completely over, like Governor Death promised.

    Does anyone think Florida would help out NYC like NYC has helped out Florida?

    In the graph, they claim 57. In the chart, they claim 396. But you will believe anything that agrees with you.

    Thinking back on it, Mason does not seem to be a common name in the circles I run in. I cannot think of anyone I have ever known named Mason. I loved the TV show Perry Mason, is that what you are referring to?

    Lots of first hand experiences for me this week, as my Dad took a fall and I've had to navigate the health care system. What I can tell you is that the hospital he was admitted to has people IN THE HALLS because of this latest Covid outbreak. As a result, they are stretched incredibly thin. I was working with a care nurse to transition my Dad, and the next day, she had called in with Covid. They are stressed and overworked. Hospitalizations continue to climb, and deaths will follow, as this variant is just as severe as the original if you aren't vaxxed.

    In Florida, EVERY SINGLE COUNTY IN THE STATE has a rate of over 1,000 new cases per 100,000 residents. And that's just the confirmed positives. In some counties, the rate is over 2,000 per day. The average number of deaths REPORTED (Florida intentional lags their death reporting, dropping almost all deaths once a week) has quadrupled in two weeks from 17 to 67 a day, and is growing. In that same time period, hospitalizations have doubled, from 6,700 to almost 14,000.

    Despite wearing a mask and basically avoiding restaurants, bars, and other public places, I've got Covid again. It's a nuisance, especially given that I'm trying to manage my elderly parents, but the symptoms are very mild. Not so for the unvaxxed, who continue to strain Floridas healthcare system. The unvaxxed shoulder almost all of the blame for this completely unnecessary scenario. DeSantis does as well. And the morons who refuse to wear a mask (most people here in Florida) are of course contributing mightily to the issue.

    But go ahead and kiss DeSantis's ass and deny, deny, deny. Have fun in the ICU.

    For the week of 1/7 (Florida reports most of their deaths every Wednesday) there were 430 deaths reported, that's an average of 61 per day.

    Florida is making it as difficult as possible to get a firm grasp on the number of deaths, because it might tend to incriminate the Governor.

    DeSantis has been covering up his death rate and Covid numbers since '20. He jailed a staffer who refused to lie for him. He still hides the data, as you suggest.

    What you describe is happening across the nation. Nurses are leaving their hospital jobs and becoming 'travelers'. The pay is $200/hour plus a housing stipend, plus a meal stipend. Hospitals that are short staffed are being forced to pay these rates to these travelers.

    They are once again forced to wear N95s all day long. Their ears and faces have scars, not to mention the fumes they inhale when first putting on a new mask every morning. All nurses are testing positive, which forces them out of work for 5 days. As you mentioned, this worsens the staffing issues.

    Non Covid patients are going to die in Florida because of their moronic governor. And he will be easily re elected
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Thanks. My Dad is 100. He's had a heck of a run, but this fall has been a sea change for him, along with his acute CHF. He was living independently but I think that's over. He's in a rehab facility now and unfortunately I can't take my Mom to see him. Tough times on that front, but I'm pretty proud of the fact that we kept the two of them independent for this long. It hasn't been easy.

    Wow! Best of luck to you. My folks were the same way, it was hard when we had to put dad in a long term care facility. He only lasted two days after that. I truly believe he willed himself to death.
