Today saw the largest number of deaths in Florida since the pandemic started.
Here are the facts around this absurd 'sky is falling because labs aren't reporting negatives' trope.
There are 3.3 million tests listed in the report. The top seven labs did half of those tests. None of them failed to report negatives, all of them had positive rates that are consistent with the overall rate of the report. In fact, the top 250 labs by volume all reported their negative results. Not until we reach a lab that reported less than 500 positives do we see a lab that failed to report negatives. The bulk of labs that did not report negatives had 1-3 tests total. The impact is negligible at best. It's a nothing burger. Maybe try actually trying to look at the report instead of the sensational journalism of some local station that wants a headline.

Neo-Nazis do not make "excellent" points, and when you quote them, you do not either.
Patients were sent to nursing homes and hospitals that had quarantine facilities. Were those quarantine facilities perfect? No, but they were pretty good. (I will get back to that point in the next paragraph). We cannot dump patients on the sidewalk, so we take them into medical facilities.
There was a high death toll in nursing homes, but that was mostly not because of known Covid-19 patients. We can expect a large death toll in nursing homes, because they are old and sick. Add to that American nursing home employees will often travel between nursing homes. We have no way of stopping them from spreading Covid-19 from one nursing home to another, because the state has no power over their traveling.
There were actually very few failures in quarantining known Covid-19 patients.
I know that on some Neo-Nazi website, you heard that the "billions" of deaths were caused by the Jews in "Jew York", but that is simply not true. It is just an excuse to try to implement genocide.
Florida has 10% more people than New York State, and 10,000% more deaths.
Taiwan has more people than either state, and has had only 7 deaths so far.
Young people are doing most of the spreading, and older people are doing most of the dying. You give a bunch of young people the disease, and they will spread it to a bunch of old people.
If this all means nothing to you, as you are claiming, maybe you should stop posting, because you are not intelligent enough to follow simple arguments.
You are using the past tense for something that is ongoing, which is your first mistake. A plague hits the international hubs first, and then spreads to the spokes. Obviously, New York City is the center of the modern world, so was hit first.
What should have happened was Florida, Georgia, Texas, etc. should have learned from what New York did (the good and the bad), and be doing much better. Instead, they have hoped for a miracle, and refused to put in the hard work.
This is bouncing back on the rest of the country. Places like California and New York cannot keep out the Red State pandemic failure.
7 dead in Taiwan. It just shows you we could have done better.
We spent weeks with trump supporters cheering the deaths in "Jew York", and now that the pandemic has turned towards them, we learn they did nothing to prepare.
Postmodern posted that a week ago. Since then New York went up by by 9 to 1,672, and Florida went up by 31 to 218. The numbers in New York are staying low, but the numbers in Florida are rising.
Not to mention that per capita has nothing to do with density. Siberia has almost 1000 times more people than Monaco, but Monaco has almost a 1000 times more population density. We would expect a pandemic to rip through Monaco much quicker than Siberia, and that would be even worse on a per capita basis.
I am looking at the success rate of San Francisco, and thinking how tightly it is linked in both culture and economics to China. Then I am looking at Georgia, not known for its large numbers of Chinese Americans, or its tight links to the iPhone supply chain.
Or I am thinking of mask use, or even attempts to contact trace. Much of reich wing "precautions" have involved hoping for a miracle.
If a vaccine ever becomes available, it will almost certainly come from well educated left wingers. I really do not see much hope of high school dropouts developing a vaccine.
The reich wing has bought a lot of guns. I have never heard of a gun killing a virus.
Once again, a moderate or liberal posted factual information, while the so called "conservatives" ranted nonsense.
Smallpox was eliminated through hard work by thee WHO. For all of human history before then, it spread. It did not disappear because of natural herd immunity.

The "conservatives" you mentioned aren't conservatives. They are Alt-Right Party of Trump cultists. A conservative acknowledges science. Fact over opinion. They sure as shit don't advocate ignoring a pandemic as a "hoax". If they do, they aren't conservatives, they're idiots.
