DeSantis is a fool.

Amen. He made a fool of himself by declaring victory in Trumpian manner, railing against those naysayers. Now we are at the epicenter of the outbreak. And in the next couple of weeks, the NBA will come to Orlando for the playoffs, Disney World will be re-opening, and Trump is coming for his coronation. I'm in Jax, in our county today we SMASHED the previous of high of about 400 cases. Today we had over 700. Jacksonville finally made mask wearing mandatory on Monday. Meanwhile, DeSantis continues to talk nonsense.

No. I have explained this to you three times. I could reach a two year old child with fewer attempts. There are tests, and there are confirmed cases. They are not the same. There were 10,000 confirmed cases in Florida today.

Florida is still below the national average in terms of infections per million people. Their testing rate is just below the national average, but they've been improving it over time.

So what? The national average is skewed completely by the outbreak in New York. New York today had 764 new cases, and Florida had over 10,000. So Florida is better off? LOL at you.

Even if we leave out New York, they're still below the national average.

Do you have a point? Are you saying 10,000 new cases in Florida is no big deal?

I'm saying some of the rise in cases can be attributed to increased testing. To put things in perspective, Tennessee currently has a higher infection rate than North Carolina, but it also has a substantially higher testing rate. Since the infection rate is already close between these states, it can logically be assumed that if NC increased its testing rate to match Tennessee, it would have a higher infection rate recorded.

With Florida, you can make a similar comparison between them and say... Pennsylvania. Florida has a higher infection rate than PA, but it also has a higher testing rate. So, if PA increased its testing rate to match that of Florida, it would likely have a higher infection rate recorded.

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.
