And climbing
The grim news from Florida continues: The state reported 15,000 new cases on Sunday. That breaks not only the record for a state in the US in a single day but is also more new cases than any European country has reported in a single day during the pandemic. Only the US, Brazil and India have reported more new cases in a day than Florida did on Sunday.
Yikes.
Florida’s population is 21.5 million. Germany’s is 83 million.
Hospitals are under strain in Florida as the virus surges, and the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has refused to introduce a statewide mandate requiring people to wear masks in public. He has also pushed for schools to reopen.
Fewer but better Floridians?
The Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump will be confirmed as the party’s candidate for president, is due to take place in Jacksonville, Florida, in late August.
Should be fine.
Be honest with me. Ten years ago, did you honestly believe this sentence could be written anywhere but the Onion? And not just once, but for a second election cycle?
We have definitely gone off the deep end.
I would have thought the onion had gone off the deep end, had they written that.
Well, except that ten years ago, I hadn’t even heard of the Donald.
Well, yeah. The Democrats are weaklings. The virus will kill them off in droves. Not so the Republicans. They are strong, healthy dudes, and will shrug it off. It’s just the flu to them.
Yes indeed. All of the above.
This has to be Divine Justice and a decision from on high. And anyway, all the signs are there! I bet Jesus Christ will be setting His Kingdom up next week, HQ at Mar-a-Lago, close to Trump’s golf course too.
Unrepentant sinners and leeberiles will get fed to the alligators, I betcha. With JC working for Trump, mask or no mask, what could possibly go wrong?
Ahem. This is a PSA: The specific monikers “The Don” and “The Donald” are already claimed by one Donald Bradman. They shall not be used for Donald Trump; he is merely a Donald.
Thank you.
But hey, at least Disney World is open again. I wonder if Spaceship Earth will be decorated to look like the coronavirus…
And I apparently am bad at typing in URLs on my tablet.
That link was supposed to be to this: https://slate.com/culture/2020/07/walt-disney-world-reopens-florida-coronavirus-welcome-home-video-inspires-parodies.html
I wish I could say the state I live in was actually doing better than Florida, though. Our governor’s response to spiking Covid-19 numbers was to forbid bars from serving alcohol … after 11PM.

Can you copy and paste URLs?
I live in Florida and I can confirm that, yes, we are a pro-death state. Well that and prison. But it’s not like we can’t have both.
