Florida Becoming New Coronavirus Epicenter As Death Toll Passes 4,000 | TODAY

[SuperRmalta]

I have a sister in Florida. Very concerned. Please listen to the doctors and scientists, not the politicians.

[SKai]

i love how people had just been dismissing covid as "harmless" to normal people. You're still getting sick bro, and there's always the possibility of an untimely and unnecessary death, or complications that'll make your life miserable

Literally trying so hard to make their money = Disney

[doofy]

Disney is social distancing (shows crowds inches away and touching).

[InktoEcho]

GEE, I WONDER WHY IT’S ALL OF THE STATES THAT REOPENED EARLY

[Masokitsu]

I live in the Florida cesspool, staying inside like a hermit.

[bigbearcrouse]

But look at the bright side....Disney is opened.

[militustoica]

Click if you saw this coming as soon as they opened the beaches.

I've never understood why the Florida License Plate slogan is The Sunshine State. It obviously should read the F Upped State. The US has some seriously messed up states, but Florida could win the Academy Award for the most poorly run.

I don’t know why they bother taking temperatures. 1). More than 60% of those infected have no fever. 2) fevers are never continuous 3). Tylenol or ibuprofen normalizes fevers.
And if fever present, often likely related to another type of infection like UTI, bronchitis, skin infections etc etc etc.

I’m from Miami, I live in davie, and believe me I’ve seen my home towns quality of people deteriorate over the past decade. In other words there are so many ignorant, entitled, disrespectful people down here that it doesn’t surprise I’m not sure, I’ll leave that up to the comment section. But it definitely has something to do with not being able to stabilize the COVID cases.

Florida is past the point of no return. We've just given up. Dig mass graves.

[perfectcell]

92% hospital capacity but Gov santis say Florida is ok🤦🏽‍♂️

[pielcanela]

Its an arrogant state because of its arrogant governor. He said he has 6, 000 ventilators sitting idle he don't need help from NY. He opened up in a hurry and without consideration to the fact that social distancing (6ft apart) and mask wearing isn't going to work with everyone in Fl so why open up places to socialize in/at?? Bars, restaurants, gyms, salon and especially beaches are non essential and could have waited for stage 3 and 4 of opening. First get the state safe enough so family could work to survive not the other way around. So those that was in a hungry hurry to open up is eating raw meat now and businesses are going to hurt worse than before. "There is no going back to normal we can only go forward with fortitude and caution in unison" OG

Disney World and Universal: We're open and we're gonna stay open!!
COVID: Hold my tequilla

[misterlunity]

I still remember how they celebrated in Florida because they had a “success”

Funny stormtrooper suddenly become the safer job with their "PPE"

That’s 21, 000 deaths in the last 30 days in America — thanks to Donald Trump’s catastrophic indifference to a lethal pandemic.
But the worst is yet to come.

[BigPlusPoint]

"Seasonally less staff now!" I'm so disappointed, its not even optimism, the curtain has fallen and the expectation for truth is a science fictional concept.

[Oridginale]

Coronavirus in Disney World: “Wow, this truly is the happiest place on Earth. I can really see myself growing and expanding here. Governor DeSantis has me on a long leash and I intend to take full advantage.”
