Covid third wave: Florida surpasses all-time record for hospital admissions
The number of Covid patients in Florida hospitals has risen to a new high, breaking records set during previous waves before vaccines were available.
US health officials say 11,515 Florida residents are currently in hospital. Many are younger and healthier than patients seen earlier in the pandemic.
On Saturday, Florida set a record for most new infections in a single day.
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis opposes efforts to make vaccines or masks mandatory.

That is all.
Hospital CEOs are letting him have it. 99% of new Covid cases are unvaccinated and the people are way younger than the earlier patients.

We're pleading with them to cancel.
Who is to blame for the continuance of the pandemic in Florida? I say DeSantis and unvaccinated/non-masked people.
