CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner didn't mince words about the covid pandemic in Florida.

"It is so high in Florida that I think if Florida was another country, we would have to consider banning travel from Florida to the United States," he said.

"He needs to understand that he has painted himself into a corner. People are dying in Florida. It is going to get much worse."

"Harry, the doctor set it up asking the question, 'if Florida or Louisiana were foreign countries, would we ban travel?" John Berman asked.

"I mean this is bad. Florida, Louisiana, look at this. Worst of the entire pandemic in both Louisiana and Florida," Harry Enten said.

"Look at that per 100,000. Up to 100 per day. Look at this, hospitalizations. Same deal, look at this. Worst of the entire pandemic in both Louisiana and Florida. The only difference is Louisiana , Florida is worse than the other. But any way you look at it is bad. Compared to other countries, look at this. These are countries. The United Kingdom, France, Greece. The sickly have to wait 14 days after you've been in the country. Essentially a travel ban. Covid cases per 100,000, Louisiana +99. Florida +90. United Kingdom, only +40. Still really high but not nearly as high as Florida or Louisiana. Greece +25. These places, Louisiana and Florida and there are some other states in there as well, they are worse than places in which travelers are mostly bad."

1. "If Florida Was A Foreign Country,...."

we'd identify it as a shithole country.

3. We would have invaded by now.

4. And then, it would be a US territory. Perhaps, eventually, it could become a state.

5. Only if DeSantis could be extracted from his spider hole.

2. Who's stopping us?

State borders can be sealed via a governor’s use of their National Guard.

10. Yeah not with governor Dipshit at the helm...

6. We live in Delray Beach, FL.

My wife and I were expecting a visit from family in NY. We asked them to cancel for their own good. They did.

We have cancelled all plans involving restaurants, parties, and other outings.

We got Moderna shots seven months ago. I want boosters!

7. I'm in rural central Florida for a funeral.

I thought my home state of Georgia was bad in rural areas. Out here in the swamp, there are lots of trump and confederate flags, no masks, and I’m sure few vaxed locals.

8. Maybe Florida should be quarantined

Seems like public health common sense
(but a daunting logistical challenge)

9. I was offered a job remote for a FL

Company but it requires I go on site for 2 weeks orientation in Florida. Just sent reply back and rescinded my offer. No way am I going to that shit hole.

11. I Looked At The Chart For Florida

The slope representing the rate of increase is steeper than at any point in the pandemic, rivaled only by the 2 week spike last summer. (That was a long rate of increase period. The rest of it had a much shallower slope.)

12. Heckuva job, Ronnie. Heckuva job.

13. Hard on the economy, great for battling Covid.

The biggest reason the depraved Pubs in state government refuse controls is that sacrificing residents, and of course tourists, to keep the tourist dollars coming is a no-brainer for them.
