TALLAHASSEE — A report released Thursday by AARP shows that Florida had the nation’s highest percentage of nursing homes reporting new COVID-19 infections among staff members during a four-week period in June and July.

The Florida facilities also had the second-lowest worker vaccination rate in the nation.

In addition, the AARP report showed that Florida lagged in vaccinating nursing home residents, with 73 percent of residents considered fully vaccinated. Nationally, 81.7 percent of nursing home residents were fully vaccinated.

Forty percent of the state’s nursing homes reported COVID-19 cases among staff members during the four-week period. With just 45.1 percent of long-term care staff vaccinated, Florida was well behind the 60.4 percent national average.

1. Florida has long been called God's Waiting Room

The name should be changed to Heaven's doorknocker or Heaven's doorbell.

2. Frankly, that's just immoral.

Shame on anyone who works in a nursing home and refuses the vaccine. Disgusting.

(Rhetorical question; I know it's DeSatan's strategy to murder as many Floridians as possible).
