Seems like this is a daily occurrence. These numbers are rapidly approaching New York's numbers, where they saw 12K cases in a single day at their peak.

Highlights from the report

-8,942 confirmed positive cases
-13.05% positivity rate
-71K tests performed yesterday (which will continue to rise as Floridians rush to get themselves tested in light of these crazy numbers)

Scary! It's just gonna get worse and worse with DeSantis in charge.

 

[SpottieO]

Soooo about the RNC...

 

[New Donker]

How is this going to be spun? Especially with that positivity percentage

 

[Snake Eater]

And pro wrestling shows are still happening weekly in Florida...

 

[KtotheRoc]

I think a "Holy shit" sums it up.

4th of July is going to be an absolute Atom Bomb of virus spread..

Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide.

The department that issues Liquor License in the state just tweeted this out. Agencies doing what Desantis won't. idk if this is a fancy way of saying "Bars are now closed." But I wouldn't be surprised if individual sectors start cracking down now with today's cases.

That's super sad and scary AF.

2.5 more years of this fuckstick. I feel like he might win reelection as well, cause our voters are fucking idiots.

Didn't you hear? It's the dang hispanic migrant workers causing all of this. Certainly couldn't be the bars packed shoulder to shoulder or no required mask ordinances until just this week.

 

[jelly]

Christ.

Florida voting blue next election?

 

[Magic-Man]

My moms friend might have fucking given us COVID the other day. We're waiting on test results from my mom and grandma right now.

 

[Servbot24]

Jesus. Looks like yesterday was the worst day yet for the USA in general.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Fuck sake man

 

[Temascos]

Holy shit that is bad, such a self-inflicted wound as well. If they had been patient and waited a month or so more with stricter rules on distancing and masks they probably would have had a lot more confidence in opening things back up.

But nope, in their bid to sacrifice people to save the economy, they will like kill the economy too. Nobody's gonna buy shit if they're dead.

 

[TheRightDeal]

Seeing these threads on this forum go from 4,000, to 6,000, to now nearly 9,000 is such a short amount of time is truly terrifying.

"I don't know anyone personally who got it"

"in a way, you're the one who has it if you think about it"

"you see my son hector..."

it's sadly very easy to spin this :(

Yeah it's ridiculous, people don't realize that it's the reverse. They not testing more cause they want to, it's cause they had to. Florida did almost 80K test on May 19, yet their positive rate was less than 1%.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I think I got it here in FL.
Awaiting test results.

Fortunately nothing more than a fever.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Dead tired of winning

 

[BobLoblaw]

Florida should officially be called the "Hold My Beer" state.

They seem to have stopped trying to spin it. They admit in public that things are horrible right now. They are just still in personal responsibility mode. That won't last much longer.

The NBA season is not happening.

And Disney is opening in 2 weeks.....

 

[RailWays]

Ridiculous numbers, this state needs to close again.

 

[The Driver]

This self imposed L that this country is taking cuz it thought it was bigger than a pandemic is just dumbfounding, like watching someone walk into traffic.

The can spin and spin all they want. They are headed in the same direction as NYC. You can't hid dead bodies and full icu's. Shit is going to hit the fan hard. You don't get these many infections to go away by doing nothing.

 

[Bear]

I don't know how this guy is going to continue to try to spin this. Really hoping Disney reconsiders opening or it's going to get a lot worse very quickly.

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

Jesus hell.

Just imagine if this country had done a real quarantine from the start. We probably could've been done with this for two months already.

 

[fontguy]

Imagine dousing yourself in gasoline and lighting yourself on fire for Trump and capitalism.

 

[Silly Buck]

1/3 of Ontarios numbers from the start of covid... in one day.

This is the part that gets me angry. Could've been contained if we'd been proactive.

Disney is not opening. I wouldn't trust a word of PR out of the company saying they still plan on opening. Their hand will be forced

Damn that's more than double what germany had in a week

 

[Kinggroin]

As much as I wanna lay blame at DeSantis' feet, as a Floridian, living here in this shit hole, a metric ton of the people living here simply don't give a shit.

Shut it the fuck down.

Desantis should be in prison.

The country should've went to as close to a shut down in March. I had literally bought a mask in February because I knew what was coming.

Shit man. Hot tea, sleeping on my stomach, and cough drops helped mitigate my symptoms and made it slightly more bearable.

I've got a dumb ass co worker vacationing down there right now. I'm going to refuse to work anywhere near them for the next month.
