I hope Desantis doesn’t cave

The media is having a field day pushing the fear porn about delta variant and they want to take Florida down. You would never know the actual survival rate listening to these morons in the media.

The media is a lying bully and he knows it. As far as I'm concerned the 'delta' is a lie as well. I don't expect him to fall for it.

All credibility was lost with me when they demonized lockdown protestors but had no problem with Floyd protests.

Well, I'm glad you showed up, but you've been lied to for a lot longer than that

As far as I'm concerned the 'delta' is a lie as well.

"Delta", as a concept in the sense of "SUPER MAXIMUM BLACK PLAGUE DEATH EBOLA MK II ELECTRIC BOOGALOO", is complete and utter bullshit. Delta as a concept of "oh, look, the virus has multiple strains, as does almost every virus on the planet, and similar to influenza can bypass vaccines tailored for one specific subspecies" is a real thing.

But, no, everyone should just consoom booster shot, consoom product, and shit themselves in fear in their homes like good little boysheeps and girlsheeps.

I bet much of the new cases are really false positives. PCR tests with a cycle threshold value of 35 only have an accuracy rate of 3%.

There was some directive that went out that set new regs on the cycles, it was either the CDC or WHO.

Most Floridians stopped giving a fuck, about half the people I see in Liberal as hell Orlando aren't wearing any masks.

The main pple masking are those people that look new to florida or kept the Northerness... We have like over a thousand Northerners moving here every day, these people are masking up.

But the people who adapted to the Florida wildness, yea... They ain't masking.

That explains the rental websites having almost entirely scammers.

Did we learn nothing from Trump and Jan. 6? Of course he will cave. He cannot stand against the progressives and communists alone. There are no elites to back him up. The people do not back him. He will get on his knees eventually.

I think the dynamics are a bit different, which might mean a different result. Floridians are broadly happy, people are moving to Florida, and his stand in Florida doesn't directly prevent them from implementing their crap everywhere else. They can use him as their kayfabe Heel, so there is less need to utterly destroy him.

If large wing states start to get on his side, they'll up the pressure, but he'll also have some backup from those other governors. If only small and deep red states are on his side, it's not enough opposition for them to care.

I just don't understand how people still fall for the fearmongering. It's been a year and a half, nobody has ever been dropping in the streets, there were no overrun hospitals, all we got was a bunch of nurses twerking. I honestly thought people would get sick of this shit last summer, and here we are a year later, getting ready for a third dose while remaining masked and locked down. I hear New York banned indoor dining again. Jesus.

Agreed. Especially after you clearly saw how there was a double standard. And nobody was dropping in the streets. It’s going to take a large enough group to just flat out ignore the hysteria

Not caving is so easy, even an evil scumbag like Cuomo can do it. You just have to ignore the media and push through like Trump did.

I'd love to see some statistics. I'm being told it's killing everyone by all sorts of friends. Some of whom live in these areas and suddenly their entire office has it.

Did the entire office die?

Nah, they're all working from home now. But it's made my friends hyper against just treating it passively

If he does then Abbott will too and I don't want that. I'm not sure about Florida but around my area no one seems to care. I haven't been in a place that's majority masked in two months now. All the scare propaganda is full force, they are still choosing not to wear masks. What more indicator could there be as to what the people actually want?

I’m in Texas and luckily only a few in my area have been bitten by the “hysteria bug”

I feel like new variants will roll out and the media will treat it like the zombie apocalypse. If anything it shows how being healthier can help you avoid sickness

The Air Blue variant will charge for a seat.
