For the first time I can appreciate what Malthus believed, that population may exceed it’s ability to provide and some need to be lost, with our thoughts and prayers, he was a clergyman. I vote for the Dakotas, Alabama and Texas to be the first antivax/science sanctuary states.
Florida, Georgia and Tennessee are next. I want to give them my most sincere thoughts and prayers for what they ask for.
Florida has a state vaccination rate of 49.0%.....higher than other states that include: - Illinois
- Ohio
- Michigan
- North Carolina
- Arizona
- Indiana
- Missouri
- South Carolina
- Utah
- Nevada
- Kansas....and several others, including the ones you noted.
California's state vax rate is 53%, not nearly as high as it should be. Florida gets a bad rap because the media loves to pile on when everyone comes down here for vacation (the super spreading spring breakers). 3 counties make up the majority of the population in Florida: Palm Beach, Broward and Dade. All in south Florida. Of course you have other large cities like Tampa and Orlando (even Jacksonville).
I think Florida is getting hit a little harder by the media because the gov down there is likely the strongest candidate to be the next president so they are already starting team blues anti campaign.

I think Florida is getting media attention because it's been deemed the epicenter of the new outbreak, with one in five of every new case across the US coming from Florida.

Yep, right now, for sure. Lots of unvaccinated people under 40 running around down here. My point being Florida doesn't deserve all the shit they get, they are a favorite whipping boy in the media. But its July/August in Florida and people are everywhere. The mask mandates will be returning.

It will ebb and flow, Florida will drop and it will explode elsewhere just like last year with alpha. If DeSantis wore a blue tie the media would be nearly as focused and likely would be making excuses.
Florida breaks record for COVID-19 hospitalizations By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated PressAugust 1, 2021 — 4:40pm
ORLANDO, Fla. — A day after it recorded the most new daily cases since the start of the pandemic, Florida on Sunday broke a previous record for current hospitalizations set more than a year ago before vaccines were available.
The Sunshine State had 10,207 people hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to data reported to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
The previous record was from July 23, 2020, more than a half-year before vaccinations started becoming widespread, when Florida had 10,170 hospitalizations, according to the Florida Hospital Association.
Florida is now leading the nation in per capita hospitalizations for COVID-19, as hospitals around the state report having to put emergency room visitors in beds in hallways and others document a noticeable drop in the age of patients.
In the past week, Florida has averaged 1,525 adult hospitalizations a day, and 35 daily pediatric hospitalizations. Both are the highest per capita rate in the nation, according to Jason Salemi, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of South Florida.
The hospitalizations and increasing cases have come as the new, more transmittable delta variant has spread throughout Florida, and residents have returned to pre-pandemic activities.
"The recent rise is both striking and not-at-all surprising," Salemi said in an email late Saturday.
Federal health data released Saturday showed that Florida reported 21,683 new cases of COVID-19, the state's highest one-day total since the start of the pandemic. The latest numbers were recorded on Friday and released on Saturday on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website. The figures show how quickly the number of cases is rising in the Sunshine State: only a day earlier, Florida reported 17,093 new daily cases.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has resisted mandatory mask mandates and vaccine requirements, and along with the state Legislature, has limited local officials' ability to impose restrictions meant to stop the spread of COVID-19. DeSantis on Friday barred school districts from requiring students to wear masks when classes resume next month.

....and keep this in mind: Miami-Dade county has a vaccination rate of 79%.....and they are still getting cases. 97% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated. Mind blowing.
Less than 1% of fully vaccinated people experience a breakthrough Covid-19 infection, analysis finds
Less than 1% of fully vaccinated people experienced a breakthrough infection, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of official state data.
The federal government only reports data on breakthrough infections that result in hospitalization or death.
According to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than 0.004% of people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 experienced a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization, and less than 0.001% have died from the disease. That’s about 6,600 severe breakthrough cases out of more than 163 million fully vaccinated people.
But the KFF analysis shows that breakthrough infections of any kind are also extremely rare.
About half of states report data on Covid-19 breakthrough cases, and in each of those states, less than 1% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough infection, ranging from 0.01% in Connecticut to 0.9% in Oklahoma.
Also, more than 90% of cases – and more than 95% of hospitalizations and deaths – have been among unvaccinated people, according to the KFF analysis. In most states, more than 98% of cases were among the unvaccinated.
