I'd guess he's a Dem Party operative. They have to start the slandering of Desantis as fast as they can, in case he's the Republican nominee for 2024. Same with Abbott of Texas. Watch Lesh take after him next. It's all phony.Oh gawd you desantis haters try to spin so much shit. Florida isn't like other states. We have all the snow birds that live here part time making our population higher. We also have illegals from all over living here not officially counted. And then we have most of the old people----far more susceptible to covid deaths so once the they are accounted for...Florida is like number 24 in the nation for covid deaths.
She responded to Cruz by saying that when comparing states, it’s important to look at age-adjusted death rates, which control for differences in a population’s age distribution. When looking at all COVID-19 deaths in the state, the age-adjusted mortality rate per 100,000 has Florida ranked 24th in the nation. The New York Times analysis places Florida’s overall death rate as the 10th highest in the nation.
“So, unfortunately, we have lost lives in Florida due to COVID-19,” Jordan said. “But … our age-adjusted mortality rates are lower than the national mortality rates and lower than many of the other states that have implemented stricter business closures and other mitigation strategies.”
Florida’s COVID-19 death rate is still among the highest in the nation
The state has seen its cases and hospitalizations decline, but an analysis from the New York Times finds Florida's deaths per 100,000 are third highest in the country over the past seven days.health.wusf.usf.edu
