She addressed it in several tweets yesterday

He’s taking a few days off for the holidays, like many others. Same as other state workers

Young kids and a sick wife, yet he’s been going to his capital office, having meetings and doing his job

His schedule is public and the media gets daily updates

This is Fake News

...... Hmmmm ..... Truth is that Desantis is not missing from action ..... All the media has to do is actually get off of their collective @sses and go to the Governors Web Page and read his Schedule .... It’s pretty much been Business as Normal .... No controversy ... Just Lazy Media Outlets that sit around waiting to get their talking points from their Overlords ...

This Ian Hodgson?

“My title is “data reporter” but my job is to tell stories. I cover health and the environment, two topics that go hand-in-hand now more than ever. I’m a math nerd, a PhD dropout and before joining the Times I worked in economics and finance. I’ve lived in Vancouver, Chicago and New York, so I’m ready to never go through another cold winter. When I’m not reporting you can find me watching the Cubbies or struggling through on the NYT crossword. Let’s grab a coffee and talk about story ideas.”

Yes....a real FLORIDIAN in the know...

100’s,of 1000’s of people have died under biden’s faux presidency, way more than under Trump, and Biden is on vacation, but the left don’t care about that, all they can focus on is that florida has covid cases, znd root for ,ots of deaths in Florida from covid so,that they can score political points and try to undermine the man they are most afraid of

Florida is still way down on the death counts even though Ron didn’t enforce asinine lockdown measures, znd the left can’t stand that he handled it right while,their states failed miserably with their asinine business destroying lockdowns

On fire from what?

Can’t be covid because that’s all BS anyway unless you’re acovid cultist in which case you’re already dumbfounded that the majority of all these new cases are in the single, double triple vaxxed but not enough people are dying to warrant the 4th, 5th, 6th etc boosters and there’s no reason to wear a mask but yet you still feel the need for that security blanket.

Indeed. Possibly infected illegals for whom the cannot vaccinate because they are not part of the immunity for pharma blanket indemnity determination by government. IOW, they could sue the pants off Pharma in a world court if adversely affected. THAT’S WHY THEY DON’T JAB THEM....

Florida has more cases, but very few deaths.

Florida is among the top three states in death rate since vaccinations became available. Also it is an outlier because other states with the same vaccination rate as Florida have a much lower death rate.

Where is the vaxx data? Why not put out the vaxx success or failures out there. This data is important for people to make decisions on their body, very important. The vaxx will be a millstone for many in the years to come.

Seems that the media are unable to report that most of the recent deaths due to the virus are democrats that recently moved here from the northeast.

Not to mention if these illegals are running around infecting the rest of us the virus stays alive.....thus ensuring these draconian mandates and restrictions stay in place.

It’s all about power and control and very well may have never been about our safety, health and well-being.

I’m here too and most of what I’ve seen/heard is the media trying to freak everyone out about the huge lines at the testing sites.

Florida has more cases, but very few deaths.

True. But not as many cases per 1,000 as New York. And almost all states have a higher death rate. I guess that's why Brandon is pressuring medical companies to cut off the monoclonal antibody treatments the state bought.
