Record-breaking coronavirus rates can’t stop these partiers from continuing to rage.

Despite surging COVID-19 cases, Florida beaches were packed with maskless revelers over New Year’s weekend. Photos of Fort Lauderdale Beach show nary a face covering and many a bikini as people continued to party despite the ongoing pandemic.

On Jan. 3 at Miami’s Fontainebleau pool area, heavy daytime partying was photographed despite the state’s coronavirus dashboard reporting another 10,603 cases that day — the fifth consecutive day it reported more than 10,000 cases.

Unlike “cases”, “infections” doesn’t generate the Covid-Cootie “Boom!” the media must continually generate to maintain the elevated level of increasingly irrational fear.

Oddly, 300+ million American are NOT dead or infected. Weird huh?

They would have to be the New Yorkers if they were at the beach in bikinis. Real Floridians have been wearing sweatshirts as temperatures plummeted below 70 degrees for much of the last month.

If the governors are too inept to get the vaccine out to people, then the next best way to achieve herd immunity is to allow people to be free.

Why is it “alarming”? This is the flu season and Covid is a flu. These the the same people who think that the actions of puny humans can alter the climate. It’s bad enough when our overlords think they are smarter than the voters who elected them, but it’s beyond hubris for them to think they can control the actions of God (or mother nature if that’s your belief).

If the Democrat thieves can get you to ignore your senses, then they can steal you blind.

Cases, cases, cases. How many sick? On ventilators? Dying? Hospitalized? No flu this year? Amazing!

The only problem that I have with this is that I haven’t yet gotten my invitation!

Living here in Florida, this is what the media is not telling you....

The average age of the people testing positive is getting younger, the least vulnerable age group according the CDC statistics....

The hospitals are not overrun, sure a few in major metropolitan areas might be at capacity but surge capacity is available.

The vaccine is getting rolled out on a daily basis, the front line hospital workers have been vaccinated, at least the ones who are willing to take the shots...

Walgreens and CVS pharmacies are vaccinating people in the assisted care facilities.

By the end of the week in Jacksonville, we will have multiple vaccination sites up and running some already are operating...one in particular is vaccinating 900 people a day....

So despite the doomsday predictions, we are doing just fine here in Florida....

Yep.
Florida is still mostly free.
Except at Walmart and few other places that require face panties.
Thank you Governor DeSantis for not effing things up like Cuomo, Whitmer, and Newsom.

“Asymptomatic” case = False positive

“...and many a bikini as people continued to party despite the ongoing pandemic...”

Why can’t women be responsible and wear one piece bathing suits? SCIENCE says they are less likely to transmit COVID in a one piece.
