Fox News<\/a> posted an article today that included the statistics on coronavirus cases in California and Florida. California has mask mandates and other mandates impacting the freedom of the unvaccinated. Florida has no mask mandates and has pretty much been open since the original ‘two weeks to slow the spread.’<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Watcher (Dr. Bob Wachter, chair of the medical department at the University of California-San Francisco) added that with low booster shot rates and waning immunity, “the end result is that we\u2019ve plateaued in our improvements, both nationally and in California, and it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll soon see some significant upticks.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“California has done very well over the past few months, but we still have too many unvaccinated people,” he added. “People are spending more time inside and being more active, and masking is going down.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Florida, meanwhile, hit another new benchmark last week. The first hospital in the state to treat a COVID patient last year, Doctor\u2019s Hospital, announced that for the first time since the pandemic, it has no virus patients in its care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is great news! For two weeks and counting, Florida has had the lowest rate of new COVID-19 cases in the entire country \u2013 with no mandates, vaccine passports, or lockdowns. Overall, COVID hospitalizations have been declining for more than 70 days straight, and we\u2019re at an all time low in terms of the number of COVID patients hospitalized statewide,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, told Fox News on Monday when asked for comment about Doctor’s Hospital in Sarasota.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also notes:<\/p>\n

Cases in California are no longer falling, with the rate increasing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s red “high” level of virus transmission stemming from the delta variant, the outlet reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Southern states such as Texas and Florida \u2013 where state leaders do not enforce face mask policies or support other strict mandates \u2013 are in the CDC\u2019s orange “substantial” transmission level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

California\u2019s vaccination rate is higher than states such as Texas and Florida, but that still hasn\u2019t stopped the outbreaks. Sixty-two percent of California\u2019s total population is fully vaccinated, while Florida reports 60% and Texas 54%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it’s time to rethink the ‘science.’<\/p>\n
