Can Governor DeSantis @govrondesantis Count? Masking Needed Urgently Too

So far, Florida has administered about 1.2 million of the 2.5 million doses it has received, according to state and federal trackers. Florida health authorities told lawmakers recently the rollout has been stymied by problems with supply and distribution. Florida hospital systems including Cleveland Clinic Florida and Baptist Health this week ceased making appointments for future vaccinations, citing insufficient doses. With vaccines rolling out at a relative trickle, and Florida approaching a COVID death toll of 25,000, Hannan said Florida and all states must redouble emphasis on the basics of wearing masks, safe distancing, and cleanliness, while doing their best to administer the available vaccines under difficult circumstances.

COVID RESPONSE AND MANAGEMENT IS NOW IN CRISIS: The Nation and Florida

The Governor of Florida says that all he needs is more vaccine. Of course, the outgoing Federal government failed to supply, organize, distribute and create mechanisms for large-scale vaccination in a short time. The Governor of Florida has tried to go his own way and we don’t know how much vaccine is distributed fairly: it seems to have been made up all the way by Governor DeSantis.

FL HAS UK COVID VARIANT

Even with relatively scant monitoring for evolved strains of the virus, known as “variants,” federal officials say Florida now leads the country in known cases of the so-called “U.K. variant,” or B.1.1.7, with 46, according to new data released Monday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s up from 22 known cases last week. California has the next highest number, with 40 known cases.
