REPUBLICAN LED STATES HIGHER COVID AND DEATH RATES

States with Democratic governors had the highest incidence and death rates from Covid-19 in the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, but states with Republican governors surpassed those rates as the crisis dragged on, a study released Tuesday found.

“From March to early June, Republican-led states had lower Covid-19 incidence rates compared with Democratic-led states. On June 3, the association reversed, and Republican-led states had higher incidence,” the study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Medical University of South Carolina showed.

“For death rates, Republican-led states had lower rates early in the pandemic, but higher rates from July 4 through mid-December,” the study found.

FLORIDA has had mediocre rates recently and there are complaints that all of the vaccines are not being allocated by the state, or are being directed to friends of Governor DeSantis.

COVID-19 Vaccine Administration: Florida and City of Coral Gables

We know the organization and access to vaccines is chaotic in Florida.  There is political manipulation of the vaccine allocations by state authorities.

I urge that the City of Coral Gables be especially careful and open in managing any vaccines acquired, being transparent and fair.

Also, the City of Coral Gables should regularly publish vaccine information, the number obtained and assignments.
