Florida breaks record for COVID-19 hospitalizations... again. About 95% of those hospitalized and almost all recent deaths have been among the unvaccinated - the Florida counties with the lowest vaccination rates and some of the highest per-capita hospitalizations are heavily Republican. Per CBC:
With the much more contagious delta variant now spreading exponentially, Florida had 11,515 hospitalized patients Tuesday, breaking last year's record for the third straight day. Hospitalizations have increased 11 times over the 1,000 COVID patients hospitalized in mid-June. About 2,400 patients are now in intensive care.
We are not shutting down. We are going to have schools open. We are protecting every Floridian's job in this state. We are protecting people's small businesses. These interventions have failed time and time again throughout this pandemic, not just in the United States but abroad. They have not stopped the spread, particularly with delta.
