    TOPLINE Florida reported its biggest jump in coronavirus cases in over a week on Tuesday and testing positivity rates are now on the rise statewide, signaling a possible ramping up of coronavirus spread as health experts are concerned that the reopening of bars and restaurants at 100% capacity could fuel a new outbreak.

      Florida reported a spike in new coronavirus cases Tuesday, just days after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order allowing restaurants and bars to operate at full capacity.

      New cases surged to 3,266 from the 738 reported Monday, according to the state's health department. That's the highest one-day number since September 19.

        Lots of restaurants are still maintaining the 50% capacity do to slow business and safety. Major theme parks are still operating at reduced capacity.

        There's more but don't want to overload you with Facts.

        Enjoy
        that's not true here in NC. BTW Pooper is a Democrat.

          I'm sure those cases that can be pinned on BARS, can be proven that: Social Distancing was not adhered to. I bet that they weren't wearing masks.

          Gov't can pass ALL the stupid rules they want to.. but HOW many are willing to follow the guidelines. Talking to college kids I meet, they tell me they REFUSE to SD and they say " How the hell can I drink with a F'in mask on? Are you for real? "

          so you can blame it all on Trump, but any logical thinking person knows Gov't write laws... people break them if they feel they are stupid laws.

            Talked with a relative who lives down in Florida, and he was absolutely ecstatic that they are in full reopening mode!

            Up to half of bars and restaurants in New York City may be forced to close permanently
            costing the city more than 150,000 jobs, according to the New York Post.

            What a shame.
            Here in the peoples communist state of California our grand and glorious dictator Nuke 'em decides which counties get to start opening back up and when. He has set a number of guidelines that we the pissed on must meet in order to advance to the different levels of shutdown. Those include number of new cases each week and total number of active cases, both as a % of county population, hospital and ICU bed utilization %. Kern County has met those standards for over a month but News Cum has decided that he doesn't like our numbers and has artificially inflated them. New Scum claims that Kern County's number of new tests each are below the state average

            BTW our Imperious state leader is a Democrat. Kern County is one of the few conservative Republican counties. My Congressman is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. We have the most issued CCW permits of any county in California. Combined with Fresno county we have more than the rest of the state combined.

              In western Australia we are fully open.

              Just hard borders and 2 week hotel quarantine.

              No active cases just ones in hotel quarantine.

              Don't see why other states struggled to do the same.

                Australia population density is 3.6 per square mile

                For perspective sake

                Florida is 363 per square mile

                NY is 27,000 per square mile

                Alaska is 1.7 per square mile.


                Population density has something to do with it. The denser it is, the harder it is.

                  Trump and first lady take coronavirus tests after top aide Hope Hicks tests positive for Covid-19


                  President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday night that top aide Hope Hicks has tested positive for coronavirus and said he and first lady Melania Trump were tested Thursday evening.


                  "She did test positive, I just heard about this. She tested positive. She's a hard worker. Lot of masks, she wears masks a lot but she tested positive. Then I just went out with a test. I'll see -- you know, because we spent a lot of time -- and the first lady just went out with a test also. So whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don't know," Trump said during a call-in appearance on Fox News' "Hannity."
                  He added, "I just went for a test and we'll see what happens, I mean, who knows. ... I spent a lot of time with Hope and so does the first lady, and she's tremendous."

                      And here's the dilemma. This guy lies so much how do you know when he is telling the truth? Does he really have covid, or is he simply looking for more attention?

                          I want to commend everyone here for NOT jumping on the " I hope Trump dies " bandwagon like the people in the media et al. Even though we may throw jabs... quips.. words at each other, to stoop to 'wishing' he would die is a really really sick idea.

                          Again thanks to ALL for not going down that road. It just proves that even though we don't agree with one another, we aren't the animals that have been displayed in the MSM.

                          Even though I didn't agree with Obama, I never had that much hate in my heart nor head to spew those words.

                          I commend each and everyone of you for that!.

                                Trump knew he had been exposed to Covid and continued to carry on as normal. Very presidential!! Possibly infecting many others. It's one thing to deny the danger yourself, but to put others health in jeopardy is inexcusable.
