those numbers don't really work

Florida Demographics
According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Florida was:

White: 75.12%
Black or African American: 16.07%
Other race: 2.99%
Two or more races: 2.74%
Asian: 2.73%
Native American: 0.28%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.06%

Kinda weird they don't break down Latio in this?  when it says somewhere else that Florida: 5.66 million Latinos
Florida Population 2021
21,944,577

So that would make latino 25%



Wonder what the breakdown is of those 12k cases reported?

The census has separated the question of Hispanic/Latino/Chicano from the actual race question since the 1930 census at the request of some mexican interest groups.

Question number 8: Is this person of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin (of any race)?
Question Number 9: What is this person's race?

So they took their dataset from the race question.

Can we please have this guy as our president?

People seemed to get the message. Within hours of Macron’s speech, vaccination booking platforms registered a surge in appointment requests. A record number of shots were administered in France on Tuesday, the day after the announcement.

“I no longer have any intention of sacrificing my life, my time, my freedom and the adolescence of my daughters, as well as their right to study properly, for those who refuse to be vaccinated. This time you stay at home, not us.”
In France, those who do not get vaccinated will no longer be able to go to restaurants, cafes (from the beginning of August), cinemas and museums (from July 21) and get on airplanes or trains (again from August). Alternatively, you will have to submit a negative test, which will no longer be free (49 euros for the PCR, 29 for the antigen).
Macron then announced the vaccination obligation for medical personnel and for those who work in contact with fragile people. Beginning September 15, a nurse who has refused to be vaccinated will no longer be able to go to work and receive a salary.
“We cannot make those who have the civic sense to get
vaccinated bear the burden of inconvenience. The restrictions will weigh on others, those who for reasons incomprehensible in the country of Louis Pasteur, science and the Enlightenment still hesitate to use the only weapon available against the pandemic, the vaccine. I am aware of what I am asking you, and I know that you are ready for this commitment. This is, in a sense, part of your sense of duty."
Emmanuel Macron

Ha ha as if Americans could ever be French



We got to work with what we have


Americans love money more than anything

Pay every American $ X if they are vaccinated

Problem over

^^ DING DING

I love the idea of restrictions and vaccine passports but they won’t be enforced. It puts the job of government agent on poor schlub working at a grocery store or restaurant for — Idk what service employees make — $63/hour?? That’s wack.

Just give people $1500 if they get vaxxed. Solved.

No way would my mom or sister in law be bought off for $1500. Not sure if they are typical cases.

Who didn’t see this coming  ::)

DeSantis is being accused of being a sellout and taking a bride for pushing the vaccine… And you know since it’s from the likes of Michael Flynn a. Flynn already been vaccinated and b. Got to keep that grift going

Calling it "the Trump vaccine" implies there's a disease called "Trump" and that this vaccine protects you from it.

There is a disease called Trump


Unfortunately no vaccine yet

So we basically got our kids vaccinated for no reason.

Its weird that you think "the reason" to get vaccinated is to avoid wearing a mask not to avoid getting COVID (or at least avoiding the most deleterious effects of COVID).

the only reason you got your kid vaccinated was so that she didn't have to wear a mask?  bring back the masks and it was all for naught?


how transactional…

I know you guys are waiting for the follow up on this, so here it goes.

I talked to my brother. He guilted his wife into getting her first shot two weeks ago. This in spite of her nephew almost dying from the vaccine and her blind (diabetes complications) mother having "hallucinations about getting killed by rats" due to the vaccination.

My mother is a different story. She said she's looking forward to our visit, but won't be getting the vaccine, and will have to pass on family hugs too….because "there's something very bad in the vaccine that gets into the skin of the vaccinated and they can pass it onto the unvaccinated via skin to skin contact." She also claims that she will never catch Covid "because I am naturally immune."  Furthermore, she says 45,000 people have been killed so far by the vaccine. And that she gets all of this "from the real news, not the fake news that you watch."

Well the vaccine brings the risk levels down to the extent that we don't need masks if we choose not to. Are kids basically going to be wearing masks to school forever? Because this shit isn't going away.
