What I can't understand are the hospital metrics. I keep hearing about "hospitals filling up" in Florida, and generally that phrase just seems to get automatically added anywhere cases are ticking up.
But then I saw a graph of Florida hospital capacity - saw it before last summer - and it's been pretty steady @ 80% for months and months, and where it sits today. Desantis' office presented this, both times I think.
As with pretty much anything in the media these days, I don't think "reporters" are vetting these stories before they read them. I guess they're no longer obligated to fact-check something they assume to be true.
