      13 Miami-area school staffers have died of covid-19 this school year

      Miami-Dade County Public Schools are reporting at least 13 employee deaths from covid-19 since mid-August, a tally that forecasts what could be a grim autumn for Florida educators.

            Wow! 13 died from a disease that normally takes 4 weeks to kill and the kids have only been back for 2 weeks? Those masks they were required to wear must have made the COVID worse…

                        Nice graph.

                        Now, can you extrapolate the data to single out cases transmitted within the public school system?

                          That wasn't the point of my posting the graph. The point was, Florida's going through a rough patch right now, and cherry-picking over school infections isn't going to change that.

                            Yes, Florida’s been a hotspot these past two months and had one of the worst spreads we’ve seen. How does that justify the Post trying to manipulate the facts to create a narrative? 13 staffers doesn’t equate 13 teachers and in this case, we don’t even know that 13 died of COVID, the article admits that. Beyond that with the timing, most or all caught the disease before the school year began. Even the one teacher example they used likely caught it from his sister. (And wasn’t it extra special how the Post mentioned his attention to children of color and his work in a program for kids founded by a Dem rep?)

                            They also pointed back to the Texas teachers, both of whom died before kids were back in school.

                            Are you denying that this was a gross misrepresentation and attempt to manipulate the readers? Or is it justified just because Florida got hit with a surge? The same surge that experts are predicting for elsewhere in the US?

                                  By actively preventing public and private entities from creating their own safety procedures. And also by literally saying on record, many times, that getting vaccinated doesn't matter to anyone and it's a personal choice that has no impact on public health.

                                    Until someone can answer the question 'why?' to all those graphs you can invent whatever explanation fits your comfort zone.

                                      @lufins-dad said in DeSantis is such a douchebag:

                                      ? Did Israel fuck up? Did the UK? Florida, Texas, and Louisiana were hit with Delta before anybody knew the vaccinations were wearing off or that Pfizer was less effective than hoped…How is that DeSantis’ fault?

                                      By actively preventing public and private entities from creating their own safety procedures. And also by literally saying on record, many times, that getting vaccinated doesn't matter to anyone and it's a personal choice that has no impact on public health.

                                      I’d like cites on that last half.

                                      And yet, despite his obvious attempts to destroy his state, his state doesn’t crack the top 15 in terms of deaths per population even though they have one of the oldest and most at risk populations in the country and one of the highest caseloads.

                                      He has also been praised by his political opponents in Florida for his handling of the crisis and the job that he’s done on the ground. Maybe there’s more to this story?

                                        Go find it, and the cites. Knock yourself out. A 10-second Google search is plenty.

                                          Google wouldn't set up negative algorithms for DeSantis, would they?

                                          Of course not...
