These Shocking Graphs Show Florida’s Far Better COVID Outcomes With Far Milder Lockdown Than New York, California
Gov. Ron DeSantis has put the leaders of locked-down blue states to shame, and Democrat politicians are ashamed to admit it.
On a flight out of Orlando last month, I met a friendly Canadian family with three young children. We started chatting, and I asked what brought them all the way to Florida.
“We wanted to be able to take our kids to the park,” they told me. They aren’t alone in flocking to Florida to find freedom, as other states and countries continue to keep their citizens locked down.
Florida Is Open And People Are Voting With Their Feet
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis started lifting lockdown restrictions back in May, allowing stores and restaurants to begin reopening in all but three counties in South Florida. The stay-at-home order also ended at the beginning of May. Unlike New York and California, Florida never tried to bar people from going to religious services.
At the end of September, DeSantis lifted all remaining statewide COVID-19 restrictions. Traveling back and forth from COVID-conscientious Northern Virginia to Florida, I could notice a difference. In Florida, kids were going to school, wedding parties were throwing receptions, young people were studying at coffee shops, and families were taking Christmas pictures downtown on the square.
By my observation, people wanted to keep living their lives, and they came to Florida to do it. The numbers suggest the same thing. Florida ranks third in the nation for one-way U-Haul rentals in 2020. (The state was behind only Tennessee and Texas, where lockdowns have also been comparatively less extreme.)
Despite the media’s rapturous coverage of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who sent more than 9,000 potentially contagious patients into nursing homes and then covered it up — New York ranked 42nd on U-Haul one-ways. California, which was still shut down at the beginning of 2021, ranks dead last of all 50 states.
“When I go around Florida, I will see New York license plates here,” DeSantis told Tucker Carlson on Monday. “I doubt you see very many Florida license plates making their way to New York right now.”
Even the Democrat governor of Illinois sent his family to Florida for Thanksgiving, after Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told residents to stay at home.
Home sales in Florida for 2020 have also outpaced sales in 2019 every month since June. Not only are people like my Canadian friends coming to visit Florida, many are settling there for good.
Since April, Florida’s unemployment rate has remained better than New York’s and California’s.
Schools in Florida are open too, and have been since August. My brother goes to one of them. I’ve seen kids playing at recess.
Amid all this, Florida ranks 33rd in pediatric cases per capita, better than California, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The state of New York has not released its numbers on pediatric cases.
Florida, the third-most-populous state, has a similar population to New York’s, at 21 million to 19 million. California’s population is 39 million.
Florida’s COVID Numbers Show Lockdowns Only Hurt
Not only is Florida’s economy enduring the effects of COVID-19 much better than locked-down states, its death rates are below the national average. At the beginning of February, the Heritage Foundation reported that Florida’s death rate was 123.3 per 100,000 residents — a tragic number, but below the national average of 132 people per 100,000.
Florida’s experience is consistent with epidemiological experience and research, as the infectious disease experts who authored the Great Barrington Declaration pointed out last October: “Basic epidemiological theory indicates that lockdowns do not reduce the total number of cases in the long run and have never in history led to the eradication of a disease. At best, lockdowns delay the increase of cases for a finite period and at great cost. ”
This is also consistent with recent, peer-reviewed research done on COVID spread in different countries that finds lockdowns and their severity have no ultimate effect. Numerous other recent studies make this conclusion.
Florida was also below the national average rise in total deaths per capita, which would include deaths caused by lockdowns in other states. As early as July, CDC Director Robert Redfield said of young people: “We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID.”
Nationally, there was a 16.9 percent increase in total deaths, regardless of cause. Florida’s increase was lower at 14.8 percent. Meanwhile, New York saw a 30.1 percent spike and California’s deaths increased by 18.6 percent.
Known for its appeal to retirees, Florida is home to about 4.5 million Americans aged 65 and older. Coronavirus-related deaths per 100,000 seniors in Florida are below those of New York and California, and below the national average.
Florida has lost 474 out of every 100,000 seniors to coronavirus, while the national average is 666. The virus has killed 573 of every 100,000 seniors in California, and a staggering 1,066 ov every 100,000 in New York.
Meanwhile, almost 40 percent of Florida seniors have already received the vaccine, while other states struggle to vaccinate their elderly and most vulnerable.
Florida’s hospitalizations per million people were comparable or slightly higher than those in New York and California until November, when both locked-down states spiked in hospitalizations. Ever since, those states’ hospitalizations have continued to dramatically surpass Florida’s hospitalization numbers. Daily new coronavirus cases per million people have also been lower in Florida than in New York and California almost every day since December.
Even Florida’s Democrat emergency management director Jared Moskowitz defended Republican Gov. DeSantis’ leadership against criticism from other Democrats. “It was New York that had a cover up for the last six months, and hid 50% of the nursing home deaths,” Moskowitz said on Tuesday. “We would never have gotten away with that for...
Wuhan Lab Granted Bat Cages Patent For Secret Virus Experiments Months Before COVID-19 Outbreak
While British scientist in the WHO team investigating the origin of COVID-19 has denied reports of virus leak from Wuhan lab which was planned for breeding animals for virus experiments; the uncovering of secret bat cages has resulted in increased suspicion of China’s role behind the global pandemic.
According to reports, the Chinese laboratory amidst the controversy received a patent for cages to hold live bats just a few months before the spread of coronavirus.
It comes following reports suggesting WHO giving credence to theories supporting the entry of the virus into China via frozen meat. The WHO team with British-born scientists Peter Daszak has backed the Beijing claims.
However, the adviser to WHO, Jamie Metzl himself has finally admitted that their COVID-19 probe into the Wuhan Institute of Virology for the origin of coronavirus was actually conducted by the Chinese authorities and not by the WHO investigators.
Meanwhile, The Mail has uncovered the patent application, which suggests that in June 2018 Wuhan Institute of Virology applied for a patent for the bat rearing cages.
It allows the growing and breeding of bats for virus study under artificial conditions.
The patent uncovered by The Mail indicates the granting of a patent in January 2019, just eleven months before the first reported case of coronavirus in Beijing.
Furthermore, the first cases broke just a few miles from the institute.
The newspaper also discovered a patent filed by the WIV in October 2020 related to the artificial breeding options of the wild bat.
The patent also deliberated the transmission methods of SARS-Cov, including cross-species transmission.
The discussion of the transmission of the virus from bats to humans and other animals has raised the hackles of people worldwide.
The patent also explicitly states the breeding bat method to fuel...

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Behind ‘Anti-Racist’ Math Push Liberal education collective claims asking students to show work is racist
A radical new push to purge math curricula of allegedly racist practices like showing your work and finding the correct answer is bankrolled by one of the nation's most prominent nonprofits: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Gates Foundation is the only donor mentioned on the homepage of A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction, a group of 25 education organizations whose curriculum states that asking students to show their work and find the right answer is an inherently racist practice.
Over the past decade, the Gates Foundation has given upward of $140 million to some of the groups behind Pathway, whose antiracist resources are the basis for a new teacher training course offered by the Oregon Department of Education.
The Education Trust, a California-based group that promoted the September release of Pathway's antiracist "toolkit," has received $86 million from the Gates Foundation, including a $3.6 million grant awarded in June.
Teach Plus, another group dedicated to creating an antiracist culture in K-12 schools, has received more than $27 million from the Gates Foundation. The group's board members include former Democratic congressman George Miller and Obama-era secretary of education John King Jr.—who is also the president of The Education Trust.
WestEd, a nonprofit committed to dismantling "systemic barriers" in schools, has received more than $35 million from the Gates Foundation since 2009. UnboundEd, an organization dedicated to helping teachers "disrupt systemic racism" in the classroom, has received nearly $14 million in grants from the Gates Foundation since...
Muslim ‘Refugee’ Working as Anti-Rape Trainer is Arrested for Rape
He taught other Muslim Afghans how to behave against women – then he himself raped a colleague on the night shift- empowered by .Leftists, Democrats, feminists who say nothing but work to import more rape jihad.
The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified. (source: Robert Spencer)
This behavior is justified in the Qur’an. Islamic scholar Robert Spencer explains:
“Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce not witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.” — Qur’an 24:13
Because of the Qur’an-derived stipulation that sexual crimes can only be established by the testimony of four male Muslim witnesses, along with the Sharia provision that women’s testimony is not admissible in cases involving sex, it is not at all unknown that women are in prison for being victims of rape: their own charge against the perpetrator becomes self-incriminating when he refuses to confess and there are not four witnesses.
In Islamic law, it is normal: the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or whom their right hands possess, for they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)
A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has previously said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to...
