The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that 9,276 people in Florida have died from Covid-19. 135 were non-Florida resident deaths. The article states that the population of Florida is 21.5 million. I don’t have a degree in math, but I think this means that .04314 percent of the population has died from Covid-19. And of course, we know that 9,276 people didn’t die of Covid-19. The books are cooked. Many were in nursing homes near death and died with Covid-19, not from Covid-19.
As a resident of Florida, I’ll take my chances. Floridians who are not 80 years old in nursing homes should be more concerned about going to the beach and getting bitten by a shark or being struck by lightning than dying from Covid-19.
