Can Florida's governor admit he was wrong about coronavirus?

In response to a May 5 Orlando Sentinel article reporting that one projection suggested that the death toll in Florida from coronavirus could reach almost 4,000 by August, DeSantis' spokesperson Helen Aguirre Ferre tweeted this:

"This alarmist headline mimics the erroneous headlines of the recent past that were based on models that were wrong. If you want to get it right speak to @GovRonDeSantis."

More than 4,400 Floridians have died. And it is July 14.
When you push the we-were-right-and-everyone-else-was-wrong narrative, then you had better hope that the data backs you up. And, for DeSantis, it, well, doesn't.


The situation in Florida appears to be on the verge of becoming totally out of control -- if it's not there already. DeSantis seems unwilling to acknowledge that reality -- and how wrong he was about his state's battle against the virus.


So, as an Oregonian, I sit here wondering what in hell is going on down there? CAN DeSantis admit he was wrong about coronavirus? If he doesn't and the epidemic continues to dine on Floridians in ever larger numbers while their health system crashes, will the good people of Florida change theirs about him and Republican rule?

The opinions of "Canadians" will be appreciated for their comic relief. As if from a little brother who is still teething.

It was just announced today that the Canadian government is extending the border closure another 30 days.

Luckily for us teething little brothers up here, our government makes public health decisions based on science not politics.

I honestly wish you long toothed Americans were up here with us where it’s a little bit safer. Even you with all of your sanctimonious bullshit.

Yep, thanks to The Orange Embarrassment, it's looking less and less likely that I'll be having my annual get together with my US friends and family at my lake house.

Piece of shit needs to be used as fertilizer.
At least we can go to europe this summer, I hear Paris is lovely this time of year...

A level headed opinion for sure, it will be a slaughter of not just the citizens in Florida, but of elephants too.

<shrug> i live in colorado..but did mention that the state will be one mass graveyard when it hit 15k/day..it was 15k for the whole country until recently.

the governor is a complete dick..who cheated Andrew Gillum..Dr. Brenda C. Snipes? cheated her brothers and sisters out of a deperately need democratic governor; she sold everyone out.

they refuse to do Medicaid expansion and unemployment max is $275 weekly..there literally is no safety net for folks unless you have minor children that reside. you can get SNAP if you qualify.

Is there a breaking point between Florida's electorate and the Republican Party?
