50 new strain cases confirmed in Florida.

Florida was one of the states that had a very rough encounter with COVID-19 and have seen a dramatic surge over the summer. The Sunshine State has seen the third biggest outbreak in the United States and the situation is not so great right now either, as data from the Covid Act Now has shown.

When it comes to the new COVID variant, Florida has recorded the largest number of cases, so it’s currently the number 2 hotspot in the United States, with 50 cases confirmed and the number is still rising day by day.

The new COVID strain was firstly confirmed on December 31 in Florida, but since then, 49 more cases have been found in less than a month. These numbers are concerning because they show how fast the new strain spreads and how contagious it is compared to the dominant one.

As Frederick Southwick, MD, a professor of medicine and a specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Florida, told the Associated Press, “This new strain is more contagious, and that means more people will get infected. If we had a problem, we’re going to have more of a problem now.”

    Yep, I was expecting this, maybe just not so soon! The liberals are bound and determined to control each and every aspect of our lives, after all, they have gotten by with it the past 6 months, does anyone out there really think they have controlled people for their own good? We really do have the sense to come in out of the rain! I have a feeling we haven’t seen nothing yet, they aren’t going to be happy until they can KEEP people just where they want them!!!!!!
