Oh, would it be nice to have a national media that actually gave a crap and wasn’t hell-bent on stopping President Trump from being elected.
In Florida where there has been a huge number of cases, there has been almost no change in total hospitalization or ICU use statewide. Former New York Times now independent journalist Alex Berenson posted the stunning stats coming out of Florida.
The real story out of Florida is incredible: 150,000 #SARSCoV2 positive tests in the last two weeks, and effectively NO change in either total hospitalizations or ICU use statewide. Case mix? A huge advance in medicine? This is the story real reporters should chase. pic.twitter.com/rp3Ax6gUDH

Berenson released this data about a day after Orange county, Florida health officials added a man who perished in a motorcycle accident to the Wuhan virus death count.
FOX 35 Orlando was speaking with Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino when it was discovered that two people in their 20s died of the virus. As we started to learn the younger you the better off you are if you contract the virus. They reported:
FOX 35 News found this out after asking Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino whether two coronavirus victims who were in their 20s had any underlying conditions. One of his answers surprised us.
“The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident,” Pino said.
Dr. Pino was asked if the man’s data was removed.
“I don’t think so. I have to double-check,” Pino said. “We were arguing, discussing, or trying to argue with the state. Not because of the numbers — it’s 100…it doesn’t make any difference if it’s 99 — but the fact that the individual didn’t die from COVID-19…died in the crash. But you could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that one.”
Florida health officials did remove the man from the coronavirus death tally.
Also, Alex Berenson posted some good news, things may be quieting down in Texas and Arizona.
Another day of declining hospitalizations in SE Texas and Arizona, both down more than 10% from peak, and now ICUs and ventilations are dropping too. If they aren’t past peak they’re doing a good job of pretending. pic.twitter.com/E14foWiNmB

Time will always tell but so far, Berenson has been right more than wrong since March.
