While younger Floridians lounged together on the Sunshine State’s sandy beaches, and the oldsters’ raged about White Power while shoulder to shoulder in The Villages, Florida’s ICU beds were slowly filling with COVID 19 patients.

An internal FEMA memo revealed that 56 hospitals in Florida are out of available ICU beds, and an additional 35 medical centers in the state are already at 10 percent or less capacity.

That eye-popping statistic comes as the Sunshine State had its deadliest day yet, reporting 120 new deaths and 8,935 new cases, bringing the total number to 232,718. So far, 4,009 people have died in the state’s outbreak.

Florida is also reporting a record 18.39 percent positivity rate, as hospitalizations continue to climb.

But wait, there’s more – a lot more. Wait until September. It’s going to be a bad storm season.

Almost 20% is a good start. We need 60-80% to reach herd immunity. Get out there trumpeters… go to rallies, go to church, and when church is over, stop in a a bar on your way to the beach with 50 of your trump loving best friends. Make America great again with your sacrifice.
