When the media frantically warns of record spikes of coronavirus cases in Florida and several other southern states and predicts these states will become the next epicenter for the virus, people automatically conjure up images of Italy and New York City.
The media has been predicting Florida would become the next New York since early April.
The media is acting like the discovery and even possible spreading of new cases will be a New York situation.
Ironically, the draconian shutdown did nothing to save lives in New York, as 66% of those who were hospitalized were people who were staying at home, so Florida has no incentive to go that route.
The media is still trying to give you the impression that Florida has become like New York City at its peak, when roughly the same number were hospitalized with COVID-19 in early April.
Unlike in New York City, states like Florida and North Carolina appear to be experiencing what Singapore and Qatar had with migrant workers causing a spike in cases, but because they were young, there were very few deaths.
At some point, the media needs to stop spinning all news on coronavirus as bad news.
