Gaetz Blames Florida’s Spike In COVID Cases On ‘Strategic’ Testing | Talking Points Memo

Yes that radical approach that worked in other countries really wasn’t a good idea to keep the capitalism from being effected.

Matt doesn’t understand/refuses to admit he understands that the more positive cases one has in the state then there will be more hospitalizations, and more deaths.

No stupid…this is like profiling. When we know there is a likely outbreak of COVID we move out resources there to test. Generally speaking we’re right and yes, because of morons like you with your denial/non denial BS, it spikes. Maybe we should just test everybody and then KEEP testing for you to ‘believe’ in it?

Strategic Testing, Matt? Like your failed Breathalyzer one?

Strategic testing with no plan for reacting to the data other than to say that they don’t show any new problem?

I guess one could say that it is an improvement on the Florida GOP strategic denial of danger from climate change, where they aren’t gathering information and then are pointing to the lack of data as proof that there isn’t any problem.

But, it is just a process improvement that still dead ends at doing nothing to address the problem.

Accidental truth.

Yes, testing is strategic, purposefully testing where hotspots are.

That’s how you fight an epidemic.

That, and, well… masks, at least indoors.

Gas masks not required

Yes, testing where there is suspicion you will find positive results

I really feel sorry for Gaetz’s constituents but they have a chance not to be seen as a laughingstock having elected this piece of shit to represent them. Only they can right this wrong.

A former Republican turned Dem is running against him in the next election and has been endorsed by ActBlue. His name is Phil Ehr and he’s a retired Navy Commander who flew missions as a pilot during the Cold War. Anything has got to be better than this juvenile delinquent and immature asshole Gaetz.

“Falling Average IQ in Florida Linked to Strategic Testing”

I"t’s not just more testing that’s to blame, it’s an uptick in “strategic” testing that targets areas where a high incidence of stupidity is expected that has caused record-setting caseloads of stupidity in the Southern state. Such areas include The Villages, and wherever the fuck Matt Gaetz lives."

Please consider that this allegation comes from a known drunk driver. Just sayin’

Yes, well except for China, South Korea, India, Italy, the European Union, New Zealand, etc.
Florida by itself, swamps most of those places because the mouth breather Governor and assholes like Gaetz keep downplaying the virus, convincing their “base” that everything is Okee-dokee.

Gaetz hates “strategic testing,” especially field sobriety tests.

No, no, no, Matt! Florida’s spike in COVID cases is due to 8-foot tall aliens with acid for blood from LV-426.

(Hey, it makes a lot more sense than that methamphetamine-fueled fantasy that Floriduh Man Matt Gaetz is spouting.)

It’s a shame we’ll have to wait until November for that to finally happen.

Gaetz also blames his DUIs on strategic placement of checkpoints. “Wouldn’t have happened…”
