CNN's Jim Acosta appears to treat COVID surges under liberal leaders different than in Florida.
5,731 new cases on Sunday in spite of its strict mandates, and the state at large reported a record number of new cases in one day on Thursday, at 21,027.
"'It's not just another COVID wave, it's a tsunami,'" Acosta said."That is how one expert describes the threat heading for the U.S. as the Delta variant continues to fuel new cases and hospitalizations. And the omicron variant spreads as quickly as any virus since the measles. We are already seeing the impact as long lines for COVID tests are forming across New York City, these people lining up to be tested at a mobile testing van all before the van even arrived.
When Acosta kicked it over to correspondent Polo Sandoval, he noted the long lines of people were not for sports tickets but for testing."Newsroom" then played a clip of Mayor Bill de Blasio calling the surge a"temporary phenomenon." "From everything that I've heard from our healthcare leadership, again, this is a very temporary phenomenon," de Blasio said,, adding,"We're in an entirely different reality because this is a very highly vaccinated city."
