There must be other interesting material about Covid in Florida. Or maybe Florida does not have the Branch Covidians that populate New York's and California's elites.

I don't know what a Branch Covidian is, sorry.

I was in Waco Texas from February 1993 through February 1994, nothing to do with the Branch Davidians. I travelled 1 to 2 weeks a month to my client there. It was interesting being in Waco at the time, hotels were mostly sold out, FBI/ATF agents on airplanes, out to lunch and dinner. Strange sad times.

Branch Covidian is a jocular term, for those that want to burn down society to control the spread of a disease that, whatever it once was, is no more than a cold or, in bad cases a flu. See link to T-shirt with Branch Covidian meme (link).

The joke clearly flew right over your head and needs to be explained in detail.

Not really. Since I was in Waco during the Branch Davidian siege and standoff where 77 people died, I simply thought the "joke" was in bad taste.

By your own admission you didn’t understand the joke, and now you’re saying you do understand the joke. You can’t have it both ways, choose one or the other.

You’re not getting it, so I’ll be blunt: Your obsession with this pandemic is more than creepy, and nobody cares about daily statistics almost four years later. Most have already moved on to other more pressing affairs. I know you don’t get it, and may be even incapable of getting it, but the people saying you are alone in your obsession are right, or that you can count the number of people who care on one hand.

You obsession with people who monitor covid statistics is creepy. I know you don’t get it but you are alone on your obsession over people listing a few simple numbers.

May I suggest putting down your phone or keyboard and going on a nice walk outside away from the right wing talking points instead? Weather in Florida is lovely right now and might help you clear your head from your unhealthy obsessions.

I’m not alone at all. I actually have 2 more people with me. I’ll save you the trouble and post them here for your reference;

I’m a democrat, mind you, not right wing at all.

My total of a few posts on this thread have no comparison with 87 pages of boring statistics.

Lastly it’s pouring down rain, hard in this part of the state so no I think I will stay inside my cozy abode.

ETA I noticed upthread that you find Florida’s handling of the pandemic “disgusting”. You should just save everyone the trouble and move to some other state while you’re ahead of the game if this state is so “disgusting” to you.
