It takes a concerted effort in those states like the Dakotas to have a higher infection rate than NY where they have a few people in a hundred square miles.

I’ve been trying to explain this in here the last several days.

People are purposely getting Covid there to spite Democrats.

It’s the pinnacle of insanity.

Maybe you can beg your bosses in the Democrat Party for more lockdowns, which is what you want.

The discussion is about Herd Immunity, is it not? That article is as valid for Florida as it is for Washington.

I've been to Florida on multiple occasions, and yes I wouldn't trade places with you either. No offense intended. Thanks.

Don Jr, the president’s son, has tested positive for coronavirus. He escaped the virus when people around him got infected, including his girlfriend Kimberly, but now has it, per multiple sources.


He’s following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines, a spokesperson says.

It's a stupid move unless there's a vaccine or something else available to drastically slow down the virus' spread.

It's impossible to build herd immunity when the disease is outrunning the immunity. The herd immunity only builds when the disease progresses slowly, as the herd immunity is even slower to develop.

Depending on it for a fast-moving disease like Covid is a recipe for disaster in a state like Florida at this time of year. Within 60 days, how many folks will be going to Florida to escape the winter? I don't know how many that will be, but some are bringing Covid with them, and in Florida's warmth and humidity, Covid flourishes like death orchids.

Ron De Santis is about as bright as the center of a black hole.
