For all the liberals who are so keenly interested in the "failures" of Florida, I figured I'd update you. And no, wearing useless cloth masks has nothing to do with the decline.
While there is no state mandate for masks -- most grocery stores require them.

And yes -- Florida is seeing numbers lower than they did a few weeks ago but still the highest in the country -- consistently number one on the list.Almost double California or New York numbers.....what?

For cases, not deaths. Cases don’t mean a whole lot on their own. A case can be asymptomatic or a sore throat or cold like, or flu like or worse.

NJ, NY and MA are top states for covid deaths per population.

Cases don't matter.





Really.




As for as Covid goes sure, bet they had balance. They didn't wreck their economy and millions of lives in the process. They chose personal responsibility over fascist lockdowns.
Keep in mind that for liberals, life is viewed in terms of COVID19 and nothing else matters.

"Duh" - typical language for a lockdown zealot

Florida's age adjusted death rate is lower than California's. Lower death rate for >65s before the vaccine in FL than here in Newsom's Empire of Unscientific COVID Policy.

Yep, I bet this has a lot to do with it. The spring-breakers - the vast majority of whom were out of state - came down here and acted like nothing was wrong. Zero mask, zero social distancing. It was disgusting. If you can't respect the Florida people, don't come back.

Lol, you mean NY, that was hit hard in MARCH 2020 when nobody knew what to do, amid totally botched federal response has a higher death rate. Combine that with no available treatments. Wow, what a surprise
By late spring/ early summer NY already had more than 50% of its total Covid deaths so far.

Cases most certainly matter if they end up in the hospital and it has nothing to do with deaths statistics dating back to last year. The thread is about the current trend. Just about every state is are because of vaccinations, do we need a thread on each state.

NY has remained at the top this whole time. However, NJ is #1. Covid hit Oregon and CO early too but different results.

Today it's real and it obviously didn't disappear on Election Day.

That's what I'm gathering from this development?

Oklahoma, too. In Oklahoma, 143 new COVID-19 cases today (last 3 Wednesdays: 252, 249, 238); 7-day rolling average 182. This, even though Oklahoma City and Tulsa dropped required mask ordinances at the end of April.
