One of Joe Bidens COVID-19 advisers, Andy Slavitt, was unable to

I want to start with what we just saw, contrast states like Florida and
California, California basically in lockdown and their numbers arent
that
different from Florida, host Stepanie Ruhle
noted.

Apparently lock-downs and masks don't actually work. That must be why
democrap politicians ignore their own mask/lockdown laws?
We don't hear much about Sweden these days, probably because they are
down around #19, way behind the countries with severe lockdowns in
place. Their politicians finally succumbed to political pressure to
impose some closures (bars close at 10PM) but they are still pretty
open compared to most countries with worse problems than them
including the UK at #3 and the US at #8.
But those fools got an obscene result in the death rate
and didnt do any better on the effect on the economy
so all those corpses were for nothing.
It is not really obscene when you consider it is ~70% of how UK did.
(0.12% Swe vs 0.17% UK)
The only sensible comparison is with the rest of scandinavia
and sweden got more deaths than the whole of the rest of
scandinavia COMBINED and didnt even save any jobs or
small businesses in the process.
Why would that be true? Are you saying Finland is exactly the same as
Sweden? I bet the Swedes would disagree.
He's saying that it would be a more fair comparison, certainly the first place
to look for comparison, instead of trying to compare Sweden with the USA or UK.
It still doesn't support the scary predictions of what would happen.
OK that gets us back closer to home again. Compare Florida to
California. NBC did in a story that was far more candid than I would
expect from them.
Newsom locked his state down tight, fines for not wearing a mask
businesses shuttered. DeSantis was far more open. Our numbers are
better than California's in spite of the influx from northern hot
spots and Europe. We do win the prize for the highest number of UK
variant infections tho.
