One of Joe Bidens COVID-19 advisers, Andy Slavitt, was unable to
explain
on MSNBC why open Republican states like Florida have performed
relatively
similarly to liberal states like New York,
New Jersey, and California that have strictly locked down. After
all,
that
certainly isnt what we were told would happen.

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.

Corse it does with the obscene death rate they got.


0.12% is not that high compared to most of the world


The rest of the world is irrelevant, what matters is the rest
of scandinavia. Thats the death rate they could have got
with sensible controls on the spread of the virus.

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,

Bull****.

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.

For other reasons like demographics.


What demographics.


California is much worse with way the dregs of society lives.


Don't talk about Scott that way. He is a nice guy.


Florida is a lot "older" than California, particularly
this time of year with a million senior snow birds.


But the dont live like the dregs of society do.


Why do you think this only affects the homeless? There are plenty of
homeless here too.


We really do not have the laws to enforce that.


BULL****.


Find me a successful prosecution of an asymptomatic person breaking
quarantine.
