Here is the detail that the headline belies.

Abbott is a sane guy and a solid governor. Why on earth do some folks cringe when he suggests safety precautions?

Because you're gay.

I really don’t have a problem with governors acting like politicians, the same way I don’t have a problem with a dog taking a whiz on a fire hydrant — it is what they do. I listened to Abbott and I listened to DeSantis yesterday. Both are getting ahead of the numbers and providing the facts behind the numbers, but the media with its biased ADHD will continue to scary headlines.

In One region of Florida that I have studies fully 35% of the deaths of that region of approximately 4 M people (58 total deaths) came from ONE NURSING HOME that failed to do the right thing.

While the population of patients in SNF is <1% of the American population, over 40% of all CoVID deaths are related to SNF. There is the important demographic. The ongoing drum beat of are we going to relock the country if ridiculous as in my career I have seen influenza act the exact same way.

As I said yesterday the reason this is so scary is because it is being broadcast. We are being treated like sheeple. Reasonable people take reasonable precautions and move on. Wash, don’t pick your nose, don’t visit Grandma in the NH if you are sick. But shutting the economy? Banning sports? We always have dangerous viruses circulating — why this reaction to this virus at this time? That is the question that needs answering.
