Florida, California See COVID-19 Declines Despite Different Approaches
New York Post ^ | February 15, 2021 | Jackie Salo

Florida and California have taken dramatically different approaches to tackle the spread of coronavirus — but both states have seen key metrics improve in recent weeks.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed more stringent rules, most recently mandating a statewide stay-at-home order Dec. 3 that lasted through the holiday season.

The order, which was lifted Jan. 25, went as far as to ban outdoor dining, beauty services and religious services. In the Sunshine State, on the other hand, steps were taken to ensure that businesses were kept open.

Wanna bet: CA has tinkered with the Ct threshold and is doing far fewer tests...

They’re dropping in CA because Newsom is facing a recall over his arrogant, harsh tactics and destruction of the lives of Californians and he needs to back off the hysteria so he can “relax” the restrictions. In other words, it was inflated to begin with and manipulated by the state government in accordance with Newsom’s political objectives.

Also, the LA Times reported in January that LA County and other parts of CA were using WuFlu tests known to throw a lot of false negatives...

Florida, California See COVID-19 Declines Despite Desperate Attempts By Leftist Dictatorial Governors and Congressmen to Extend It.

Large population centers in both states are now experiencing 75+degree
weather, in which case Newsom got it wrong.

“Despite different approaches“! LOL

You mean like Florida allowed people to live their lives and California lied about their numbers? That kind of different approach?

What is the one thing they have in common?

Testing.

The WHO policy change on 01/20/2021 lowered the sensitivity
of the testing.

Guess what happened. Why it was a miracle... /s

This might just have something to do with the WHO changing the criteria for counting a Wuflu case. Now it is 2 positive tests and displaying symptoms.
Previously it had been 1 positive test. Not sure if previously you had tested positive twice that it was counted as 2 cases.

It’s just fading out as much as the rats, media and Fauci don’t want to admit it.

Mask wearing today is analogous to ancient pagan rituals ‘bringing’ in the next season in order to reap the reward.

The fall harvest is coming with or without the sacrificed virgin. The virus is going to ebb and flow with or without the masks.

Of course!!! The WHO changed the cycle threshold for the PCR test literally hours after Biden was inaugurated. This was completely predictable.

Just got back from the grocery store and the auto parts store. No mask for me, and nobody said a word.

Forget RED States and BLUE States.

The issue is FREE States and FEAR States!

So this says that the “cause” is not from any of the things they are trying in their different approaches ... so the cause is not being addressed properly.
