How did Florida end up with one of the best COVID-19 case and death rates in the US despite Gov Ron DeSantis refusing to implement mask or vaccine mandates?

Flu is a droplet spread disease. Social distancing and masking to the extent that is was applied rather obsessively would reduce influenza. It is well described in the literature.

Really — can’t find a new insult. You continue to demonstrate your idiocy by stating something so stupid....but whatever. Have a good evening.

Yep. Just what I thought. A bully that runs away!

Maybe I was wrong.

Those paychecks might be coming directly from the chicoms???

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yes.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So California should have the same statistics.

But it doesn't.

So strange.

What could be the answer?

I am not running away — I just do not engage the universally insane who adds little to the real conversation. Perhaps you could go read something and then come back with some new material.

It is your stance that gives we the conservative a bad name. If you want to engage on the issues, bring it on...otherwise run along, skippy.

I think Florida and Sweden prove that masks and all the big government rulings don’t do anything but screw things up. The virus will do its thing. Protect the vulnerable and go on with life.

What I read from you is that you are on this forum constantly BULLYING people that have a different opinion than you.

And, you never answered my questions about your paychecks.

Well, "Skippy"?

[gas_dr]

I am not paid by your beloved deep state. The accusation is beyond comprehension or rationality.

Yes you are. By one of them. Pretty obvious.

Your bullying is chasing away good people and future FReepers that could contribute to this forum.

See that red bar for the Freep-a-thon? Notice how slow it goes now days?

YOU are one of the reasons why!

The apollo program burnt up three astronauts is testing. They immediately worked the problem (for 18 months, which is longer than these experimental vaccines total testing were) until they understood the cause and rectified the problem.

Pfizer had a 12yr old girl paralyzed in their trials, and instead of finding the problem and working it, they merely dropped her from the trials and did not have her in their report.

This is equivalent of the Apollo program saying the three men were no longer astronauts and the fire never happened therefore no redesign was needed.

Your comparison has failed miserably. Apollo identified and worked their issues, these experimentals have not.

Let us move on to the bomb. The estimates for invading mainland Japan ran into the millions, far outweighing anything covid will ever do to America.

Quite simply covid never rose to the level of needing a rushed traditional vaccine much less an experimental one.

Funny I contribute substantially each month...how about you.

Freedom works much better than socialism (tyranny).

In this current crisis, government is not the solution. Government is the problem. —RR

Most likely, different weather conditions this year, comparing to the last one.

Arizona also had a big wave in 2020, but not 2021.

Not a perfect science :(

[MountainDad]

Not talking about your donations.

Just you chasing away future freepers with your bullying!

Yeah. Check the monthly list.

You'll find me there.

skippy.....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It is not a science at all.

[gas_dr]

Really — you think that future freepers are snowflakes? Says a lot about you. And I note I have answered your questions and yet you have hardly answered mine

Typical — name calling when you have no argument.

Good night....

[zeugma]

This word ... Inexplicably ... I do not think it means what they think it means.

[MountainDad]

If you rememeber, YOU called me "skippy" first! LOL.

Hypocrititcal much??

The only question you asked me, I answered - Check the monthly list!

The only other label I give you is BULLY!!!!

“Which brings up the question of why are private entities pressed into being govt agents?Currently businesses collect taxes from customers and forward those to the govt. Now they want business to enforce a vaccine mandate. How far does this go?“

It goes right into Fascism Station.

As usual you have contributed a vast amount to the overall discussion with your superficial name calling and lack of any constructive discussion — you have obviously had several opportunities — but cannot close the loop.

It is what it is — call someone names when you have absolutely no real response. It must be sad to live in that universe.
