You’re making statements that aren’t exactly fair such a booming economy and a excellent results. Some of this stuff is genuinely good but nothing is really knock your socks off. As to fair, looking at deaths after the first initial wave when we did not have a good handle on what Covid is and how to treat it, doesn’t really show Florida doing any better or worse than most of the country. What I’ve noticed is that restrictions don’t Trump infections. Meaning people’s behavior seems to more closely follow infection rates than restrictions. It’s observable that when cases spike people pull back.
So DeSantis only supports providing vaccines to rich, white people who support him and donate to his campaigns. We all clearly understand this now. P.S. -- Don't criticize the tyrant.
You're generalizing on my statements that were made about specific items. For example, booming was referring to real estate. Excellent results were based on COVID numbers - particularly the success in nursing homes. You can't just go through 300 pages and generalize the statements without context. Happy to discuss a specific number, and whether it is good or bad or so-so. This is the third time I've said that. You've said this before. My reply hasn't changed. Convenient stats and all that. The point isn't that Florida is doing better or worse but that Florida - if beholden to the supposedly worse governor in the history of governors - should be much, much worse. You've inserted yourself at the end of 300 pages of back and forth over this topic, and think you can sum it up in one post. You can't. Pull back from what? And I was going to type "trumpy trump ...etc". You're so used to typing the word with a capital letter that the actual word is alien!
Criticize every one who does anything bad or immoral. But praise when they deserve it. You only go one way, and that's your problem.
there are some really funny posts from folks in this thread. Here's one that made the spike in florida and the text from our resident griefer implying it would be the end of Florida (and would never be seen by other states again). All DeSantis' fault. Another funny one: The only thing Florida did by opening is get the spread over with. Was gonna happen anyway, and did. Locking up didn't save anyone, which I said back then: Hell, even you say it is different now that we "know how to handle it". Remember when Florida "took the lead"? LOL El Ocho telling us his state "fucking crushed it". How about now? Which...didn't turn out the way you thought it would. The funniest thing about THIS one is this quote: “I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 [new cases] a day if this does not turn around.” That's the great thing about adaptive modeling. You can just adjust your faulty bullshit.
Continued! Turned out that this was a smart move. Stats got all better, and DeSantis pushed through. The rest of the country went into the tank. Covertibility telling us businesses would start to close (they didn't) Wow, whocouldaknown? I did, back then. Sure is!! Thank GOD and I was (this was about hospitalization).
i was talking about my county but I understand how you don't need to read the details when attacking someone else... My county has 6% cases and .00084% death (about 1,000,000 people) My state has same statistics by the way. Why? because mask wearing and social distancing was followed pretty uniformly and still is with stores and restaurants opened for quite some time and crowd control and cleaning. Play healthy games, win healthy prizes
Ok, but you were telling us about your state. If you meant county, that's just a mistype. Its not me attacking you. Its me pointing out yet another example of how just about everyone in this thread - with a few exceptions - thought that what was going on in Florida in July was evidence of how bad the governor was and that no other state would experience the same fucking thing when they opened up - despite me saying that very thing over and over.
