Yes that's right. However, look at other places where the lockdown was small or non-existent and you can see that they are mirroring Sweden. Florida, Texas and Arizona had too much of a lockdown and are now going through what they could have already gone through like Sweden. There is another factor here that I don't see addressed much and that is the fact that these 3 states have people leaving other states like NY and heading south to them. These 3 states will get thru this fairly soon. DeSantis is doing fine.
and, I am going to be very clear with you. You are a nasty piece of work who writes drive by insults on thread after thread. Your thinking skills are limited to parroting the leftist party line. You try to make every many thread I see about Canada. You have stalked people. You report them after getting in arguments with them. You threaten lawsuits... (if I recall maybe it was not you.. but I think it was you.) You are obviously imbalanced. You should stop posting here and work on you meds. And the funny thing is you presume to know stuff about me and you make up lies about how responsible I am even though you don't realize that I have been following the rules... I wear my mask unless I am outside in situations where I don't have to wear it... and even then when I see old people and people who seem fearful... I turn my head or hold my breath... just in case I am asymptomatic.
Very simple, people in these states have been following the lead of our president in not wearing masks.
Buddy, in all seriousness, you are mentally ill. I mentioned this months ago and it snowballed you got a lot worse on here. Ranting about "leftists" and how hard done you feel by the government isn't healthy.
Come on, now. That doesn't explain a 100% positive rate at a testing center. There would be negatives. You'd expect something in the neighborhood of the overall average, but in higher concentrated areas, a bit worse. Not 100%.
I wondered that myself, I tend to believe that most infections come from touching the face etc. With the massive difference between states that wear just cotton masks and those that don't that don't, kinda makes me think that the micro particulate theory doesn't hold. That masks prevent the large droppings from getting everywhere for people to touch them. What bothers me is how there can be no scientific way to know for sure, get some young really healthy people and test it, would be safer than being the first group to test the vaccine imo.
The rate of infection may well be lower than reported, and the 50% bump might just be catch ups, but that doesn't change the underlying trend in hospitalizations which is what really matters.
