Aside from something like Ebola there may never be lockdowns in Florida again. The Governor is very clear on this. Florida will have different Governors in the future, of course, but State government here will retain a cultural memory of The Great Mistake for decades to come.

I've registered to vote in-person here (there is a distinction when registering, you have to request in-person voting) and I'm going to be a poll worker for a few days so I can keep an eye on this shit. Sorry to mess up your Black Panther Party.

And Ebola is rarely, if ever airborne, so I don't believe there would be a lockdown on that either. I applaud DeSantis for his actions.

How could countries have different government systems that make apples-to-apples comparison difficult? What about an island could make a lockdown easier to manage and execute? What about New Zealands tourism being several orders of magnitude smaller than the US?

These are called "confounding factors". Something your room temperature IQ apparently won't let you reconcile when you're trying to make a broad conclusion about "lmao America bad other country good" like every other toolbag on the planet with a computer.

Exactly. Comparing New Zealand to Florida from the tourism standpoint alone makes it ridiculous. But don't bring logic into this. It has no place in GWB's Covid arguments.
