Florida is booming

Look to Texas for the results of what opening 100% gets ya, and the Leg and Gov here go out of their way to overrule any attempts at sanity at the county or city level. My State is now full of lab rats and we have around a 9% vaccination rate, we have all three major variants of the virus, and too many stupid People running the State. At least most people are still wearing their masks anyway in my area, those that don't never did to begin with, which is why we have done so badly here. Wait For It, it Is Coming. My guess is they will blame it all on illegal immigrants since the Repubs never take any responsibility for their own actions, from the Pandemic to State Wide power outages for over a week, it is never their fault, ever. :palm:
I’m thankful in my zip code in Texas, most people are still wearing masks. I ventured out to the outdoor garden center and only one guy wasn’t wearing a mask. It was funny watching people avoid him! :laugh: and the looks he got.
 
Not too good with statistics, are you? That’s TOTAL cases. No coincidence they’re the most populated . The relevant stat is cases page million.:doh:
BTW, NY is #4.

Of the 17 states with most cases per million, 15 are Trump states, many of them with sparse populations that should have lent to much lower infection rates. I don't believe that is coincidence.

Like I said the most relevant statistic for me is deaths/million.
By far the worst region is the Northeast. Florida’s doing about avg.
AK and HI are 49 and 51 which are the only two I really care about.
Cases? Pffft. I was one. Flu was far worse.

Deaths per million is completely skewed by the fact that we didn't know how to treat seriously ill Covid patients early on in the pandemic. Beyond that, it's a meaningless stat.

Sounds to me you’re saying Hawaii somehow knew how to treat the seriously ill better than NJ early on hence the huge disparity in deaths/million. Sorry, I don’t buy that.

LOL, no I'm saying the largest outbreak by far was in the Northeast. Come on.

I see what you’re saying now. Whatever. Things are almost normal here (HI) except for the masking.
We get back to Anchorage April 4. I’ve heard things are really loosening up there.

We are planning a couple of trips, but holding off until fully vaccinated. I think we'll probably both be good to go by mid April (she is a youngster so not yet eligible in Florida). I think the post-mortem on this pandemic will be interesting. I think the true effectiveness of various mitigation techniques will turn out to be influenced by multiple factors which makes conclusions much more difficult. I suspect the truth, as it usual does, sits somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. I'm still a man of science.

BTW, Europe is fucking up with the vaccines. Italy back on lockdown I hear.
They tried to negotiate lower prices and fucked themselves. That and the stifling beaurocracies of European countries. Israel pays the most. Guess what country has the highest rate of vaccinations.
 
To be followed by a whole lot of dying, coming to a State near you, I live in another State working on the same theory, ignore the virus and it will just go away, or you will. Get your vaccination the second you can folks, Seriously.

Fear mongering.

Random numbers are not data. Argument from randU fallacy.
