California has nearly double the population of Florida with only 20k more deaths. Without the lockdown there would have been hundreds of thousands of deaths

California was negligent. Most of their deaths came this past December. How long did they have to prepare for this? They had oxygen issues because of bad pipes/infrastructure. Wouldn't that be something you make sure is A-1 BEFORE you become the epicenter of the pandemic? They got caught with their pants down after critiquing everyone else's response.

Were the lockdowns a mistake? To that nagging question, the answer increasingly seems to be yes.

Certainly, they were a novelty. As novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “We’ve never before responded to a contagion by closing down whole countries.” As I noted in May, the 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 75,000 and 116,000 people in the United States, between 0.04% and 0.07% of the nation’s population then. The 1968-69 Hong Kong flu killed about 100,000, 0.05% of the population.

The current death toll of 185,000 is 0.055% of the current population. It will go higher, but it’s about the same magnitude as those two flu outbreaks and less deadly for those under 65. Yet, there were no statewide lockdowns, no massive school closings, no closed office buildings and factories, restaurants, and museums. No one even considered shutting down Woodstock.

yall do understand that about 1% of people use masks properly (putting them on with a fresh pair of sterile gloves, not touching it barehanded EVER, and discarding it after one use) and 99% of people use them in a way that is actually more condusive to contracting as well as spreading the virus.

Just all the more reason to get vaccinated :yeshrug:

Why are southerners so rebellious? It’s not just whites, look at my city, ATL. It’s the party capital of the country. My sister told me she got caught up in Traffic on Moreland cause nikkas were out partying and riding bikes like it’s Freaknik 2021.

Simple the south was not hit as hard as New York &California.

Yeah this is just to take away from the blackout fiasco. Noticed he also said business can still enforce masks if they want. Meaning if people die/get sick it’s not on the state of Texas.

Abbott and most of the lawmakers in Texas are racists pieces of shyt. Especially his Lt. Gov, he’s not even covert. Abbott’s crippled ass was at George Floyd’s funeral. I wish it was him in the casket instead of George.

People lost their lives less than two weeks ago in a blackout because of his negligence.

Yeah he’s never had to notify a family that their loved one died of covid, and he’s never had to do Post Mortem care on a person who died from covid, only to put them a freezer outside that’s already stuffed with bodies from victims of the disease...

Variants are popping up and cases will rise again, then what? Everyone Texas keep wearing your masks and practicing social distance.

The biggest issue is the lack of care during the storm. Cuomo killed over 12,000 people and none of you Kats is giving him shyt.
