You really too slow that you can't figure out basic things like population?

Texas has the highest death rate of those three, at 1524 deaths/million
Florida is next, with 1450 deaths/million
California is the lowest of the three, with 1332 deaths/million

And that's despite the fact that both Florida (warm humid weather) and Texas (10x lower population density) have big advantages to slow the spread that California doesn't have.

If California had the same death rate as Texas, they would have 8000 more people dead right now. But because California is so much more densely populated than Texas is, if they had moved like Texas it would likely be more like 20,000 more people dead at least.
True, but the argument is that we don't know what the long tail of the economic ramifications of California's lockdown. That's where cost benefit analysis comes in. Economists and experts will be studying this for years.

“Within a few months, experts say every Texan who wants a vaccine, will be able to get a shot,” said Abbott.

So why end the mask mandate now? :snoop:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says it's time to "open Texas 100%" and ended the statewide mask mandate, effective next Wednesday, citing downward trends in hospitalizations

Jeez, I wonder what has helped cause that downward trend?

Right wing Americans are the absolute worst :pacspit:

My Pops Forever RIP
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.
None of y’all were either. Every time there was a video of a truck filled with bodies y’all thought it was fake.


Nobody who thought covid-19 wasn’t a big deal gets to chastise someone for how many people died due to Covid-19
