DeSantis for the win

It is important however to note that the medical experts ( the good ones ) raised the right red flags in the early days and were routinely mocked or dismissed by many people. Which in my opinion tends to make people on the fence on safety precautions take extra risks, and gives some deniers a feeling they can act as they want without impunity.

The fact we have several posters on here openly denying the virus as a risk helps denote the lunatic fringe will always exist and the internet gives them a voice. I don't consider you to be a virus denier but do think you are trying to hard to minimize the risk using data that can change rapidly in even a month.

If the "experts" didn't change their mind or make ridiculous forecasts, they would have more credibility. But we heard from them about how the virus wasn't even contagious through the air at one point, or then how masks didn't work. This was one of the forecasts for Florida. It is outdated, but even if we updated it, it wouldn't come close to where we were told we would be. This is why people take a different stance.

Sweden is a complete failure... we don't want to follow their poor example.

Based on what statistic is Sweden a failure? And please don't try to cite some "expert". I can show you "experts" that support what Sweden does. To eliminate subjectivity, what statistic is bad in Sweden and why?

There is an entire thread showing why Sweden is a failure. Go read it.

Remember you stated today you don't read articles and statistics anyway. So there is very little purpose in reposting the information again.

Did I say I don't read statistics and articles, or did I say I don't read many of your articles ? Because I'm pretty sure I said the latter.

I just figured you might want to clarify what makes Sweden a total failure. Because in the Sweden thread, you've yet to prove that apart from your opinion - which you are totally entitled to have.
 
Nobody is happy about it. This was a fully preventable problem if DeSantis had taken proper action. The fault lies entirely with him as the Florida's governor.

You're not fooling anyone. You're thrilled whenever you can wake up, rush to the thread and post bad stuff. There's absolutely no question in my mind how giddy you are about it. Covertibility is another just like that.

The facts and figures show Sweden is a complete failure. They managed not only to kill more of their residents per capita then neighboring countries but managed to tank their economy while doing it.

I've read the entire thread. I don't see it at all as a failure, especially when compared to other European countries. Happy to speak about a specific number you believe shows "complete failure". Or you can just continue saying "read the thread" and I can continue saying "I did, and haven't changed my mind".

Just because you want to compare them to "neighboring countries" and not other countries is just cherry picking statistics. Also don't see evidence of them "tanking" their economy. Even Covertibility's chart from Krugman shows them at the top of the graph.
