DeSantis for the win

And if he had been shutting down and locking down over and over and erasing immunity form the healthy how many more would have died? You can never know can you...
Don't forget florida has thousands and thousands of people from Canada bringing Covid down to it for the winter... and NY NJ Ct and all these big blue Covid death states....
And how many lives did he not destroy with his pro freedom policies... a great many ... I would bet.
It look to me like DeSantis did a great job.
There were only 2 useful approaches... shut down borders and lock down until the virus was eradicated... or do what Texas and Florida and Sweden did... but maybe protect the high risk even better.
Partial lockdowns have been proven to be a disaster with many places like Ontario having to lockdown 2 times this year alone. Why did first one fail so bad this year that they had to lockdown again?

Neither can the 761 others that died in other states. Florida's fault there, too?
Corrected to 92 dead yesterday. But 93 more today, and the cases went up some. Those aren't the numbers of a state that has Covid licked. A very real possibility that they've opened up a little early.
They opened up just in time for the summer season to start in Florida in June when everyone goes indoors.
Please point me to the post where you "squashed it". In order to squash something, the other party also has to remember it.
As for Toronto, can you show me the stats on Toronto? I've seen Ontario but not been able to locate Toronto by itself. Please educate me so we can do apples to apples comparisons in cities.
Also, North Dakota has had a "ton of COVID"? Because I see less than 10 deaths a day for the last 3 months. Think the worst day they ever had was 40. So what's the "ton of COVID"? they are number 13 in deaths per 1M pop and #1 on cases per 1M pop - maybe that's what you mean? But I'd ask you where in North Dakota this problem has occurred. Because if you're going to claim that a sparsely populated state like North Dakota is still a problem, you'd better be sure the "problem" isn't happening in one city, because that defeats the sparsely populated argument if they're all living together, right? I mean, you should be able to get this basic logic - supposedly you're a Mensa member. (North Dakota State website on COVID)
Death counts matter more than any other stat - always have maintained this and have never said otherwise.
I'm trying to keep the discussion civil, because I don't want to upset you and have you threaten to sue Baron for posts on this forum again. Of course, you could always put me on ignore for the fifth time if things get out of hand, right?

curious, we've been open since last June. What do you mean "we've opened up".
You'll start to see case rates rise in the sunbelt in the next two months (June/July). Just like they did last year. Not because of masks, not because of DeSantis or vaccines or anything else. Because that's the curve.
As his says "it requires the ability to process data". Not emotion.

Did DeSantis overrule all local restrictions last June allowing COVID to spread unimpeded by local common sense restrictions for the benefit of public health.
No, that was a new development. Nothing has changed from that "overruling". Everything is still open, all schools are still in attendance, all malls full, all beaches full, nothing at all has changed. Every store requires a mask.
So what is new? What has "opened"?
