FL and TX - two biggest COVID hotspots in the country

So you leave out the part that most of NY's deaths happened in the first two months because if you kept that in, you'd have to admit that what NY did actually worked to stop the pandemic.

sort of like the fact that you left out the part that NY's deaths are still massively greater thane in every other state except New Jersey, because you wanted to make a distorted and illogical political point that only stupid people fell for.......

Because those deaths happened at the beginning of the pandemic, when we didn't know what we were dealing with because you and Trump were lying about it.

All of FL and TX's deaths happened after that, spread out over multiple months because they couldn't get control of COVID, and believed Trump when he "downplayed it".

except that it isn't true that "all of FL and TX's deaths happened after that.......what IS true is the the number of deaths per million in FL and TX is much lower and in fact lower than the national average, because they didn't fuck things up like NY did.....

NY only has 2,000 more deaths than Texas, and NY's deaths have been lower than Texas' since May 2020.

That's actually what you did, not me.

You distorted the death count to make it appear as if NY fucked up worse than TX, but the part you leave out is that after May 2020, NY got their shit together while Texas didn't.

How come months after NY's deaths stopped, Texas' ramped up? Did they not pay attention to what happened in NY?
 
DeSantis continues to screw the pooch on Covid. He's too busy stripping rights from the LGBTQ community and praying that the Gaetz investigation doesn't suck him in. DeSantis is a disaster. So is Abbott.

Actually, no, Harris County isn't driving the current infection rates in Texas, and never was driving the infection rates in Texas. Harris County might have more cases, because it's the largest county, but its infection rate is lower than most other counties in TX.

So you're doing the same thing PPM did.

Yeah, how many of those deaths in NY happened in the first two months vs. the following 14?

NY's death toll was high at the beginning, but then dropped off precipitously once the restrictions and mandates took effect.

From May 2020 - November 2020, NY's death toll, infection rate, and new case count were among the lowest in the country.

So you leave out the part that most of NY's deaths happened in the first two months because if you kept that in, you'd have to admit that what NY did actually worked to stop the pandemic.

Are those dead people still dead???

As dead as the ones who died in TX and FL in the 14 months after NY.

So explain to me why you think TX and FL did a good job on COVID when those two states led the nation in infections, deaths, and new cases since May 2020?

Did they learn nothing from what happened in NY?
 
Here are the states with the highest positivity rates:

Idaho - 12.9%
Kansas - 12.6%
Alabama - 9.8%
Wyoming - 8.2%
Mississippi - 7.9%
Iowa - 7.2%
Arkansas - 7.2%
Missouri - 6.7%
Kentucky - 6.3%

Florida is still at 4.1% and ranks 15th worst.

What do all of these states have in common? Hmmmm, let me think.

18 of the top 20 states for positivity rate voted for Trump. Nine states have positivity rates less than 1.0%. Eight of those were Biden states. This is not a coincidence. Trumptards are infecting each other. Darwin is having his way.

CA has the lowest infection rate in the country right now.

Texas and Florida are still seeing thousands of new infections a day.

Most of FL & TX's deaths happened long after the NY outbreak, which is weird because other states saw what happened in NY and took precautions, but TX and FL didn't, and as a result, have lead the country since May 2020 in every COVID metric.


population is the corresponding factor in all three - you get more people you get more cases.

Ah, but WHEN were those cases?

Because most of NY's deaths occurred in the first 2 months, then it flatlined for the next 5, before Thanksgiving travel spread the disease all over again.


Infections are meaningless; and so is this thread

No, infections are detrimental to your entire argument, which is why you are trying to render them meaningless.

You're seeking to dismiss it, rather than confront it.

What a fucking coward.
