Florida and Texas, both, less of a problem than others... in spite of not imposing the draconian measures that others have ? Odd how that's being ignored... still... even while excess is sustained in some places... ? The lockdowns appear to make the problem worse. Florida focused far more effort on more vulnerable populations and basically ignored those who weren't at elevated risk... and that worked great, without destroying the economy and killing small businesses... which appears it was (and remains) a purposeful goal in more liberal enclaves. Failing to adjust quarantine measures for changes in the nature of the risk, over time, makes things worse. The quarantines were made irrelevant, or deliberately harmful, at the point when vitamin D with zinc and hydroxychloroquine were proven to prevent excess mortality... throw in remdesivir and ivermectin... and the mortality rates were driven far below 1%... making the refusal to end the draconian lockdowns criminal acts. Closing people up in close quarters.... known to make things worse ? So, let's do that ? Isolating people from their social support networks... known to make things worse ? So, let's do that ? I think there are yet to be acknowledged consequences that will be coming... for those who made poor choices... ignoring the science to impose a political agenda... The stupidity of forcing people to wear masks that don't work... ? Obviously more about politics than viruses. Once the initial lie was told... that "you don't benefit from wearing a mask"... only because they wanted to preserve N95 mask supplies to ensure the hospitals had masks ? Why didn't they ever go back to correct that error ? And, again... once they learned that the N95 masks were ineffective... never did impose a requirement for the use of masks... that do work ? N100 masks... WORK... so why was there never a push to upgrade masks from N95 to N100 ? And, now that you have a very good understanding of how "the system" works... putting its own political interests ahead of the truth... ahead of concern with health... and ahead of all other interests... what should be done about it ?
