California did it the right way.
And yet, here we are.
California - the country's largest and richest state - is the new epicenter of America's coronavirus crisis, with unprecedented surges of seriously infected patients threatening to overwhelm hospitals and overflow morgues.
The state is reporting unnerving numbers: California has set nationwide records for new cases again and again in the past week - most recently on Wednesday, when it posted more than 41,000 infections. If California were a country, it would be among the world leaders in new covid-19 cases, ahead of India, Germany and Britain.

Sounds grim
Hopefully Biden does more of the same -
Saint Gavin and Queen Nancy will save them.

Cases don't matter.

Inslee will start instituting sympathy lockdowns here out of respect for Californians.

Striking data considering:
1) Similar Climate
2) High Density Populations in big cities
3) Completely opposite public health strategy
Lockdowns clearly don't work. But we knew that.

Yeah makes me wonder is the masks are effective... nope unless you have an n95

Well, I live in San Mateo County. Looking at a smaller set of data, it appears every time they close us down, the worse it gets. I really think let me people do their thing, data wise, has been the best action.

CA just needed more time to get their guys in there. But still, they've got some work to do to catch up to FL.DoogieMcDoogerson said:Striking data considering:

Lockdowns clearly don't work. But we knew that.
FL - 950 Deaths / 1M
CA - 563 Deaths / 1M
We'll have to see how it shakes out in the end. -
Also noteworthy, one state has a cratered economy and one doesn’t. Similar total deaths, Cali in the lead there currently.YellowSnow said:

California can do what it wants.
Just returned from 10 days in Florida.
Everyone in masks.
Go figure. -
No. Not similar total deaths. FL almost double per capita.Bob_C said:

I think the lock downs are mostly FS and counter productive. But let’s CA cordwood has been way lower than FL and that’s fact. -

Yella is talking deaths per million. More people in Cali, hence a lower rate of death. He's also saying that Cali might catch up because nothing we do seems to really work in the long run.Bob_C said:

But South Dakota!

Shutdown the state. Eliminate competition. Newsom’s winery gets to stay open. Profit!

Yella has to account for the fact that Florida has a much older population...it’s basically people 75+ dying from this.
-
500 or 950 out of a million doesn’t matter.
It’s foolish to destroy small businesses for some old people near death anyhow. As Obama said, give the Olds pills and let them die in a fog of opiates as life goes forward for everyone else. -
He said total deaths not similar. I showed that was wrong. But anyways, you see totals referenced when it serves and you see ratios when it serves.theknowledge said:

My bad if I misread your earlier comment. At the end of the day, per capita is the more relevant stat than total deaths.Bob_C said:

Yeah, I would suspect higher percentage of really olds in FL is playing a role here.HoustonHusky said:Yella has to account for the fact that Florida has a much older population...it’s basically people 75+ dying from this.
CA is also 40% Hispanic compared with 23% for Florida. From what I can gather there is a higher prevalence of co-morbidities (e.g, diabetes) within the Hispanic community. -
Also lots of Cuban's in Florida are largely of Spanish ancestry. Lots of Hispanics in Cali have lots of Indian blood. Indians have a genetic prevalence to develop diabetes in a high carb/sugar diet.YellowSnow said:
