    Yes they are transitioning to a new system. IT guys have been here all week... and i trust the nurses that are no longer wearing their masks as much over you.

    Point is it's not gone, and mandates being lifted are for political expediency. I know many nurses who said masks were bullshit in most situations and I know some who lost their jobs over vaccine mandates.

    If you believe masks made any measurable difference, you believe a lie. Look no further than deaths by state and rationalize states that did very little as far as mandates/lockdowns go and those that lockdown hard.
    People I talk to here in woke King County like to bring up the low death rate in Washington as an example that it all worked. Would you rather be Florida they ask?

    I answer I’d rather be Utah than Washington, which has an even lower death rate than Washington and had very little mask mandates and has low vaccine uptake in general.

    There are tons of one on one comparables that can make points for both sides. But on the whole that just means there is no correlation between policy and outcomes. So you and I were right.

    Exactly. You look at the deaths by state and you can’t correlate them with mandates. There are other variables to consider. For example, when saying Florida has a worse outcome then Washington, no one is adjusting for the age of the population. When looking at Mississippi’s poor outcomes, no one is adjusting for obesity and race.

    When you factor in the average age of the people living in California and Florida there's hardly any difference in the death rates between the two states. Newsome is now out there crowing about what a great job he did in keeping California's death rate so low when compared to backwaters like Florida.

    I believe the Utes are the healthiest state, might mean something.

    In my view, Mormon's substitute more food (particularly sugar) for no alcohol.

    Could be Colorado, one of those p12 late addition schools has the healthiest population. The Polynesian Mormon factor makes me believe I was thinking Colorado but giving @89ute credit for running marathons
