No more than two questions per post please. You sound like my kids when they are in the car with me. 1 1 Link to comment

The reason DeSantis can threaten to withdraw funding for schools who wish to impose mask mandates - despite his state leading the country hospitalizations amongst children (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/news/health/2021/08/02/florida-leads-the-nation-in-kids-hospitalized-for-covid/%3foutputType=amp) - is because of blind support for the Republican in his state - other "Archy1221's" who also regurgitate blind conservative talking points. By your own admission with your post history, he is your choice to be the Republican candidate for President. While I'm glad you voted across party lines, it doesn't excuse who you support nationally. It's a Republican-race-to-the-bottom in order to be the 2024 nominee which you're participating in. Whatever you say my man. I think we all understand the singular point you have been trying to get across for weeks now. 1 minute ago, commando said: if you don't have the answers just say so.

DevoHusker Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 https://www.vox.com/coronavirus-covid19/22456544/covid-19-mask-mandates-lockdown-debate-evidence And yet, looking at the case and death numbers since the coronavirus pandemic began, it’s not obvious which states were cautious and which were not. New York, the original epicenter of the outbreak, has endured the second most deaths per capita behind New Jersey (271 per 100,000). Florida and Texas, despite much criticism of their laissez-faire approaches, rank right in the middle among states (26th and 24th, respectively) in the number of deaths per 100,000 people. California fared only marginally better, sitting at 30th. The one Covid-19 intervention that definitely worked was mask mandates.The evidence on lockdowns may be dicey, but the science on masks is clear: They work. Even experts I spoke with who think harsh lockdowns may have been counterproductive say indoor mask mandates were clearly effective. 2 2 Link to comment

commando Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 if only there was something that worked better than masks. maybe something developed under the former president and pushed by the current president so both sides could agree to use it? if only there were something like that. Link to comment
deedsker Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Using new Geography's rankings of urban population percentages, you would expect states with higher percentages of urbanized citizens to struggle more with COVID-19. https://www.newgeography.com/content/005187-america-s-most-urban-states https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Just doing a straight ranking of urbanized population minus deaths per population rank, you can get a general sense of which states over or under performed based on their population density. *Includes DC as 51 Best states*: 1 Hawaii 2 Utah 3 DC* 4 California 5 Washington 6 Oregon 7 Colorado 8 Florida 9 Maryland 10 Nevada Worst States*: 42 South Carolina 43 Indiana 44 West Virginia 45 Louisiana 46 Iowa 47 North Dakota 48 Arkansas 49 Alabama 50 South Dakota 51 Mississippi Limitations include New Jersey, Massachussets, Rhode Island, and Arizona which already have high urbanization and were high on deaths. Also, Maine and Vermont couldn't do much better considering their low urbanization and low on deaths. Link to comment

I think we all understand the singular point you have been trying to get across for weeks now. Only two answers per post My singular point is that Republican leadership is causing harm to their constituency through their policies regarding masks (as well as right wing messaging regarding vaccines). The fault lies with the voter's who support them no matter what, just like Ron DeSantis - the leading non-Trump candidate - who banned any laws regarding mask mandates even in schools. This is despite his state leading the country in hospitlzations among children. The DeSantis/Abbot race to the bottom would be funny if people weren't dying as a result. Let me ask you this: who would you vote for in these hypothetical 2024 races? Biden vs Trump Biden vs Abbot Biden vs DeSantis Link to comment
