Your retweets are devoid of fact. Much like Desantis’ Covid reports.

And the whines about mask mandates...no wonder we are going to have a white Christmas America is full of anti-masker snowflakes.

I don't see any stats refuting the chart that I posted. Was the article from a British tabloid all you could find? What about the state of the Florida economy vs. NY, CA, NJ, and IL? Does it matter that those states are destroying businesses and lives through their forced closures and other restrictions?

Wouldn’t matter if I found 50 articles and wrote a dissertation. Desantis is a Trumpy so he has your undying loyalty. 

Are you literally trying to say people are in more danger because they aren’t going in bars, restaurants,etc. and are required to wear masks?  Seriously ? 

Businesses are being destroyed, but if the world was wide open what would be happening.  Not everywhere is as magical as Florida.  

It’s where a real stimulus bill would come in.  The longer this lasts the worse it will be.

Over 99 percent of COVID-19 patients recover. Shutting down businesses is overkill. The country cannot afford to destroy its economy and write endless checks to people who are displaced from the economy by lockdowns. There is no evidence that shutting down businesses is slowing the spread of the virus. If there is not clear and convincing evidence that masks and lockdowns are decreasing the spread of the disease, then what sense does it make to continue to forcibly close businesses?

Besides the COVID-19 recovery rates, looking at the death and growth rates for the U.S. also does not show a significant difference between 2019 and 2020. That suggests that many of the pandemic victims would have died in 2020 had they not been infected - or the deaths caused by other causes declined because people adopted healthier habits because of the pandemic.
