    It's data from the CDC. You have no argument.

    Been there several times during the months of October and November. Friendly people, good food and the downtown area is quite nice. Wild games are a lot of fun.

    I wish Htown was a nice downtown and we had an NHL team.

    Thanks for that last sentence to remind me what a Wild game is. Without it I would have thought it was just capitalized because it was the start of the sentence and would still be sitting here wondering what you were referring to.

    It's old data mate.

    Want to check latest data? In the past 7 days cases in CA per 100k is 65.8 and FL is 147 per 100k.

    Additionally cases since beginning of pandemic is 9,018 for FL and 8,918 for CA. The article under quoted CDC by 100/100000

    source: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100klast7days

    It's data from the CDC. You have no argument.

    LOL, you are trying to use a 7-day sample size? That's absurd. Get out of here with that statistically useless data set, bruh.

    FL and CA have near identical COVID stats. CA ruined their economy and deprived their citizens of their liberties and civil rights... and now the Fed has to bail them out. FL is surging and people are moving there in droves to be free. California locked people down, Florida lifted people up. It's not even debatable. The data has spoken.

    CASE CLOSED

    Wrong again, I posted the 7 day sample size IN ADDITION to the size since pandemic. The article you quoted, misrepresented the number saying both states had 8,900.

    Lol, Australians and New Zealanders did the same to their subsequent residents. Much “worse” lockdowns than Californians and the results were FAN-FU[K|NG-TASTIC!

    CASE CLOSED!

    LOL, wow you are very weak at statistics. Not only did you use a useless, 7-day sample size, but you also posted overall rates per 100k (which you mislabeled) that were within 1.2% of each other. That's basically the same number, my man. And California locked down and bankrupted their state and their people while punishing their citizens by denying them their liberties. Meanwhile Florida did the opposite. And they had virtually the same virus results. You proved my point for me quite nicely, mate!

    GOOD DAY

    LOL I guess you lack basic reading skills. It clearly wasn't mislabeled, unlike your article which said both had 8,900 ;)

    Florida had a TON of cases and deaths.

    Australia and New Zealand had lockdowns more severe than California (the opposite of Florida) and are basically down to nil. They absolutely violated "punished their citizens and denied them of their basic liberties." I guess their actual data doesn't count! ;)

    GOOD DAY!

    Let me know when you can turn the united states into an island 1/50 of its size and turn its citizens into obedient little drones.

    My current conclusion is FL has done it right. Just has I have explained a couple times in this thread, lifting the mandate means little. Most people will still wear masks and the vast majority of businesses will require masks. There is too big of a liability for big businesses not to have this requirement. FL also placed strict guide lines on elder care. Healthcare is still strict. They kept their sick patients in hospitals instead of sending them back to retirement homes. Cuomo is one of the biggest idiots on this planet and so many here worshipped him in the early days.

    One of the biggest argument flaws pro California, New York, and New Zealand fail to understand is that as a collective (in the United States and many other countries in the world), those who were the least at risk (teenagers and early 20's) did not abide by any of the mandates. If people kept their social groups to the same 15-20 people, the virus would not be such a big issue. Instead, people have kept to 5-10 but cycled out different people.
