    No one wants to screw young Democrats more than Cuomo

    Quantum thinking. For every thought, there is a statistical range that you are right. Opposite side of that coin, there is the exact same statistical range you are wrong. Unlike a fair weighted coin, those two sides are not inverse of each other. ive seen many of people chastising people for not agreeing with them and them being wrong when those same people are further displaced from reality than the ones the b**** about. Its better to be 'not wrong' than right.

    Politics doesn't matter to me if guys are abusing women. If Cuomo raped or assaulted women then I would put him in the same abuser category as Trump in a heartbeat.

    I can't tell if you believe Governors can't enforce crowd restrictions or mask mandates or if you are just being argumentative for the pleasure of annoying people.

    because entertainment shows are so bad about teenage and coed life
    They don’t show the known fact that young people want to party

    here’s a clip of what you wanted to happen
    On What’s Happening
    Roger is ready to go to the party but his Mama won’t let him go



    this happened many decades before The bottom area of Clutchfans thinks they are the morale authority of American life

    This is great but we are about to be hit by a large wave from the east, the mask mandate/capacity limits were lifted too soon.

    This has nothing to do with a time like now, with half a million dead from Covid. Of course young people want to party. That's beside the point at a time like no other. Thank God my nephews aren't that selfish. They have acted much more responsible than those fools during the pandemic.

    You keep telling me kids on spring break don’t want to party
    They do
    The ones that don’t that’s their priority
    But partying is necessary for them to feel normal

    Cases in Florida, a national Covid bellwether, are rising — especially among younger people.
    Scientists view Florida — the state furthest along in lifting restrictions, reopening society and welcoming tourists — as a bellwether for the nation.

    If recent trends there are any indication, the rest of the country may be in trouble.

    The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Florida has been steadily rising, though hospitalizations and deaths are still down. Over the past week, the state has averaged nearly 5,000 cases per day, an increase of 8 percent from its average two weeks earlier.

    B.1.1.7, the more contagious variant first identified in Britain, is also rising exponentially in Florida, where it accounts for a greater proportion of total cases than in any other state, according to numbers collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    “Wherever we have exponential growth, we have the expectation of a surge in cases, and a surge in cases will lead to hospitalizations and deaths,” said Bill Hanage, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

    Florida has had one of the country’s most confusing and inefficient vaccination campaigns, and has fully vaccinated about 15 percent of its population — well below what top states, like New Mexico and South Dakota, have managed. Still, immunization of older people and other high-risk individuals may blunt the number of Florida’s deaths somewhat. The state has announced it will start offering the vaccine to anyone over age 18 on April 5.

    At least some of the cases in Florida are the result of the state’s open invitation to tourists. Hordes of students on spring break have descended on the state since mid-February. Rowdy crowds on Miami Beach this month forced officials to impose an 8 p.m. curfew, although many people still flouted the rules.

    Miami-Dade County, which includes Miami Beach, has experienced one of the nation’s worst outbreaks, and continues to record high numbers. The county averaged more than 1,100 cases per day over the past week.

    In Orange County, cases are on the rise among young people. People 45 and younger account for one in three hospitalizations for Covid, and the average age for new infections has dropped to 30.


    Gov. Ron DeSantis has rejected stringent restrictions from the very start of the pandemic. Florida has never had a mask mandate, and in September Mr. DeSantis banned local governments from enforcing mandates of their own. Among his scientific advisers now are architects of the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for political leaders to allow the coronavirus to spread naturally among young people, while the elderly and those with underlying conditions sheltered in place.

    Florida has been very consistent in its approach from the beginning, in that they never moved with the goalposts. The original goal was never to eliminate the spread, but to slow it or control it enough where hospitals would not be overwhelmed, and to protect the elderly and other high risk individuals. The key here is that hospitalizations and deaths are still down, which means their plan is still being executed the way they intended. It's the best balance between protecting lives and livelihoods, I wish more states had employed this common sense approach from the gun.

    As we all should know by now hospitalizations and deaths are the most lagging indicators. In pretty much every surge we've seen of infections in a few weeks that was followed by a surge in hospitalizations and then by deaths.

    The topic nobody talks about for the younger people who go to the hospital is their health conditions

    i'll say it, it's obese young people.

    Hey lots of athletes got the covid in college and in the pros. Why isn't Russell Westbrook in the hospital?
    cause he's way healthier than the obese kids who don't eat right and exercise.

    The difference was that those mistakes were a made year ago, when no one understood the virus and states were making up rules on the fly - and we didn't even think it spread by air. It was thought to be all about surfaces at the time, and thus putting people on a separate floor or isolated was thought to be relatively OK.

    The governors that are doing stupid things now are doing so with full knowledge of the science and data available today.
