What is this? Why do you enjoy dumping on FL so much? It’s not even sharing numbers anymore - you really come across as gloating that a state may do worse than NY.
But without a lot of mitigation (encouraging stay at home, closing indoor spaces where this spreads the most) it will take longer for the decline to start than in places that were actually shut down during their peaks. Florida is likely in for a longer period of a plateau of 8-10,000 new cases per day before a decline actually begins.
I am telling you as an outsider (neither from NY or FL) that is not at all the way your posts come across. You appear to get great enjoyment in how poorly FL has done.
A few good things in the news at the moment like the new treatment you describe plus a very accurate antibody test and also highly encouraging progress being made with the vaccine trials.
How does their death rate compare?
There's a lot of room for fudging and FL's numbers would still be better. How about death rates in other states outside of FL? How do those compare with NY?
They were bad. He worsened the situation by putting COVID patients in nursing homes. Not impressed with him at all. He did a great deal to drive the hysteria and fear.
It’s not at all irrelevant. NY has to own their numbers. Why is so hard for you to admit NY may have gotten some things wrong? It doesn’t take away from what they got right. It really doesn’t matter if FL’s ends up being higher or not; NY’s death rate is really high (and they are not alone in their numbers coming from LTC - 79% of the deaths in my county do too, as did many of FL’s early deaths).
