Study: Democrat States New York and California Had the Worst Covid Response; The State With the Best Covid Response Was...
...wait for it...
... DeathSantis' Nether-Peninsula of Woe

#FollowTheScience.

Okay, I lied in the headline for clickability. I learned that from the media.

Florida wasn't rated as having the best covid response, but as one of the best. It gets an "A," along with five other states. Three states got A+'s.

The Committee To Unleash Prosperity (CUP) has released the most comprehensive analysis to date on how states handled the COVID-19 crisis. These results have also been published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The Report Card on the States measures and compares state performance on three metrics: the economy, education, and mortality from the virus. It answers the question: how did states do in balancing the health of their citizens, allowing their economies to remain operational and keeping job losses low, and keeping their schools open so that school-aged children did not suffer long term educational setbacks.

Each of these three metrics were equally weighted. The states that received an F grade were New Jersey, New York, California, Illinois and Washington, D.C. These states performed poorly on every measure. They had high age-adjusted death rates; they had high unemployment and significant GDP losses, and they kept their schools shutdown much longer than almost all other states.

The top performers were Utah, Nebraska, and Vermont with Montana and Florida right behind.

The study verifies other studies which have found that locking down businesses, stores, churches, schools, and restaurants had almost no impact on health outcomes across states. States with strict lockdowns had virtually no better performance in Covid death rates than states that remained mostly open for business.

The study also found that keeping schools closed had almost no impact on the death rates of children or adults, but it did severe damage to the educational progress of students.

"Shutting down their economies and schools was by far the biggest mistake governors and state officials made during Covid, particularly in blue states," said CUP Co-Founder Stephen Moore. "We hope the results of this study will persuade governors not to close schools and businesses the next time we have a new virus variant."

The states that locked down their economies have had unemployment rates on average about two percentage points higher than states that did not engage in severe lockdowns. These high state unemployment rates have persisted for two years now. Most lockdown states have still not fully recovered t the jobs lost in the early months of Covid.

Throughout the pandemic many in the media compared two of America's four largest states: California and Florida. Florida was often times criticized by health officials and the media for remaining open and California was often praised for remaining locked down. This study shows that the death rate in the states when adjusting for age and other comorbidities were nearly the same. But Florida's economy performed much better than California's, and Florida kids lost far fewer days of schooling than did kids in California.

The ongoing, lifelong damage to Florida's children will be far less than that inflicted on California's.

Florida's rank as far as covid deaths was 22. California's was 18. And California shut down fascistically hard -- Shanghai hard -- whereas Florida remained open.*

So what, exactly, did California's Endless Lockdowns accomplish, apart from making sure the French Laundry was easy for Gavin Newsom to get a table at?

* Note that this study seems to have adjusted the death rate according to "age and metabolic health" (metabolic health = fitness vs. obesity), so the usual thing we say about California's and Florida's very similar covid death rates -- that Florida has a much older population, and so would be expected to have higher covid death rates -- seems to have been compensated for already.

But also note that #22 and #18 are barely a click away from each other.

7 that Florida has a much older population, and so would be expected to have higher covid death rates

-----------------

You are saying a state with a high death rate could also have a high Covid death rate?

Strange.

28 Between #18 & #22, sounds like it would be based on a percentage of population.

While FL's average trends much older, it would lead you to be believe that they should have been higher on the list. CA should have a lower average age for their population, they should have been lower on the list.

So lower average age, #18 CA, their were more COVID deaths. Higher average age, #22 FL, had less COVID deaths. CA's policies killed more.

It's not the quality of the COVID response that did any of this. The only factor that mattered was which governors were loyal to Putin.

Places like California and NY have responsible, patriotic government that put Americans ahead of Russians, so the Russians punished them with more COVID. DeSantis is a tool of Russia and the Russians took it easy on Florida.

I think of the alternate COVID timeline for Florida, had DeSantis lost to that coked up leftist loser that was his opponent, and shudder.

104 COVID is important. Because it is important, it is important to understand how to response to COVID is important because response is important, too. When it comes the importance of response, you must have a response. California and New York had a comprehensive response, which is important given how important COVID is. The comprehensive response is more important than a reduced response. A reduced response is important, too, but in a bad way. Florida's response to this important problem is important because of how non-responsive it was compared to the states that treated this important problem with an adequate amount of importance. COVID is important and what's important to remember is how we responded to COVID by doing the right things at the right times, which we're still doing today because right now it's important to do what we are already doing.

109 Florida has also been leading the way on passing laws to stop the spread of the cult of woke-ism in public schools.

We don't allow public school teachers to proselytize little kids into believing that Christian beliefs are the only true ones, and we don't allow teachers to put Christian flags in classrooms. Yet in public school rooms across the country now, we have teachers teaching kids that homosexual behavior is something that should be celebrated and encouraged, that there are multiple genders, and that human beings can change their biological sex on a whim. And rainbow flags are in schools everywhere.

113 * Note that this study seems to have adjusted the death rate according to "age and metabolic health" (metabolic health = fitness vs. obesity), so the usual thing we say about California's and Florida's very similar covid death rates -- that Florida has a much older population, and so would be expected to have higher covid death rates -- seems to have been compensated for already.

118 Florida is the biggest and most important beacon of hope for sanity in the country today. They're fighting the culture war more seriously than anyone else, they're telling Washington to fuck off when it comes to extralegal nonsense like COVID, they've reformed their elections (at least somewhat) and are going toe-to-toe with the "private sector" enforcers of malicious policy.

And to think that all of this happened in a state that was a hair's breadth away from having Andrew Gillum as governor and where DeSantis barely overcame the margin of fraud.

Are the lockdown/starvation reports from Shanghai true? I have come to believe that the horror stories out of China early in the COVID phenomenon were an op designed to spread fear and maximize the economic and social damage in other countries.

Is this another op, or is the CCP genuinely shooting itself in the foot over this?

Since each new variant is less dangerous, and their economy is already crumbling, I don't see what's in it for them to do this for real.

I'm in the same predicament. After my final 2 year stay to foil capital gains taxes I'm free to flee this horrible third world hell hole. FL would be at the top of the list except for the above. Mostly bugs. A friend's daughter sent a photo of the inside of her coffee maker - and it wasn't coffee filling it up. I'm getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

So, I need to build a concrete bunker and hire somebody to spray it every 7 hours or as needed. And clear a 200' radius of all vegetation around home. And, carry a blowtorch. Then, AZ suddenly seems not so bad, even if the outside temps melt the soles of your shoes as you sprint to the mailbox and back. And, actually have to cool the swimming pool.

Also: while FL is right now a free, open, and desirable state, that could change in one election cycle. Don't forget that NYC under Rudy Giuliani was free, open, and desirable. Then look what happened. So to the lucky mofos in FL now: enjoy it while you got it. Nothing lasts forever.

338 Most fundamental underlying fantasy/unscientific premise here?

That there is a public health/policy "response" to an already prevalent highly infectious virus. Outcomes will vary as always from place to place, without any statistically significant correlation to "policies" - masks, distancing, lockdowns, everything.

Only things that can change the score would be an actual vaccine (sterilizing, prevents transmission) or therapies.

This is basic epidemiology arithmetic. But the institutions and most of the professions are garbage, the populace is largely the same, and this is the pathetic situation you get.

Also: while FL is right now a free, open, and desirable state, that could change in one election cycle. Don't forget that NYC under Rudy Giuliani was free, open, and desirable. Then look what happened. So to the lucky mofos in FL now: enjoy it while you got it. Nothing lasts forever.

413 I said it at the time, I knew this was all bullshit in two moments. Moment One was the cruise ships like Diamond Princess. If the 'Rona didn't kill them all, when documented cases of something as simple as dysentery absolutely cripple these things, then the 'Rona was just not that big of a deal.

Moment Two was when they started shutting everybody out of work. Because that's not the standard reply to any kind of pandemic response, as practiced by FEMA. If they really thought two million people were going to die ? They wouldn't give you or me the option to stay home. They'd compel the proles to work, to produce whatever they can, right up until they fall over and die.

Don't believe me ? Go read the FEMA charter. Better yet, practice with them. You don't have to be "connected" to do that - something as simple as being on the right volunteer fire department is all you have to do.

435 Our worthless, pole smoking Governor in CO, Polis, was on some video live chat last October where he excitedly told of how he and his husband and their two adopted kids were going to spend Halloween. They were going to trick-or-treat inside of their house going from room to room to search for pennies. You read that right, pennies not candy.

He got savaged by people in the chat. Not only is he a cheap son of a bitch (with his money) but put on a ridiculous display of how he was going to keep his kids safe.

What a tool.

436 Havn't heard David "Holy and Pure" French's take on this. Wonder why?


"Anessa Paige Gower is a California teacher arrested on child molestation charges accusing her of sexually abusing at least seven students, prosecutors say. Gower was a biology teacher at Making Waves Academy, a charter school in Richmond. Gower was arrested in April 2022, the Contra Costa District Attorney's Office said in a press release. She is facing 29 charges."

" According to the San Jose Mercury-News, Gower is not the first teacher accused of child molestation in recent years at Making Waves Academy. Middle school teacher Ronald Guinto was convicted in 2017 of 87 felonies accusing him of sexually abusing 15 boys at a youth outdoor camp he created, the newspaper reported. Guinto was sentenced to 931 years in state prison."

468 248 If Republicans don't promise to close the border and send every one of Putin's Illegal Immigrants back to Mexico, they won't get my vote. I just went to our local post office and we are being overrun.
________

The numbers of third-world poor overrunning our borders now is staggering, but the numbers who are on the way here are even worse.

And the media basically ignores it.

But when these illegal aliens kids show up in your local schools, and property taxes sky-rocket because Americans have to pay for them to learn English and get caught up to grade level, etc., people will notice. And when you go to your local ER and have to wait in line behind 20 or 30 illegal aliens getting their "free" medical care, people will notice. And the billions more dollars that are going to be pissed away every year on food stamps and welfare and various other welfare benefits for the illegal alien hordes falsely claiming "asylum" here are going to increase our ever-expanding debt and taxes. And of course the crime in our cities and towns is going to increase exponentially as all these unvetted third-world criminals and gangs move in. But hey, at least no more mean tweets, right?

The federal government is the one and only control on the national border/immigration. State/local authorities are not permitted to act contrary to the wishes of the federal government unless they are aiding illegality.

So, Abbott may neither close the border nor deport the persons but he can offer them a ride to DC. Sure, it's a BS propaganda stunt but it's all we've got at the moment.
