The left loves to trash FLA but when all is said and done how have they really fared with Covid in regards to cases/deaths etc?

Don't pay attention to cases. They're irrelevant. The death count has been flat line since late June.

Shouldn’t pay attention to deaths considering what is counted as Covid death - ie any death where a person tested positive for Covid in the last 30-60 days or maybe even longer. And the tests are super sensitive in the US - even NYT has reported on this. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html

(DuckDuckGo Covid test cycle threshold 35)

They don't even need a test. Just having symptoms (like a fever) is enough for doctors to include "Covid-19" as a cause of death. Not to mention the hospitals get financial incentives to do so.

Just take the CDC number and apply 6%.

16k deaths in 9 months.

I want to fight for the families who are getting screwed out of AD&D and other insurance payouts because the death certificate is filled out incorrectly for covid instead of what actually occurred.

The death count has been flat line steadily declining since late June.

Yea cases don't mean shit. Especially when the tests are basically 50/50 for anyone.

In fact we're finding that deaths don't really mean shit, as many predicted, because anyone with a cough can be diagnosed as covid+ with/without a test, so if they die, that's a covid death.

I guess that's why overall deaths haven't increased in places with "the WoRsT CoViD PoLiCiEs!!1!"

AZ has 7 deaths / day. This is so minute, that its laughable how people fear for their lives over this. The average age of death is 82 with 95% of them having a per-existing condition.

The actual death count is 6% of what's reported. Run the numbers and you end up with 63 deaths in the US per day.

One person, per state, per day.

Florida is doing better than many states even with their much less restrictive rules. It just shows that all this bullshit doesn't work unless you go full China and lock people in their homes, but fuck that.

It's a real virus that came from China. They definitely used it to shut down protests and all their numbers are a lie, but it's real. Then they purposely spread it to other countries as fast as possible and lied about it's severity to cripple the world.

Not to mention it was a bio-engineered virus that targets elderly, obese, and sick people. China has a huge problem coming soon with the result of their one-child policy. There will be millions of elderly people with no one to take care of them but the government. I guarantee they engineered this to remove the problem populations from their country.

It was patented in Europe back in 2015. Millions of "test kits" were sold and distributed internationally in 2017-2018. Yet it still has not officially been isolated in a titer usable for these tests, which begs the question, what is really being test for in people and in those vaccines?

I have to move from Florida. Northerners are flocking down here. I sold my house in a day, for the asking price even when my realtor said "I am placing it higher than it should because I think you may actually get it."

Boom, one day. Sold. To a Northerner. They hate the North's policies.

the amazing thing is we have so many old people here our death rate should be one of the highest. but we locked down nursing homes until we had enough info to protect the residents instead of shipping covid patients there, and it has made all the difference in the world.

Doesn’t matter, all of these numbers are so fucking inflated but it pales in comparison to Kamala’s notch count.
