I don't know where they're pulling that stat from. But I do know and can see exactly what the CDC's own data shows on cases and deaths by state: Florida has the 7th highest per capita COVID case rate (cases per 100,000 population) since the start of the pandemic, with California well further down on the list. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100k The same CDC site shows cumulative COVID death rates by state, per capita (per 100,000 population): Florida ranks about 17th among 50 states. California about 38th. Florida --301 California -- 199 Edited January 30, 2022 by TallGuyJohninBKK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of dying from covid is higher if someone is old or fat, so if your point is that older, fatter people vote red then you would have a valid point. I don't think covid itself really cares about which way someone voted or where they live. The chances of catching it seems higher in California than Florida according to the data despite all their crazy covid restrictions. I specifically choose 2 states that have similar a climate and are polar opposites politically to make a point. If your theory is a valid one then you should be able to apply it to any state and not need to engage in whataboutary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kind of set the example of how the state manage covid. If people would just use common sense. There are three very easy things that you can do to try to prevent getting the virus and/or spreading it: social distance, wash your hands and wear a mask. And getting vaccinated reduces the risk of you ending up in ICU. And in red states more people are less inclined to do any of these things, which would mean that more people get covid and more people die from covid. The governor of Missouri had some research done to see how effective masks were, so he could tell his people that mask mandated were useless. The research showed, however, that masks worked. And what did the governor do? He tried to suppress that data. How stupid/ignorant/dangerous/irresponsible (take your pick) are you then? I mean, here’s a governor with information that could actually save lives, and he decided to sit on it. What a jackass. And we all know what Ron DeSantis did to hide data from the people in Florida.

Despite your personal opinions or rather badly masked prejudices, like it or not Thailand along with other less developed nations have been highlighted as world leaders in the way they dealt with the covid crisis. I'm sure mistakes have been made here which you choose to highlight whilst ignoring the chaos and lockdowns and riots in civilised europe, the resurgence in australia, the idiocy in NZ, the USA/UK death rates the horror of China..Compared to the rest of the world Thailand has done well mainly due to the people not the goverment.
