    Ordinarily, pre-covid, you'd expect about 14 deaths per 2000 (2019 data) in the general population. So if you only have 2 total, you've got a very healthy group.

    Edit: Actually, since you specified 18 months, normally you'd expect 21 deaths per 2000 in that timeframe.

    The current case loads are high all over. Not just Florida. Personally, I don't think he handled the situation irresponsibly. The jury's out on his SG.

    The CDC says all 3 vaccines help to fight breakthrough infections - so getting either one is good. They do say that the mRNA vaccines are more effective - but I am sure that whatever reasons you have are important enough for you - so if you choose that one - that's still a good thing to do.

    Desantis wasted one million Covid tests intended for low-income and elderly at height of crisis, either intentionally or unwittingly, evil or incompetent.

    Care to venture a guess why more folks are moving to Florida than virtually every other state? That's right, because of the reckless, irresponsible behaviors of the governor and other state leaders. Ignorant people.

    Or maybe that's a long-term trend that has nothing to do with the current governor at all.

    I mean, you've moved around a bit. Did you ever move to a state, or decline to move to a state, specifically because of the governor?

    I understand.

    This is unscientific, but I've been hearing a lot of chatter about people fleeing other more (COVID-related) restrictive states and moving to Florida. That said, I'm just saying I sure don't think the Governor - and all the DeathSantis stuff - is precluding anyone from moving there.

    Hard to say. DeSantis said the COVID tests were available, just not ordered. Is that because the SG pooh-poohed getting tested? Dunno.

    At a Thursday news conference, Kevin Guthrie, the director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, told reporters when asked about the state's stockpile: "We had between 800,000 and a million test kits, Abbott rapid test kits, in our warehouse that did expire."

    And people have been moving there since the beginning of time, or at least for many decades.

    The way you phrased your prior reply ('available but not ordered') made me think you were trying to say Florida didn't ever order/receive the tests.

    Taiwan today has 4 cases of covid...their health dept says that masks and border quarantines of one week upon arrival have kept it that safe.....anybody who says masks don't work is full of shit
    They have 100% compliance in public mask wearing....it worked for SARS and it's working for combating Covid as well. Also strict control on travel quarantines have kept their cases that low....23 million people....4 covid cases
