That's kind of my point. Texas with fewer restrictions has had relatively the same results as California. I don't think Texas is going from 0 to 100, probably more like 70 to 100.

Only because I am a numbers guy

Cases per M
Texas #24
California # 26

Deaths per M
Texas #24
California #30

So yes, relatively the same results

However

Texas could push their numbers up quickly if a few too many people yeehaw

I like numbers as well, much more than arbitrary colors.

Let's not forget that many of the states mentioned as 'success' stories that were 'open' had pretty blatant in-the-sunshine reporting, uh, let's call them 'discrepancies' to be polite.

No one in charge in Texas ever said it was a hoax, or it wasn't a big deal, or there couldn't be a second wave, so don't even try that lie.

The actual data shows the states with severe restrictions have fared approximately the same as the states which were more open. Even the states which were more open were not "running around business as usual". So, this is just another fallacy. There is no evidence based in data that severe lockdowns made a difference.

"No one in Texas said it" They're all jerking the same chain bud, whether you care to admit it or not. You wanna think it's a great idea? Knock yourself out.

Let's not forget in the big picture, any discrepancies at this point are an insignificant amount of the total. Goes both ways as well. We know there were people who "died with covid" and the primary cause of death was something else, yet they were added to the covid death toll.

Nah, you go ahead and knock yourself out. I am sure it won't cause you to suffer any long term effects.

...and I said no one in charge in Texas ever said it was a hoax, so unless you have a quote from Governor Abbott, or someone on his staff you would like to share to convince me otherwise, I will stand by my original statement.

Yeah I'll just kindly agree to disagree heavily.

Regardless the point was more if you're buying heavily on what Texas is saying/reporting you should do the same for CA. Each is it's own shitshow in a different way. Trying to paint either one as a model just reveals a rooting interest.

The pandemic results are roughly the same. One has a more robust economy, personal freedom, schools which are open, and is starting to recover much faster than the other. Yeah, I think the choice is obvious.

"Personal freedom" -- lmao. I think one of the things I can't stand the most about society/culture these days are these loaded phrases and all.....usually with agendas attached, forcing people into positions, painting good/bad over hot topics, etc.

What happened to the good old days of simply living with common sense and being a good person (aka, don't be an idiot and don't be a dick). That's all I really need and live by.

Exactly !! DBAA!

awesome numbers -- i really hope this is the start of the ending and the vaccines are truly working (as opposed to simply just a dip in numbers from the post-holiday time highs)

or possible (low level) herd immunity

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

or possible (low level) herd immunity

I think most of us agree that numbers have been underreported if anything, due to asymptomatic carriers. To me, between that and the vaccines (and the combination of preventative antimeasures) it won't take AS long as predicted for numbers to crater even if we don't have 'true' herd immunity.

You can have common sense and exercise personal freedom. Myself, I would still wear a mask in crowded stores, etc. If you are uncomfortable going to places where people are not wearing masks, then don't go. It's your choice.

You can keep insulting me if it makes you feel better, doesn't phase me one bit.

Who should be believed, infectious disease experts that have devoted their life to this topic, or "KINGS17"? Tough f***ing choice, especially for the morons out there that believe all opinions are created equally.

And that has what exactly to do with Texas lifting all restrictions? You know, the topic we have been actually discussing? I realize you're old and senile and probably have a difficult time focusing, but try.
