Good article.

An excerpt:
Florida got it right. Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a statewide “safer at home” executive order April 3 and then began to roll it back throughout most of the state on May 4. He was called a public menace when he allowed beaches, restaurants and other public places to reopen.
Instead, DeSantis maintained restrictions in hotspots, focused resources on protecting nursing home residents, and required travelers from states with high degrees of contagion to quarantine for 14 days on their arrival in the Sunshine State.
The result: Florida has just over 2,800 coronavirus deaths versus 24,000 in New York, even though Florida has two million more residents than New York and the largest percentage of people over 65 of any state in the nation.

It’s not halftime. This virus isn’t the first and won’t be the last. We need to handle the next ones more rationally.

Of course Climate change is an existential treat. It’s hilarious that you think that’s a gotcha.
enjoy your reality. Enjoy the MAGA rally, don’t forget to sign the waiver though

There’s a colony with enzootic Yersinia Pestis in San Jose too.
But there is a whole bunch of importable troublemakers like Rift Valley Fever, Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever, Zika, Ebola, Lassa Fever, Marburg Fever, Machupo Virus, Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever...among others.
The only certainty is that other viruses WILL come along. Hopefully our response won’t be this FUBAR next time.
