Seemed a pretty relevant question given the text you yourself quoted and what you yourself typed out in your reply.

The fact that you even think this is a serious question is beyond asinine and quite scary.

Cross cultural comparisons are always fraught...

In the case of California, more stringent attempts to suppress COVID have made their situation worse. They’ve had a much more rapid increase than other states with much less restrictions (like Texas and Florida).

Notice how even with significantly different mitigation/suppression and economic strategies, the big 3 states ended up in the same place. It’s just that California did it by overloading their hospitals while destroying their economy.

I don’t see any empirical evidence that show suppressing the virus is effective. In California’s case they seem to be much worse off for the path they have taken.

According to Knob it's simply based on the weather.

And they should be welded into their houses. Food will eventually come, maybe.

Indeed, if you accept the ORIGINAL mission objective, that of ‘flattening the curve so as to not overload the ICUs’, both Texas and Florida were clearly more successful than California.

And right now the rates of infection and California are both lower than that of California, but appear to be declining as well:




While California is still rising and Gavin Newsom is in danger of being recalled.

You either are a Chinese propaganda troll or you have fallen for the BS of their online troll army hook, line, and sinker.

True.

But it is CA after all and the weather is nice. They should just be able to grow their own.

This is completely not true. The virus was taking a huge toll before any restrictions were put up. That’s why they placed restrictions. The virus didn’t explode because there are restrictions. In fact it would get even more out of control if there aren’t any. But if people aren’t following it then is it really because of those restrictions? You’re saying somehow if there were no restrictions there would be less cases? Does that make any sense? CA, Texas and Florida have been the worst states in this. CA is higher because it’s more populated, but Florida and Texas are close second and third and then there’s the rest of the less populated states.
