Please? Covid is done, get over it. I'm sick of you people - who never did anything to protect others during the pandemic anyway - complaining about something that happened three years ago.[/quote]
This. Sorry your ski trip in 2020 got canceled or whatever. Cope.[/quote]

I went on my ski trip and had a wonderful time. [/quote]

It's hard for lockdowns to work when people ignore them.  You don't get to flout the rules and then complain that they were ineffective[/quote]
There were no rules preventing people from traveling to ski in another state, if the ski resorts were open.

In any event[b], I ignored the rules as much as I could because I knew they didn't, and couldn't, work. They went against all prior pandemic planning[/b].[/quote]

Same.  Felt bad friends didn’t know any better and went along with the restrictions.  We enjoyed life to the extent possible.  [/quote]
One of the (few) good things about living in the US during the pandemic versus a country like France, was our lack of national restrictions. To avoid the crazy restrictions and rules in a place like DC, we spent a lot of time in places like Florida and Georgia. [b]I'm thankful we live in a country where the Federal government couldn't dictate to everyone how to respond to covid, and that can't forbid travel.[/b] [/quote]

Same here.  I have family in Jordan and Dubai.  It was out of control there.

Though, I will say that even here in the US, the federal government really did try to forbid travel, and other things.  Luckily it was somewhat kept in check.  [/quote]
I have relatives in Canada, and certain provinces would ban people from other provinces from traveling there. Thankfully, Governors and Mayors don't have that power here. And the Federal government doesn't have that power, either. Americans are free to move about this country. [/quote]

And it’s why we had a higher death rate in this country than those that applied real restrictions. American prioritize #freedumb over health and common good.[/quote]

Except, your claim is false.

Contrast Sweden with Spain.

Contrast FL with NY, NJ, IL, PA...

And do so while controlling by % of the population over 60, the main risk factor.[/quote]
dp.. the architect of the Swedish response to covid wished he had done things differently and placed more restrictions to save lives.

[quote]Sweden’s chief epidemiologist and the architect of its light-touch approach to the coronavirus has acknowledged that the country has had too many deaths from Covid-19 and should have done more to curb the spread of the virus.

Anders Tegnell, who has previously criticised other countries’ strict lockdowns as not sustainable in the long run, told Swedish Radio on Wednesday that there was “quite obviously a potential for improvement in what we have done” in Sweden.

Asked whether too many people in Sweden had died, he replied: “Yes, absolutely,” adding that the country would “have to consider in the future whether there was a way of preventing” such a high toll.[/quote]

Also, it's not fair to compare the death rate between NY and FL since NY was hit first, and doctors and scientists knew very little regarding how to deal with covid.  So, there were way more deaths. Not to mention that covid hit during the colder season and NYC is a lot more dense than most of FL.

FL got hit later when they knew more and there were more tools for them to use against covid.  Even with that, they had a lot of deaths.  Also, let's remember that FL did not report accurately.  "If you don't report, the numbers don't look so bad".[/quote]
