[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] do you see the kids in other states going 5 days a week and in some states adults at restaurants carefree? Do you see a need for exra body bags due to this??? NO.  [/quote]

Can you name a state that has kids in 5 days a week, and restaurants fully open, that hasn't had a huge spike?  Look at death rates since September in Florida, for example.  [/quote]

Iowa is significantly less restrictive than Illinois, yet the spikes in both states have been very similar.[/quote]

What's the population density like in IA compared to IL? I feel like people keep comparing lower density states with fewer restrictions to higher density states with more restrictions, and saying "see the restrictions don't work". That is failing to account for what cases would be like in those high density areas with no restrictions imposed. Which we can predict based on modeling.

It's not going to feel fair. People who live in higher density areas are going to have to live with more restrictions while seeing low density areas with fewer restrictions not have as many cases. Look at states like NJ, NY, CT, MA compared to Southern states. The Northeast has higher population density so it's going to do worse with this no matter what. It isn't a reason to throw our hands up and let thousands more people die than is necessary.[/quote]
