[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida is 12th for highest mortality rate in the US for Covid deaths. [/quote]

Yes but they have a much older population. The fact it’s only 12th practically proves the restrictions were pointless. [/quote]

No. They had so many excess deaths. Age adjusted. [/quote]

Of course there were additional deaths after the introduction of a new virus. That's not the question. The question is whether restrictions did anything to meaningfully decrease that number, or if they just caused unnecessary additional pain and suffering.[/quote]

People who work in hospitals would disagree with you.

My neighbor down the street is a lifelong Republican and a hospital administrator. She voted for Democrats in 2020 and beyond because she told me the Democrats had it right about Covid and precautions.[/quote]

I work in a hospital. Or, I should say, I worked in a hospital during the pandemic. I'm in an outpatient setting now.

The rhetoric on both sides of the political spectrum was extreme. Yes, if you compare the loudest voices from politicians, the Republicans looked like idiots. But the Democrats still pushed restrictions that made no sense, pushed them for too long, and maintained them in areas where they weren't necessary for the stated goals. MoCo being a poster child for this.[/quote]
