if absolute numbers are the gauge, CA has way more deaths then FL. Therefore using your logic, CA performed worse.

you might have paid more (some) attention to school.


I’ve got a feeling he was too busy being bullied in school

when using percentages makes FL look worse, he uses percentages. When using absolute. numbers makes FL look worse, he uses absolute numbers. Goes back and forth and thinks no one sees.

FL is growing and thriving. It’s doing so, despite having no state income tax.

When you can offer a comparable product ( or a superior product) at a lower price, that’s called “winning.”

And my god are they scared of Desantis’ winning again and again. As of right now, he’s an absolute rock star.

Doesn’t matter if trump runs, sadly.

Only you Jim think iam the one doing the math. Again you fail to post any facts where I have.

You make nonsensical claims then try to accuse me of not being accurate

which state has the highest percentage of seniors. not which state has the larger absolute number of seniors.

Wow even the State of Maine. has a high percentage of elderly than Fla Jim Yet now you abandoned per thousand metric ? Why

"Only you Jim think iam the one doing the math. Again you fail to post any facts where I have. "

You use cherry-picked facts that contain flip-flopping logic.

Your last post, you tried to deny FL las a higher senior population by showing that CA has more seniors (ignoring rates). Fine. Using your logic, let's assume that absolute numbers are what matter, not percentages/rates.

According to these facts in my link, CA has has 89,000 deaths. FL has had 74,000 deaths.

CA has had 15,000 more deaths, despite imposing more severe lockdowns, despite keeping kids out of school longer.

"Wow even the State of Maine. has a high percentage of elderly than Fla Jim"

I never, ever said FL has a higher % of seniors than Maine. I said it has a higher % of seniors than CA. Here are some more facts, showing I am 100% correct. FL has the second-highest elderly population (by %) in the country, behind only ME, and it has way more than CA, which is ranked 45th.

Again, as always, you are responding to things I never came close to saying. I never, ever said FL had a higher senior % than ME.

When you compare states for covid, you compare death rates. And because covid obviously is way riskier for the elderly, statistics 101 would dictate that you must normalize every state's data for differences in elderly population. Essentially, what you have to do, is figure out what death rates would be, by state, if every state had the same % of elderly citizens. Very, very simple statistics.

Here are those facts. When you do an age-adjusted comparison of death rates, CA is still better than FL, but FL is way way better than NY, and we were told all along that Gov Cuomo was "the gold standard" in terms of managing covid.
