Have to agree with this to some degree, and would love someone to do a study. Compare FL, where I am currently, and CA, and the numbers on the surface are very similar. Not that the numbers are good, but they are similar. FL is essentially wide open, with most retail/restaurants/entertainment venues requiring masks and some with occupancy limits. From my experience down here, I really think the efficacy of masks is proved. No need to lock down so tight if the vast majority of people are willing to wear masks.

I'm really having trouble with this discussion. Only a small number will get the truth chips, starting with teachers and preachers.

This is the problem with the internet. Not everyone understands what
“ s/Winston Smith “means. Sarcasm does need signifiers.

It is just too easy to misinterpret what one writes.

But it is funny.

Agreed, but I believe (hope) the post was referring to a thread from a year or two ago in which /s was involved/discussed/critiqued/ridiculed.
