Social Florida COVID Death Rate Tops California

[RidenWitBiden]

"For every million residents of California, 1,385 Californians have died of COVID-19. But for every million residents of Florida, 1,538 Floridians have died of COVID-19."

For me, this comes down to nothing more than how this pandemic was handled. Republicans downplayed it and more people died as a result.Governor Newsom meanwhile did a great job in Cali and saved thousands of lives. Science is very real folks, but Trump, DeSantis, and the do-nothing GOP made it political.

EDIT: People are apparently too stupid to understand why this is impressive. The reason is population density. The virus should be much more damaging, per capita, in California because the proximity that people live to each other. The elderly argument is offset by the fact that California how so much more dense of a population. None of you will ever understand that. California has multiple cities where people live in highly dense urban areas. San Diego, LA, Oakland, SF. The Coronavirus is much more dangerous and apt to spread in those areas. And yet California STILL had less of a death rate than Florida. Even more impressive.

I eagerly await @Mcountry and his highly scientific rebuttal.

Even Newsom thinks COVID is a joke.

Excellent news

I expect a very angry response. Most likely including caps locks, swear words, and immature insults.

Should he use mature insults instead?

I mean he could at least try not to be so juvenile. Expect something like "you fucking retarded globalist scum should LEAVE AMERICA!! I don't know how people can be so fucking stupid and useless as you." And of course, he won't address the actual issue in any way, shape, or form.

Florida's aging population with no lockdowns and there was only a 10% difference? LOL at the suckers in California.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Two faced rules for thee but not for me politicians aside, California did pretty well handling it's Covid considering it's densely populated cities. Way better than places like New York, Jersey, Mass, etc.

If you take the provisional death count of Florida for Covid-19 from the CDC you end with 0.1361964% of the population dying from it. If you take the provisional death from Covid-19 for California you get 0.01401467% of the population dying from it. I don't know TS should I trust the LA times or should I trust the CDC that provides the provisional death count, the US census Bureau who provides population data and the calculator in my phone. It's a tough choice.

 

[WhiteMousse]

I'd like to see a chart that just shows straight deaths, no categorization. How many people died in 2020 vs how many died in previous recent years. It's a little harder to lie about who's actually dead than it is about what actually killed them.

A little.

Science is real to left, unless it's Biology.

Florida has a high percentage of old people.

Without deep diving into the stats, my gut tells me that Florida likely has a much older population versus California with roughly the same density.

And COVID loves to eat old people who are 80+ WITH TWO OR MORE COMORBIDS.

And if that's the case regarding the difference in population demographics and Florida just eeked out slightly more per mil?

Then LOL. You fucking shit stain.

edit: just read the thread and someone else beat me to the punch. I'm not even going to bother deep diving into this explanation as it seems rather obvious. Maybe you should ping your new health secretary for a more detailed explanation.

He may answer you provided he's not contemplating suicide on that day.

California crushed businesses, took away Constitutional freedoms and fined churches. California didn't handle things well.

 

[BIKES!]

What is unique about FL? i wonder...

Instead of using one of the many websites that calculates the deaths per million, this article decides to calculate it on their own. This is fine, except they curiously under-count Florida's population by about a million, thus increasing their death rate. The article also very curiously makes no mention of the #1 risk factor for an adverse COVID result, which is age. Florida is a much older state than California is. I guess dry air is worth talking about, but age isn't.

For all that their results are very close. Florida is 27th in the country and California is 30th.

Florida: 1,489 deaths per million
California: 1,377 deaths per million (Florida has reported deaths today, and California hasn't, so it should narrow a bit before day's end).

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

When adjusting for age of population, these are the results you would expect if both states had the exact same response. Instead, California needlessly did so much damage to their citizens, and have pretty much nothing to show for it in their COVID numbers. This article does its best to defend California, but it's just a mess that really reaches on some if its points. "We're more socially vulnerable! We have dryer air"!

Why am I not surprised?

California has significantly lower density than NYC, and the car culture means people aren't trapped next to each other in subways. Whatever NYC did to have the numbers it does is still an accomplishment because it's the worst case scenario for a pandemic.
