OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

[ehizzy3]

Desantis wasted one million Covid tests intended for low-income and elderly at height of crisis, either intentionally or unwittingly, evil or incompetent.

@ABM would you consider this pro life?

Hard to say. DeSantis said the COVID tests were available, just not ordered. Is that because the SG pooh-poohed getting tested? Dunno.

Care to venture a guess why more folks are moving to Florida than virtually every other state? That's right, because of the reckless, irresponsible behaviors of the governor and other state leaders. Ignorant people.

At a Thursday news conference, Kevin Guthrie, the director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, told reporters when asked about the state's stockpile: "We had between 800,000 and a million test kits, Abbott rapid test kits, in our warehouse that did expire."

The warm weather has been there since the beginning of time.

The warm weather has been there since the beginning of time.

And people have been moving there since the beginning of time, or at least for many decades.

The way you phrased your prior reply ('available but not ordered') made me think you were trying to say Florida didn't ever order/receive the tests.

Taiwan today has 4 cases of covid...their health dept says that masks and border quarantines of one week upon arrival have kept it that safe.....anybody who says masks don't work is full of shit
They have 100% compliance in public mask wearing....it worked for SARS and it's working for combating Covid as well. Also strict control on travel quarantines have kept their cases that low....23 million people....4 covid cases

So have blue haired retired New Yorkers .....Florida like Arizona is a retirement destination for people from the north....not shocking and by no means politically fueled...it's Coppertone and condo fueled.

In before ABM congratulates DeSantis for this.

People move to Florida because Disney World is there - and Disney are the ones that popularized the myth that Lemmings jump to their death, so Covidiots want to move there...

Masks work. I haven’t had cold or allergy symptoms since February of 2020.
Fuck yeah they work.

People are moving to less densely populated areas. 6 of the top 10 are among the 20 least densely populated states in the country, and the others (including Florida) all have large areas people can move with very low population density.

Among the top 10 destination states there are politics of all kinds.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I understand.

This is unscientific, but I've been hearing a lot of chatter about people fleeing other more (COVID-related) restrictive states and moving to Florida. That said, I'm just saying I sure don't think the Governor - and all the DeathSantis stuff - is precluding anyone from moving there.

And I've been hearing about people fleeing Oregon and Kate Brown as well. Yet Oregon is also still a top 10 destination...

I don't think the Governor matters as much as people like to think it does.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Yes, this is the way.

It sure is. The way some in here would have it, though, is that those same folks should would be wise to flee DeathSentence and the state as a whole.

They would, but they aren't, so they don't.

Cool. One less port for you to visit.

I don’t understand why anyone is moving to a place that will be underwater in 20 years.

Nobody? Nobody's gonna say:

"Organize a DickStarter."

I thought I teed that one up for you guys.....disappointing...

 

[Phatguysrule]

Yup. I think it has more to do with cost. California and NY aren't losing people just because of covid restrictions. It is expensive there. Eventually, people will leave Oregon too because of how expensive things are getting here.

As long as Oregon is less expensive than Washington and California our population will keep increasing. And prices will as well.

It will take a big, long term catastrophe to change that. Bigger and longer term than covid-19...

Maybe a full Cascadia quake would do it...

 

[andalusian]

What about a gun purchase background check? Can you wait in line for that?
