You all stopped at the same exact time, and by an amazing coincidence, that just happened to be when Floridas numbers got better.

I'm not very impressed by any very short term results, they're too volatile. It was you and your fellow lefties here, who made it clear that weekly results were what mattered. Well unless you were all full of sh*t, these weekly results also matter.

I'm being consistent. You're all flip-flopping.

Let's go, Brandon!
The short term numbers are what you have a chance of controlling a pandemic with.

If you had a mass murderer in a place with a population of 22 million and each day he killed three hundred and fifty of them, would that be alright?
You would be screaming to eliminate civil rights until he was found, just like the Patriot Act.
If Covid was a Muslim all the conservatives would be wearing masks, getting vaccinated and have Covid hunter bumper stickers

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

ok. so why did you give cuomo a complete pass when he was forcing nursing homes to admit residents who were sick with a disease that we all knew would target the elderly?

and then he fished the numbers

and still, everyone sang his praises, he got a book deal, he got an Emmy.

if short term numbers are important, which is your claim, you should
be happily posting that florida’s numbers are improving. but you aren’t posting that, because you want fodida to have bad numbers so desantis isn’t a political threat to the alzheimer’s patient we have now.

Furthermore, Florida’s numbers were pretty good all along, until this summer. Yet you never posted anything about florida until the cases spiked. how come?

You can look up my comments on Cuomo:

"Cuomo is now only able to attain praise for his actions because his earlier failures made those actions necessary. Of course, part of this is because Donald Trump has bungled the coronavirus response even more badly, so that Cuomo – by not being a complete buffoon – looks like a capable statesman by contrast."

NY did worse at first and learned how to do better so passing NY in deaths by all measures is nothing to be proud of, as to the rest of your rant maybe Scott can fix your spelling and grammar
