If it seems I’m picking on Florida, and not on other states like New York or California, it really isn’t because it’s a red state. Cuomo in NY, and Newsome in CA, both have performed miserably during the pandemic, and Newsome especially, flip-flops on his Coronavirus response faster than the eye can see. Thing is, NY’s Covid 19 early catastrophic situation seems, today, like old news, with minimal daily infections and deaths , and Newsome, at least, doesn’t withhold data that people in CA need to make rational decisions about their behavior in this pandemic. Texas’ current numbers are the nation’s worst, but I think Abbot, at least, tells Texans the truth. In Florida, on the other hand, you have a perfect storm – a barefaced-lying governor and an out of control spread of the Coronavirus – which combine to make the “Sunshine State” the place where, of all states, Covid 19 wants to be. Florida is, simply, where the pandemic’s action is, and will continue to have my attention until it’s not.
Similarly, I’m not trying to shame southern states. It is simply a matter of where the current Covid 19 numbers are spiking. If Arizona and California continue to trend upward in terms of Covid 19 infections and deaths I may start a chart to watch western states as well.
