I guess we should take comfort in the fact that The New York Times is not the only publication out there that employs delusional opinion writers that foist their stupid takes on us daily. Today’s example comes from The Washington Post, which is continuing the political press’s fluffing of Ron DeSantis, the heir-apparent to MAGA, apparently.
I agree with you that Florida and Texas were stupid about Covid but I am not sure how these statistics validate your point that Florida and Texas fared worse with no Covid protocol than California?
"According to the WorldoMeter web site, to date, Florida has had 7.2 million Covid cases, with 82,541 deaths. Texas, another state that refused to put Covid mandates in place, had just over 8 million cases with 91,809 deaths. Contrast that with California, which imposed mask mandates and lockdowns early, which reported 11.3 million Covid cases and 97,213 deaths."
