No, I do not agree that the people in the video you shared should be charged with the same crimes the eye-gouging guy was charged with. Of course they should not be so charged. They did not do what the other guy did. I'm glad to see you agree that the eye-gouging guy was appropriately charged...

I can't speak for all Planet Fitness locations. I can say the three Planet Fitness clubs in our market area have changed their operating hours surprisingly frequently. Every time they limit their 24/7 access, some of their members call us at Anytime Fitness to join our club. 24 hour access is...

"Some said." In other words, you have no data. "Some said" the virus runs rampant in Florida because DeSantis does not care about the health and welfare of the people, he cares only about his political ambitions. That's not supported by data either. "Some said" enables a lot of people to...

Oops! You are correct. 3 months, not 14+. My error. So my question then flips to Biden. There seems to have been plenty of time for Biden to ramp up production of monoclonal antibody treatments. Any idea (beyond groundless speculation, partisan rhetoric, or baseless accusations) why that did...

I do not know the answer to your question, but it is off point, is it not? I have not paid close attention to the charges made concerning what went on at the Capitol on January 6, but I do not recall a single one of them being "parading in a government building." This man, filmed gouging the...

Trump received monoclonal antibody treatment in October, 2020 and held office for an additional 14 2/3 months. Trump had plenty of time to ramp up production. Any idea why that did not happen?

Noted. Sorry to read more into it than what was there.

Sadly, no. I'm not sure what you mean by "our doctors." I'll say "all" doctors are not assuring us that vaccines work. There are some doctors saying vaccines cause covid. They are wrong, but they're saying it just the same. We've been seeing less mask use for some time. Today, I was at an...

First, not wrong. The only meaningful way to compare a governor's effectiveness in managing the covid issues is to do so on a per 100,000 population basis. Second, how do you know the states with the highest number of seniors have the highest number of covid deaths? I've never seen data showing...

Absolute numbers is a meaningless comparison. California's population is about 40 million. Florida's population is about 20 million. Oregon's population is about 4 million. Presumably, California has many more car accidents than the other two states. Does that mean it is less safe to drive in CA...

Maybe, or maybe not. Florida is said to have a large senior citizen population but how large? How much different from other states? Per this source, which ranks states by median age, Maine is the oldest state in the nation, and Florida is ranked sixth. What percentage of seniors does FL and...

Are you referring to absolute numbers, like Florida having over 50,000 deaths? or are you referring to the death rate per 100,000 residents?

You are making my point. A proper mask (N-95) will work if properly fitted and worn. On that we do not disagree. Also, the mere act of adjusting such a mask does not negate it's use. People remove them to eat and drink. They likely remove them when they are safely distanced from others. I know...

1. Governor DeSantis should not have closed all Florida gyms on March 20, 2020, and other businesses before and after that. On that date, there were 174 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Florida (compared with over 7,000 yesterday). Fearing the unknown, Gov. DeSantis panicked and shut the state...

The trouble with anecdotal info is it's anecdotal. While info may be true in one case, it does not follow it will be true in others. Human beings are amazingly complex organisms and there are literally billions of variables that apply at the microscopic level that determine what a given outcome...

Whatever you have heard doctors say, I can find doctors who say the exact opposite or nearly the exact opposite. If you are going to base any claim on what you heard doctors say, you thereby grant me the same ability, and if we cite what we heard doctors say to support our conflicting views...

Agreed. So the problem is not that masks are ineffective. The problem is that improperly worn masks are ineffective. That's no small problem to fix. Kinda like driver's training. The problem is not that cars are unsafe. The problem is people operate them in a way that makes them unsafe. People...

You say Florida is one of the top three most visited states for tourists. What are the other two? Might the three states be compared to see what impact, if any, inbound tourism has on all three?

Florida tourism is down sharply due to COVID-19. Statistics showing that effect are readily available. I have not seen any data saying, one way or another, that tourism increases the COVID-119 case count. A quick Google search of that question produces no results that are helpful. On what do...

Repeating the case you previously made does not make it stronger.
