Maybe I am missing the point. If I understand your post correctly, you are saying Florida is a top-five state ranked by people over 65. And you are saying Florida is a top-five state ranked by the total number of covid deaths. Is that correct? Other than the top-five status the two stats you...

I was thinking the same thing. With cheap and highly effective vaccines on the way, it could be easily assumed those would do the job and the far more expensive antibody treatments would not be needed. I think a lot of people were surprised by the huge number of people who resisted the vaccines...

While it's easy to call Washington-level elected officials and/or their operatives stupid, or dismiss them as such, it is unwise to do so. Be they Democrat, Republican, Independent or other, if they are operating at the Washington level, they are highly intelligent and highly skilled. In the...

While I've been unimpressed with Seattle's and Portland's approach to law enforcement, prosecutions are taking place, mostly because the feds stepped in. Where crimes are committed, prosecutions are important, without regard to party or political views...

No double standard at all. Did you hear Republicans blaming Trump for covid deaths? Those driven by partisanship are remarkably consistent in following the same standard ... blame the other side. Regarding charges and prosecutions for two fires in two different states, it's not true that no...

Muttly, regarding proportionality, a review of this document suggests that the charges and penalties are proportional to the crimes. Notice that several have been cooperating with prosecutors. One was sentenced to time served. One got no time but probation instead.

And all in the building and beyond certain points in the plaza were in restricted areas without authorization. It seems that those who committed crimes of violence have been so charged. Others have also been charged, but not with crimes of violence. This is not going well for the people who...

Digging a little deeper, I found this in one of the charging documents: "The U.S. Capitol is secured 24 hours a day by U.S. Capitol Police. Restrictions around the U.S. Capitol include permanent and temporary security barriers and posts manned by U.S. Capitol Police. Only authorized people with...

I stand corrected. Now looking at this source to see what has been charged, "parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building" has been charged. Like you, I find this to be a curious charge. Demonstrations in the Capitol are common. Why would people be charged for this on January 6...

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...
