False. You have provided CLAIMS. Claims without a single supporting reference, and claimed those to be facts.
Even your claim about providing facts is false! lol
Claims that have been proven to be false or distorted numerous times.
You seem to be thriving in the post-truth era.
It's not worth it to engage with someone who distorts the truth so readily.
But best of luck to you anyhow!
The data on covid death rates (per 100,000 people) is publicly available [2]. Even in a state with a younger population (Texas), overall death rates are still higher than in California.
I don't need to distort the truth because it is obvious to anyone with common sense.
But let's look at it another way just for fun. 40,689 Floridians over age 65 have died of COVID [3]. If Florida had the same % of over 65 residents as California does (14.3%), we would expect to see 28,245 >age 65 deaths in Florida. This would give Florida an overall COVID death rate of 201 deaths per 100,000 people. This is still higher than the actual overall death rate in California (179 deaths per 100,00 people). And in this hypothetical exercise, we are likely still undercounting deaths in Florida.
My point is that you can't only cite age as a confounder when you compare Florida and California. You have to take into account different policies, and there is no way to argue that Florida's policy has saved lives.
