It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those cases were in my hometown. Thank the gods I'm out of there, and thank the few of you who helped me survive long enough to make the move.

How do the per capita numbers compare? Raw numbers being largely meaningless for making comparisons and all.

I'm sure the right will use it to belittle and insult the left. Oh wait, it doesn't work that way. Only the other way around.

Not to mention it's not all blue as the media would love for you to believe. There are pockets of red, which, as far as I am aware, are the worst-off at the moment.

Similar populations so its not that unfair of the comparisson

I will point out, that even with the increased case number california still has a lower 7 day death average than Florida and Texas.

The same is almost certainly true of California.

FrozenBananas posted...
also California is massive

California 39.1m
Texas 29m
Florida 21.8m
Combined TX & FL - 50.8m

Unless you were referring to the landsize, at which point it's actually behind TX (and both are behind Alaska)

Even without knowing the exact numbers, you should know enough to realize the combination of TX and FL is substantially larger than CA by itself.

This may surprise you, but people outside of the US generally don't care enough about US demography to memorize even ballpark figures for state populations.

Moreover, I'm not actually asking for that data (since I could very easily have googled it and done the math myself, given that I completed grade 3 and can therefore handle basic division) as I am encouraging TC and his ilk to properly process the data they use to try and make points. Whatever the conclusion turns out to be, comparing regions based on raw numbers instead of per capita statistics is almost always going to be a bad idea. This is no exception. Given how much local population density influences infectious disease spread, even per capita numbers don't tell the whole story, but modelling that becomes significantly more complex and is beyond what can be expected of most laypersons, and that doesn't change that you dramatically improve the credibility of your comparison by adding a common denominator.

Florida is the actually only state that's ever been confirmed to count a car accident victim as a COVID death. Even there the mistake was caught and removed from the data.

Do you have anything resembling a legitimate source for that ever happening in California? I'd guess no.

Don't you understand? Because it happened once, that actually means that every reported Covid death is from something other than Covid and the whole pandemic has been a lie to control us all! Wake up, sheeple!

(To be clear, this is 100% sarcasm and nobody should actually believe this)

I live in Florida and agree with this statement. Nobody in or outside of Florida knows the true numbers of people who've had and/or died from Covid-19 since it's not tracked due to mini-T and his minions.
