So who here ... doesn't ... wear a mask?

Probably lots if this board is indicative of the general population in the south. My family wears them religiously and it doesn't inconvenience any of us. We actually already had a box when all this started in February.

People just ignore it down here.

Last week, mask wearing in this part of NC was practically zero. It's still not great, but it's at least better than it was.

I mean sure...if that's an easier strawman for you to argue against, we can pretend that.

But I'm sorry...my attention is invested towards preventing the deaths of more American lives going forward.  So go ahead and sit here and thump your chest about absolute numbers and how Florida is doing such a great job cause they have less total deaths while I'll continue to monitor present trends...since those are a tad bit more relevant than citing statistics from months ago.

You are sounding even more nonsensical than the other guy.

You say I'm using a strawman but then use a strawman. LOL

Okay, here are the recent numbers I'm finding on the interwebz from June 12th thru June 26th comparing deaths in New York vs Florida.  Please tell me how these numbers are so significantly different from eachother, and why these numbers mean Florida is a raging hell hole while NYC "basically is COVID free" as I saw one poster put it.

6/12 - 83 vs 30

6/13 - 50 vs 47

6/14 - 37 vs 6

6/15 - 41 vs 7

6/16 - 46 vs 55

6/17 - 48 vs 25

6/18 - 46 vs 43

6/19 - 67 vs 43

6/20 - 15 vs 40

6/21 - 41 vs 17

6/22 - 53 vs 12

6/23 - 46 vs 64

6/24 - 32 vs 45

6/25 - 27 vs 44

6/26 - 48 vs 37

Man, I gotta say....I've heard so many ridiculous rants lately about how masks are depriving people of oxygen, which I originally dismissed as ignorant babbling...but based on these responses I'm having to deal with in here, a lack of oxygen to the brain would actually explain a lot.

So you don't like data and numbers now?

I think everyone here wears masks, I know I do.  I hate the thing, but wear it.

Why is it that every time you talk numbers, there is the "wear your mask" quotes?

Maybe it changes the numbers?  Emotion trumps numbers?

Sorry to 4 Corners, who will be triggered by the word "trumps".

Still wondering what nude photos he has of the mods

When citing data you need to be clear and provide sources. You say New York and NYC but don't clarify which is in this data. Also not sure which column is which.

Also this chart suggests your data is wrong. June 26th has 14 deaths for the state of New York

https://ycharts.com/indicators/new_york_coronavirus_deaths_per_day

while this chart has the state of Florida at 41 deaths on the same day

https://ycharts.com/indicators/florida_coronavirus_deaths_per_day

In other words your data looks like garbage.

Please go back to 6/12 and chart out the data from then until 6/26.  Thank you.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here.

Some interesting tidbits in here. Including...

The CEO of a major Houston hospital reports that 60% of their hospitalized COVID patients are under the age of 50.

The former head of the FDA says that half of the US population will likely contract COVID by the end of the year. On the one hand, this is a significant step toward herd immunity. On the other hand, we will see exactly what we hoped to avoid - namely widespread overrunning of our healthcare system leading to higher mortality rate from COVID and the unnecessary deaths of those who won't be able to get healthcare to treat other health ailments. We'll see people dying of treatable strokes, heart attacks, cancers, injuries, etc. 

Let's say the actual mortality rate of COVID is as low as 0.5%. Half of the US getting it would mean over 800k dead. That's basically the population of Charlotte disappearing. Given the decent likelihood of a vaccine as early as next spring this would be a brutal and very preventable massive loss of American lives. That's not even talking about the secondary loss of life from those other previously mentioned issues due to the healthcare system being overrun.

Guess it just depends on who you ask.

Weird how nobody can land on the same thing when it is numbers

Yeah, strawmen are annoying and weasly right? So how about you not go down that road next time. Don’t play dirty and expect me not to get in the mud with you if that’s how you want to play it.

The operative word in all of my posts has been “trends”...everything you’ve posted thus far demonstrates to me that you have no clue what trends are, and I’m not gonna help you with something that you can google on your own time. I’ve repeatedly stated that NY is trending in the right direction, Florida however is not.

So you went from arguing a strawman to now making me argue someone else’s claim about NY being COVID-free. Jesus, how about you just clue me in on what exactly you would like me to argue cause I can’t keep up with your ever changing version of it.

There are literally charts in the data I provided. That's how it works when you provide actual sources.

Here are some others that clearly show Florida is in a much worse condition.
