Florida doing much worse with delta variant than California. Here's why.

[Zorro]

Experts say California’s better-than-average vaccination rates and newly implemented mandatory mask policies in parts of the state have helped prevent a more grim situation.

Despite a significant surge in both coronavirus cases and hospitalizations this summer, California so far has managed to avoid the sky-high infection rates and increasingly overcrowded hospitals some other states are now experiencing.

California’s coronavirus case rate remains below the national average and significantly less than that of Florida and Texas: two common points of comparison given their population size and distinctly different pandemic responses.

Experts say California’s better-than-average vaccination rates and newly implemented mandatory mask policies in parts of the state have helped prevent a more grim situation.

While governors in Florida, Texas and other states have opposed allowing local governments to mandate the wearing of masks, California has allowed counties to enact such orders in indoor public spaces for everyone age 2 and older, regardless of vaccination status.

1. Yet .....

Newsom is being recalled by the reich-wing here in California ....

Meanwhile .....

DeathSentence cannot be recalled, so he's throwing his hat into the ring to run for president while he's continuing to murder people with his no-mask mandate. DeathSentence also doesn't have to leave office, won't be asked to step down nor does he care about how many people he murders with Covid-19/Delta, because he's a member of the GQP and they don't have to do any right things, nor follow any rules or guidelines of ethics. NONE.

Must be nice.

2. A large portion of people that signed that recall petition are in the areas where the Dixie fires

Are occurring. Will they blame Newsom for Mother Nature? And will they even vote since their areas are being wiped out?

5. "A large portion of people that signed that recall petition are in the areas where the Dixie fires."

You're right.

Many who signed the bogus recall petition are NOW suffering and having their areas wiped completely OUT due to the Dixie fires. Over 490,000 acres of land, burned down to the ground and left smoldering. The fire is spreading beyond Dixie.

You know that they'll blame Newsom in some way, form or fashion. Meanwhile, DeathSentence continues go about the country campaigning, raising monies (Isn't he in Utah today?), and not even knowing that ventilators were sent to his state hospitals to help those dying/suffering from Covid-19/Delta. Nope, DeathSentence continues to blame immigrants, Pres. Biden--anybody but himself and his murdering no-mask mandate for the increasing death in Florida. He's traveling the country raising monies so he can run for president without a care in the world, as even his own base is dying from Covid-19/Delta. To be able to get away with murder and not care and laugh about it. Yep, that's the GQP way. Like I said. Must be nice to do what you want to, and not have to pay much of a price for it. At least he won't be paying a price right now, but he'll be paying a price at some point because I'm a big believer in Karma, and he'll get his eventually. It's sad that so many people have to DIE before he's stopped his murderous ways.
