>>I think that the reason for the difference is that the people in power in Florida and the people in power in NY took almost exactly opposite courses of action based on the data available. Florida took a very targeted approach and never had the draconian measures that NY took.

Overnight the UK Telegraph published an article calling it a "world scandal" that there's still no evidence that the lockdown "experiment" (their word) made any difference.

The article laments expert analysis in professional journals raising this concern, being systematically shrouded on contact with the official "narrative" (also their word).

The Telegraph is MSM so left-leaning, suggesting that the "science" zealots may be alienating even their natural allies this time. I've no doubt that future historians will refer to pompous popular scolding about "science" from people displaying aggressive anti-science behavior, as if they think science is a cult where everybody can be a high priest empowered to punish the unbelievers.
