NY, NJ, and CT were part of the “first wave” so had the harshest containment measures. As of now the three states have the lowest covid positivity rate in the country and have for months.
Florida’s covid strategy was to ignore it, blame the pandemic on NY, have no statewide mask mandate, and force business to reopen. It’s not surprise they’ve done terrible with COVID-19.
The Federal covid strategy has been to just ignore it, blame blue state governors, sell hydroxychloroquine, brag about a potential vaccine, and now go for herd “mentality.”
Is anyone surprised at how this played out?
