"kept more of us in isolation longer than we should have been." That was your politicians and your choice. My family went to Florida last November because it was open w/o masks. Don't play the pretend guilt trip about lockups, when nearly all healthy people recover and then have the antibodies. NY politicians forced known C19 carriers into long term care for elderly, causing mass death in this older vulnerable population. Indictments pending??

Hey you maybe read too much into my comment? I didn’t stay home because any government said so, I did it because it was the best way to keep my community and myself safe. I did so longer than was necessary because people like your family kept going out to socialize, prolonging the wave of infections. If I got infected I probably wouldn’t have been in much danger other than a yucky cold that made me feel crappy (but I don’t know that, it could have been quite worse). I stayed home to ensure I wasn’t spreading it to people who wouldn’t be so fortunate, or to people who have no choice but to be out in the world but might spread it to their family who might not be so fortunate. No pretend, no trip, yes guilt. The people who kept the infection pipeline going kept killing people and kept millions of other people inside and isolated from the people we love because we’re not that selfish.

Miami-Dade county: 18,474 deaths per 100k San Francisco county: 63 deaths per 100k That’s an accounting of the cost associated by not locking things down. What we have yet to see is what the economic impact is. However, the city of San Francisco has a budget surplus right now since economically we did better than expected.

  Correction: I copied the wrong value for Miami-Dade. It’s 238 deaths per 100k. The previous number was cases. Summary: Miami-Dade: 18,474 cases and 238 deaths per 100k population San Francisco: 4,214 cases and 63 deaths per 100k population
