Today on Twitter a notorious Doomer cited east/southeast Asia's numbers as evidence that the public-health recommendations work (but of course those countries tried all different approaches and every one worked fine, so just maybe there's something else going on here?).
Cambodia has not had a single death. Is that because of Cambodia's state-of-the-art public-health establishment? Cambodia was number 83 among countries in terms of pandemic preparedness.
I did see this headline, from Reuters: "Cambodian Villagers Trust Magic Scarecrows to Ward Off Coronavirus."
(Don't knock it: it's much cheaper than anything Fauci has recommended, and it seems to have worked for Cambodia.)
Overall, I do think the tide is at last turning in our direction.
But you're still surrounded by crazy people.

Wow. She wanted to do something EVEN MORE BRUTAL THAN WEARING A MASK!!!!!
On January 20, Germany mandated medical-grade masks. That must have done it, right?
Well, as it turns out, Angela Merkel recently sought an even more barbaric lockdown, even after instituting that mandate, although thankfully she had to back down. I wonder why those medical masks didn't solve the problem:

That sounds awful. Worse than the Thirty Years War. Is anyone left alive?

Only in body.
Do us all a favor. When this is all over, don't write a history of it.
Meh. It wasn’t even my argument. My friend Megan who writes for the Washington post, among others, wrote about it at the time.

Texas still headed downward. It's almost as if lines of latitude are more important than policies......doesn't mean it won't go up....it looks like the line of rising cases is moving southward from the Canadian border.

Is J&J going to be delivered in time to avoid much of a rise in cases? If Israel is any indication, CFR should be much lower regardless of a rise in cases.Texas still headed downward.

Confirmed!!! Kill the unborn and kill the elderly get's you a job. Good job team!!!
Levine will now oversee Health and Human Services offices and programs across the U.S.
In Pennsylvania, Levine mismanaged the pandemic last year instituting an order that required nursing homes and other assisted care facilities to admit COVID-19 patients. Like its neighbor New York, Pennsylvania’s order put Covid positive patients in facilities with those most at risk of death from the virus, the elderly and people with disabilities.

I think it helps to look at the post-peak change to variant and the post-peak change to behavior.
FL is halfway into a nasty post-peak change to variant. All three have a significant post-peak change to behavior. TX dropped the mask mandate, FL has spring break, and CA opened restaurants.
The other question is what happened to Michigan. NY shot themselves in the foot by opening up to save Cuomo. But why MI?
Partial answer to why MI has had a nasty March:

Many Michigan COVID restrictions eased starting today
The state of Michigan is easing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in several areas including restaurants and bars.

And yet all 3 have about the same cases per million and deaths per million.
One has to ask themselves...why did CA shut down if the outcome is the same as TX and FL?
I posted above a graph that shows CA still has 70% or so of all students not in any kind of in person class. TX and FL have had in person classes now since the fall.
Just on the kid side alone, CA has screwed parents/kids. And especially the poor and lower middle class. And for what benefit?
It has been hard to justify what CA has done for a long time. And as the data comes in...even more so.
This is fascinating coming from you. So already we can see the affect right?Partial answer to why MI has had a nasty March:

Cases started going up early March. Lets say March 5. So an immediate rise after mandates lifted...and only a slight loosening at that.
But when we look at TX who dropped ALL restrictions within a few days of MI...we see ZERO rise. The decline continues.
So square that with your never ending restaurant theory? If MI opening up partially their restaurants is the reason for their bad month, how come TX who opened everything is not having a bad month?
By the way what are you going to blame for the lack of rise in cases in TX? You were aghast they opened up.
