Top White House Covid Adviser Is Stumped On Why Lockdown-Loving California Isn't Doing Better Than Open-All-Hours Florida

 


 * Andy Slavitt appeared stumped on MSNBC on Wednesday when asked to explain 
 * His comments come as a new study from The New York Times shows that about 512,000 more people have died since March than would have in a normal year 
 * California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has put some of the strictest measures in place to combat the coronavirus pandemic 
 * Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has done nearly the opposite 
 * But the states' rates of infection for coronavirus are similar - right around 8.5% 

White House coronavirus adviser Andy Slavitt appeared stumped on Wednesday when asked to explain why California and Florida, which had very different methods of combating COVID-19, have similar trends in COVID-19 cases and deaths. 

Slavitt told MSNBC that the virus was still very unpredictable and 'a little bit beyond our explanation.' In California, a little more than 8.5% of the population has been infected; in Florida, it's a little less.

Andy Slavitt slavishly adheres to Democrat dogma. He is straight from 1984's central casting.

Socal has Mediterranean climate/ So people should not be stress as much by winter flu season. Cold weather should not be the deciding factor betwen the out comes of Florida and California.

8:41, you could not decompose or analyze a bathtub curve or supply and demand curves. The closest you get is going anal.

I was at a public gathering, a popular hiking trial, where people were 6 feet away or less. It was pretty steep on both sides of the trail. No mask. There was a steady stream of people.

Surely I was brave, I was as brave a maskless governor Newson when he dined at the fancy French restaurant, a $16,000 dinner, guffawing it up with health professionals.

I was as brave as Speaker to Animals Nancy Pelousy, when she got her hair done while maskless.


You realize the mask pores are much larger than the viral particles?
