Why compare Canada with Florida, a republican run state? Why not compare it with Democrat run new York, whose covid death rates are five times worse than Florida with smaller population?

I read a magazine articles years and years ago on the topic. It was interesting but also a wee bit frightening. It discussed the case of a remote village in the jungles of South America where a virus hit and wiped out the entire village in about a week. It was pure chance that no one from that village had gone to a major city. Had that happened, odds are some people would have been getting on planes and spreading it around the world. It spread easily and quickly, and the mortality rate (judging from that village) was 100%.Published 1995. People realized that globalization was likely to make such pandemics much more frequent.
LOL!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea what he had in mind when he tweeted about a "pandemic" last October. Or are you actually Joe Biden posting from the basement??He didn't. He wasn't talking about COVID-19; he was talking about how foolish it was to shut down our pandemic response team.
Good point! About 1/3 of the confirmed cases in the entire U.S. have occurred in the Northeast, mostly in New York City. The Northeast is pretty much Democrat Country.Why compare Canada with Florida, a republican run state?

I agree with this statement 100%, and I THANK GOD Trump is doing this! No other president in U.S. history has done more harm to our nation than Obama. Before you play the race card, I voted for Alan Keyes in the primaries when he ran for president! He attended a meeting of parents in my state concerned about radical education reforms. He and I had a discussion about it, and I was very impressed with him. Also, I would have loved to see Herman Cain as president!From all accounts, it's because Trump is seeking to erase as much of Obama's legacy as he can.
Several factors need to be considered. New York was hit by surprise. Florida had more time to prepare. It's also possible that people being outdoors a lot in Florida helped. Being cooped up in cold weather was probably a factor in spreading it so quickly in New York, overwhelming the health care system. So far, Florida's hospitals haven't reached a breaking point; but if they do, expect the mortality rate to rise.Why compare Canada with Florida, a republican run state?

Hopefully the virus wasn't carried in by a missionary. When Americans first came to this continent disease was the primary killer of native Americans the way I understand it.I read a magazine articles years and years ago on the topic.

The article also discussed how someone with a virus was on a ship going from South America to Europe. The ship stopped at an island and someone on the island got infected. I can't remember all the details; but almost everyone on that island died. I don't recall if the infected passenger wasn't contagious for the first part of the voyage and maybe he got off on that island; but it was pure luck the virus never made it to Europe.
The article was written at a time when the federal government was cutting spending on research on tropical diseases. Politicians and bureaucrats figured they had better things to spend their money on. Why bother with tropical diseases when the USA has so little territory that could be considered tropical? Of course, a policy of neglect and indifference is misguided. A disease can start out as a tropical disease and spread around the world. The USA has no automatic immunity.
Covid-19 is bad, but it could have been worse, far worse; and we are still not prepared.

Syphilis was brought back to Europe by Columbus' crew. It only took 20 years for Henry VIII, king of England to contract the disease!Hopefully the virus wasn't carried in by a missionary.

So what do we do live in fear or embrace, because the way I see it is it's here?Yes, that's a fact. Entire civlizations fell because of the new diseases. The Mound Builder civilization had collapsed before Europeans ever reached the Ohio valley. It wasn't intentional, but it was a huge disaster for American populations.
There is good evidence to support that hypothesis.
Praying for you!Our whole house has came down with something, it hit me yesterday evening like a truck. Sore throat headache, stuffy nose and congestion. Oldest granddaughter has a fever. The position we've taken is we would rather face it than to live in fear.
Not this one! And it's not just me, most the people I know would agree.Americans disagree with you.
We must live in different worlds.But it's also because he made a huge step forward in solving our medical care issues, made America respected again in the world, and pulled us out of an economic tailspin, leading the longest economic expansion in U.S. history.
Actually, that was why we elected him. To try to recover from the damage done by Obama, the Clintons, and the Bushes.and it was mostly because Trump's irrational hatred for Obama made him try to erase anything Obama did.
Just so.If they can get people to worry, they can sell you papers tomorrow or get you to tune into their television station.
My opinion, everyone wants a savior, and the government is trying to sale " we're your huckleberry"Just so.
And the entire population is manupulated by toothpaste vendors.
