  1. LOL. You can’t trust Florida’s official stats at all. We know DeSantis under tested and under reported the totals.

    1. Hey, why don’t you just compare excess death year over year(all deaths, including covid)? Florida is +19% California +28%. Then compare Unemployment rate CA: 9.3(and rising)% Fl: 6.1%(dropping vastly). Florida has the oldest population(Maine doesn’t count) whereas CA is the 5th youngest. (42 years old vs 35 years old) Lockdown and mask mandates is the worst public policy in modern history, only exceeded by slavery and reconciliation. Look at the harm we have done to our kids and how much we have torn our societal fabric with all the business closures. America is build on small businesses which provides employment to 49.2% of the private sector. NOT everything is about covid. Move on.

    2. @ReddishCarp 123 No evidence /facts ??? Excuse me but .There are multiple reports from credible news outlets of COVID-19 deaths in the State of Florida being UNDER REPORTED from as early as APRIL 2020, and of Governor DeSantis offices DIRECTLY being involved in preventing releasing relevant data from HOSPITALS and NURSING HOMES in regards to TESTING and DEATHS from these facilities.

    3. @muadhnate it sounds like you’re denying the numbers, just like trump supporters tbh 💀

    4. Millions have died in Florida!! They’re hiding bodies. Rebekah Jones is super honest and totally not a grifter with a bad past.

    1. The population that is the 2nd oldest in the country should have less than the 5 youngest.

      Use your brain please

  2. A comparison makes no sense because it assumes everyone in California followed the States orders. Some didn’t and that was more than enough for the pandemic to spread.

    1. Yep. Sad, but true. There are a lot more anti-science Trumpists in CA, than people realize. Of CA voters registered by party, only 60% are Democrats. There are also many rural & wealthy areas that are traditionally Republican.

    1. He has most of the vaccines in red parts of florida. Mostly ne fl. I think availability should be in more hot zones like miami and orlando

    2. Most Walgreens an Winn Dixie are offering a shot what are you talking about……an can you include the majority of minorities that don’t even WANT this vaccine

    3. No hes not. The “comtroversy” is vaccines were given to rich white old people, instead of prioritizing poor brown people.

      Insanity.

    4. @Andrew Evans it’s still a pain for most of the urban areas to get the vaccine. It’s very limited, and won’t be a plentiful supply till may which sucks

    1. @Dave Waldon Wow, you don’t hear from the Log cabin Republicans to much anymore. Great to see you guys are still around.

      Take care buddy. Hope you and your husband have an awesome time at Disney land.

    2. @dayone thousands of illegal immigrants with covid coming through our borders but we have to stay locked down 🤦🐑💯

    3. There is no evidence of that though. Usually when you make such a stupid and ridiculous claim you have to back it up with EVIDENCE and SOURCES. The burden of proof is on you.

  3. You forgot to mention, if california had the underreporting shenanigans of florida……
    Who was it that said to do less testing…..

    1. @ReddishCarp 123 It is the deranged Trumpets who have TDS for their deranged “leader”. Look at the Capital insurrection. It is a cult of deranged worshippers. Nice try, but deranged and Trump are forever linked.

  4. FROM a CALIFORNIAN! In California, we had a lockdown but not everybody was following the rules so what lockdown

  5. Florida and New York has more in common than we think! They both like hiding COVID numbers 😉

  6. The death rate per population was about the same, but the death rate per number of cases was higher in Florida: 1.7% in Florida and 1.5% in California. One would also have to look at the variants affecting both states.

    1. 4.8% unemployment. Kids in school, businesses open. 2nd oldest population 27th in deaths per million and falling

      Compare to 9% unemployment. Kids not in schools. Businesses closed. 5th youngest population. 29th in deaths per million and climbing

  7. Explain this. Florida residents love their Governor and he’s being talked about as a presidential candidate. California residents loathe their Governor and he’s about to be recalled. No talk of a continued political career for him.

  8. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

    1. I’m from the UK, I and my colleagues gave him a try and it has been good returns of our investment, Thanks Mr Michael Lewiston

    2. Really y’all know him? I even thought I’m the only one he has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading crypto currency

    3. @Serah Fabregas Yes I can believe that, I got victory with him, I was so sad after receiving the first payment knowing I invested so low with fear😓😫

    4. I am happy for taking the bold step in working and investing $2000 with Mr Michael for people to talk this good about him

  9. Lol comparing Florida and California to each other, is like trying to decide which flaming turd smells better…

  10. 9 out of 10 when adjusted for capita in both states. It’s in the video at the three min mark. What more to ask ?

  11. MSNBC viewers: I’m curious if the numbers are ABOUT the same how is Florida a failure?? Am I missing something?
