With No Lockdown or Compulsory Muzzling, Florida Has Roughly Same Hospitalization Level as 2018 Flu Season
In other words: it's doing far better than Maoist California

We are being told that our liberties must be suspended in order to keep hospitals from reaching apocalyptic levels. But what if those levels are just above normal and not anywhere near apocalyptic levels? And what if these lockdown measures do nothing to keep the levels down anyway?
Ireland had a very loose, relaxed December as far as restrictions are concerned. The huge increase in cases only came after restrictions were substantially relaxed. Ireland's case numbers actually correlate really well with restrictions, e.g., the drop in November. pic.twitter.com/xZwx1P7pCN

Well, if there is anywhere we can cross-check this hypothesis, it would be in Florida, where there is no lockdown or mask mandate. In fact, people are flocking there from out of state to enjoy vacations and host conferences and even to live. Naturally, we'd expect hospital levels to be bursting at the seams if they rise and fall with lockdowns and masks, right? Well, actually, you can barely see an increase in the hospitalization level in the Sunshine State from previous years, and the current level appears to be on par with the 2018 flu season, which was more of a pandemic flu than other flus in recent years. And in 2018, we did nothing as a nation to suspend liberties. There is much debate over how to count a COVID hospitalization given the rampant and unprecedented testing of people relative to past flus. But one easy way to observe an apples-to-apples comparison to past flu seasons is to compare the overall average daily census of hospitalizations now to previous years and adjust those numbers per capita to existing population. In other words, if all of the COVID patients are legitimately there because of COVID, we would see an enormous excess in the total number of people in the hospital at any given moment for any ailment. Florida is simply not seeing a gigantic increase.
Fauci has specifically praised New York for having one of the two "best" Covid responses, and specifically targeted Florida for criticism

At this point, with what's happened afterwards, it's abundantly clear that he doesn't look at results, just compliance with what he dictates pic.twitter.com/bctHsJIZ9K
Here is how the math works: HHS tracks total daily hospital levels in all the states dating back to Jan. 1, 2020. If you take the average daily total hospitalization levels in Florida for the fourth quarter of 2020, you will find an average (some days are more, some are less) of 43,150.
Naturally, I wondered what the levels were in previous years, because the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration publishes quarterly data of hospital censuses for several recent years. I started with the first quarter of 2018, which included the harshest flu season we had in a decade. If you average the total hospital census over the 90 days from Jan. 1 to March 31, it works out to 41,094 people in the hospital on an average day. Adjusting for the population at the time, that would be 1,972 hospitalizations per 1 million people. That is compared to 1,998 per 1 million for this past quarter of 2020 with COVID as the predominant illness.

Look what the Covidcrats in the UK did to the British people:
70,000 households in UK made homeless during pandemic
Have people seen what the Covidcrats in Scotland are doing? They beat the shit out of a family when a snitch reported there were "too many people in the house."
