oh my god how many times are we going to do this?

we're going to do this forever aren't we?

journalism is broken and there is no unbreaking it https://twitter.com/latimes/status/1356280065051521024
Here is when the stay-at-home order, which we are told "worked to turn around a deadly surge" happened
Now. Did the stay at home order work?

Or did the surge just happen and then stop happening because all surges eventually stop happening?

Let's take a look at a "bad" state run by evil monster that the press mocked for being bad

Let's look at Iowa
Here's Iowa, which is poorly run and filled with evil people who just let the virus run rampant

I'll put California, which is good and run by good people who did all the right things, next to them for comparison

Iowa, red bad evil

California, blue good smart
We could do this for almost every single state. Almost every state had a surge that lasted about the same length regardless of mitigations

There is nothing about California's that should make us say "oh yeah, I see, their strategy is obviously superior"
