Recently I posted how Collier County, FL, home of the horrifying unmasked grocery store video, had done so much better than counties in CA & AZ

Well here’s Charlotte County, which is essentially next door

Even though Collier’s not enforcing masks, Charlotte’s also doing worse
In fact, cumulatively, population adjusted deaths are 51% higher in Charlotte County, despite Collier’s lack of compliance

Lee County is in between them &Lee doesn’t have a mask mandate at all

And yet they’re also doing better cumulatively, despite being the highest density
Lee is actually ~4x the density of Charlotte County, but Charlotte’s death rate is 53% higher.

So why are Lee and Collier doing so much better than Charlotte, despite having an unenforced mandate and none at all?

Who cares? The science is crystal clear. Masks work.
Also should point this out, not only does Lee County not have a mandate, they are, uh…open https://twitter.com/jenneraub/status/1354233950760267776
