Suffice it to say that NY and FL are no where close to same rate of death once you account for the initial wave. Almost twice as high a death rate in FL than in NY between June 2020 and now.
MA was closer to 30% of that states' total deaths occurred in those first weeks, and NJ was 40%, so less of a difference, but definitely a significant one.
Again, point isn't that mask mandates and lockdowns are effective, but i guess my initial reaction was right that comparing those two with respect to death rate definitely does not support an argument as initially stated.
