    I just saw a convo about teachers needing guidance whether to leave the classroom door open for ventilation from Covid spread or to leave it closed to protect against a school shooting.

    American children are being raised in a terrible national environment.

    The mask mandate only ended in late spring of 2021 in Arizona. The winter wave was before this time.

    What about the latest wave? Because the math you used is regarding the latest wave.

    Otherwise if you're going to go back to the winter, then you need to change the math and it might not work out how you want.

    So please provide the source of your data.

    Obviously the current wave is not over yet -- it is meaningless to talk about the current wave.

    Your data should be based on the last winter wave.

    Lets do the math under the Winter wave, GWB :) Just because I want to stomp on you again.

    High point of cases for Florida in the winter was 20k. Source, worldometers. Same population.

    high point for Arizona last winter was 12k. Source, worldometers.

    Wanna do the math? :) Or shall I.

    At the risk you go silent again, and for posterity, I'll calc it under the winter wave:

    High daily case count for Florida, 20,000. Population previously established at 21.49M. Survey says? .093%

    Same number for Arizona during the winter? High case count of 12,000 with population yields .16% :)

    Looks like a stark difference, of course. Just not the direction you were hoping.

    So yeah, Arizona wasn't better because of masks. As I said.

    Sorry buddy. Wrong again.

    The same data source I've said multiple times now. Worldometers for case count, google for population.

    I note that you only care about the source when the numbers don't work in your favor (you didn't question it the first time hahaha)

    Case count (I am omitting the high print as an anomaly which is to your argument's advantage):

    Highlight over the data on worldometers and you'll see 12k is a good average.

    for Florida, I'm actually calling it 20k even though the average is less - again to your advantage.:
