California completely destroyed its economy. Yet the daily deaths never differed from Texas’s (twitter.com)

Texas shouldn't be left off the hook just because they stopped their insanity slightly before California did. Lot of Red States trying to rewrite history that they were the "sane" ones. No you were all insane; just because you ranked slightly higher in sanity doesn't mean you acted sanely on an objective scale.

Covidists will always insist lockdowns worked, reduced cases and deaths, despite no robust evidence showing they had any positive impact when trying to compare places that did or didn't lockdown.

For example, shutting down non-essential buisness. What good does it do to throw people into unemployment and idle? Nothing.

People with their whole day of nothing, bored, for months, during which they will visit people inside, in tiny rooms, for extended time periods.

Good job!

You shut down schools and sent kids with a sniffle spend all day with their grandparents because the parents can't deal with them being disruptive all day long during their work-from-home day.

Good job!

For example, shutting down non-essential buisness.

And then everyone just spent all day at Home Depot anyway because they were fucking bored. So instead of people spread across hundreds of business they were all in the "essential" (which is to say makes sizable political donations) big box stores.

Biden and co will bail them out. That's probably why they were so brazen in rigging the election, they knew they'd be dead meat and have to face the music with Trump.

By all accounts there is no correlation between lockdowns and coronavirus cases or deaths.

Notice how Texas had a lesser extreme reaction? Almost like the initial exposure ensured people started developing antibodies and the herd immunity process far earlier than california...

Who kept people indoors, unable to develop their own immunities and actually created indoor hotbeds of infection.

North and South Dakota is a similar story. SD, with no masks etc (and greater population density), had less deaths than ND with all their mandates.

This is highly misleading. Although Texas dropped the mandate, masks were still enforced by businesses almost everywhere. People still largely dined out and ordered curbside.

So what you're saying is... The government can keep its nose out of it, and things will still work out fine?

Literally Florida is the only sane state. Locked down instantly when they heard it was a pandemic. Stopped locking down immediately when they realized it was a false alarm. The lack of dead bodies after two weeks was the clue.
