>> then 43% more people 65 or older per capita does not explain more than 100% more deaths per capita

Why doesn't it? Is there some evidence that it does or doesn't.... or is this more of a claim?

Is there direct evidence that it's masks and not the density and quantity of old people?

Old people makes way more sense to me than our current mask policy of wearing a dirty cloth on your face until you sit down at the restaurant.

Thank you for looking into that, in a hurry I just looked at the ranking.

>>Florida is doing better than earlier: only 4.6% positive (42th highest). Still twice California's 2.1% Still shockingly close, considering they have no Covid restrictions, whatsoever. And Cali has been extremely strict.

I guess it's subjective levels or risk. Is two percent lower infection rate worth it to require everyone to wear masks?
