In the past few weeks, I wrote More articles More reasonably than I can remember Ongoing battle Between the left and Florida, including their governor Ron DeSantis.As the media reported, Florida has always been Terrible Although 93% of senior citizens in the state have received at least one dose of the vaccine, they are still struggling with the Delta variant. In addition, as the leftists have said, the lack of mask requirements is entirely to blame for the surge, and if the evil Ron DeSantis just imposes them, everything will be fine.
My response to this is consistent: COVID appears to be seasonal, and certain areas of the country will have waves at different times, as we have seen in 2020. There were waves in Florida and Texas at the same time last summer, and seeing this happen again does not prove that they were doing something wrong. On the contrary, time is cyclical, and my assertion will prove to be correct because we see peaks in other states.
Well, things happened as predicted and shattered the media narrative in the process.
The State of Hawaii announced that Friday’s number of Covid-19 cases hit a new record in a single day.
Governor David Iger acknowledged that Friday’s large number of figures was partly due to the lag in the report, but said the overall trend was still at a level they had never seen before. https://t.co/yJaHZWPqJH

Note that Hawaii is nearly 5,000 miles from Florida, which includes the vast ocean, so any assertion that Floridans somehow caused the current surge in the Pacific Ocean is ridiculous. On the contrary, Hawaii has very strict requirements for masks (indoor and outdoor), and if you look at past trends, it happens to be hit by Delta at the time you expected.
evidence? – The largest in Hawaii Previous peak It happened in August 2020, the month they saw their peak this year.
However, it’s not just Hawaii. Many Midwestern states are now seeing the same trend.
In the past one or two days, PA, OH, MI, IN, IL, and WI have seen a large number of cases increase at the same time. Are they all suddenly exhibiting unstable behavior, or are there seasonal patterns that lead to peaks? Let’s go to our CDC correspondent Mr. Case Curve to take a look. pic.twitter.com/hHDdMtLeSt

if you Follow the data, It says we will see another attack in the Northeast later in the fall/winter months. It’s not complicated, but partisan prejudice promoted discussions under the guise of “science” throughout the summer. In fact, Florida, Texas, and the South are being hit hard by Delta because this is when they were hit hard by Alpha last year. The virus operates in a seasonal manner, and this will become more apparent as more data is collected at the end of the year.
However, the most important thing here is to pay attention to what does not work. The mask command does not work. The virus has its waves-regardless of whether a state has authorization or not. This means that Florida, which was the first to be criticized, has largely proven correct. No mask command will magically solve their situation. If the mask is effective, then Hawaii (actually a group of islands in the middle of the ocean) will not have its largest peak so far.
Honestly, I am tired of repeating myself at this point, but I will continue to do so anyway.Correlation between mask injunction and transmission does not exist. This may be uncomfortable for fact-checkers on social media, but Data is by my side, And all I can do is share this data. Anyone who suspects that COVID is seasonal and cannot be defeated by the mask enforcement order can check back in three months. We will see the same peaks in the same states at about the same time, regardless of whether these states have regulations for wearing masks.
From this perspective, the virus cannot be “smashed.” It can only be managed through vaccination, natural immunity, and the recognition that certain populations are not statistically vulnerable. Vaccination of the elderly, obese people, and people with other comorbidities should be a priority, rather than making 8-year-old children wear masks in school. Common sense needs to prevail.
