Do you think masking is a predictor of covid deaths? I don’t see how they could be related, the goal of the mask and other lockdown policy is to stop the spread which as the case counts show is not Likely a factor, case counts seem to go based on state population. As for covid outcomes including death it would be more logical to look at age, such as Florida’s elderly population, obesity and other health problems correlated with death. If one wanted to correlate death rate per capita you would have to notice New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Michigan who had very high death rates, much higher then California, Texas and Florida, despite very strict lockdown policy. I see a lot more correlation when looking at states by obesity and death rates per capita including Mississippi at the top and Hawaii at the bottom.
I think it’s pretty clear what factors affect covid outcomes. I do not think lockdown and masking policies did anything statistically significant to stop the spread of covid, they did do a lot of real harm though which I felt myself. All of this does not address the fact that the children who were innocent, at little risk from covid and forced to deal with some of the harshest lockdown consequences, some of which will last a lifetime. I’m asking that we look at the situation objectively now that it’s over and learn what we did wrong, who suffered from bad guidance and learn from it.
