According to a new numbers out this week,
red States have become the newest Corona virus
hotbeds here in the United States. They have
finally overtaken blue States, uh, in total
number of new COVID-19 infections. In fact,
70% of new COVID-19 infections are happening
in red States. Now it gets interesting when
you start digging into these numbers and you
see the breakdown of it because 50% of the
breakouts in the red States are actually happening
in blue counties. So a blue County in a red
state about half the cases, the other half,
of course, red counties. So the only common
factor is that they're in a red state controlled
by a Republican governor. And that is where
the differences do. In fact, come from, we
have seen Republican governors, uh, specifically,
you know, a lot of those down here in the
South and the Southwest pretend that this
thing isn't real tell us that, Oh, well you
got to suck it up for the economy.
That's what they were saying over in Texas.
That's what they've they've said Mississippi,
Alabama actually never. When every other state
of the country had issue, lockdowns, Alabama
was still dragging their feet. They're governor
Republican Kay Ivy, big Trump supporter, who
finally later on decided, okay, I guess we're
going to do it. We're going to do this. But
there was a lot of foot dragging in these
red States. I know I live in one Florida with
our Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, they
have downplayed it. They have hidden the data
like what's happening in Florida, trying to
convince people that everything is O K and
sure. We have plenty of areas down here in
the South and the Southwest where you haven't
had governors issue, any kind of a mandatory
face covering orders. We don't have that down
here in Florida. I actually went to Lowe's
on Thursday of this week.
There's the only store apparently in this
city that I live in that doesn't require face
mass to walk through the door. So do you know
what you see when you walk through the door?
About 80% of the people walking around that
store without a face mask acting like, Oh,
hell yeah, I'm free. I don't have to worry
about germs in here. Any other store, any
other gas station, a drug store, whatever
it is around here, music store, the pet food
store pet. Since every one of them, you can't
walk through the door if you're not wearing
a mask. And so everybody's wearing a mask,
but they think because they're stupid that
if there's not a big sign on the door with
a picture of the mass, then Oh, cool. The
virus can't get me here.
But the fault for that rests at the highest
level of the state and those come from the
governors and the red States are simply not
putting the same kind of restrictions in place,
not putting the same kind of orders in place
to protect people's lives. By the time all
of this has said and done, we're going to
see much higher death tolls in the red States
than we did the blue States. I firmly believe
that because they're already catching up.
Florida and Texas are getting way up there
because of this, because they refuse to take
care of their citizens because they don't
want to, you know, infringe on anybody's freedom.
You know, we can't tell them to wear a mask.
That's communism somehow. No, it's just good
decent policy because apparently people down
here and people all over the country, really
people all over the planet, really, they refuse
to be good human beings and think of others
unless they're absolutely forced to do it.
