Never saw this posted, but excellent breakdown of variables and risks with easy look-up charts. Shows why you need a varied approach towards covid-19 based on many factors. Data is old (Sept), but risk is only dropping.

This is also a good write-up on the comparison to flu:

Unbelievable that world leaders are returning to policies that cause greater harm and have no proof of working.

Florida, fully open with no masks, have deaths continue to drop and are at the same level as April thru July.

Yet people will use the "well that's Florida, what they are doing won't work here" without any justification. Re: Sweden, it's because they naturally distance as a culture (BS). For Florida, it will be because of their climate, or Cuban population, or some other non-scientific rationale.

Which is what some of us have been wishing we did since April.

I think it's all the Florida Rooms they have out there that no one else does. Gives them a built-in advantage.
