    Yeah I lived under the rule of Desantis in Florida under the first Trump administration. Keeping track of what happened in other countries was near impossible. (Can’t say I upgraded much either, as now it’s Bill Lee here in Tennessee)

      Way I see it, US states are pretty much equivalent to EU countries anyway. There’s a lot of them, they’re big, and they can have quite differing politics.

      Few Europeans know what’s going on in each different US state. Few Americans know what’s going on in each different EU country. It’s fine. I bet neither of us know what Ghana or Kenya did for their COVID response.

        Florida allowed rules that bars and clubs could stay open so long as they served food. So the nightclub near me at the time put a hot dog roller downstairs and told people to try not to grind on each other when dancing.

        That was most of our lockdown.

          I like the hot dog roller in the night club. Not a fan of letting a bunch of people get together during a pandemic and a bunch of people dying, but oh well, you win some, you lose some
