California (strict lockdowns, mask mandates)

Florida (no lockdowns, no mask mandates)

No fucking difference.

Might have something to do with their population sizes

No. Florida has half the population of California and half the cases (even a bit less).

Lockdowns seem to work very well when there are not many cases spreading in the public. Both New Zealand and Australia and continually gotten down to 0 cases with continual short lock downs and re-openings. I'm in Japan and we just got our cases down by 80% with a 3-month semi-lockdown.

1) correlation does not imply causality

2) people don't do it properly. we could've gotten rid of covid entirely if everyone just stayed at home for 2 months. the only reason we still have it is that we just can't do it.

Yeah, and even if one country could do it, it wouldn't be effective unless either every other country does the same or the borders are completely closed and there is no physical communication with other countries at all.
