He's absolutely right!!

Rand Paul asks if Fauci will praise DeSantis over virus response: Florida has 5 times fewer per capita deaths yet ‘identical’ infections as New York

Sen. Rand Paul expressed that Florida is doing a better job handling the coronavirus in terms of “per capita deaths” and wondered to his Twitter followers whether White House coronavirus response team member Dr. Anthony Fauci would acknowledge the data.

“FL and NY have an identical number of per capita coronavirus infections but FL has 5X less per capita deaths,” the Kentucky Republican tweeted Monday. “Will Dr. Fauci be praising @GovRonDeSantis’ response to the pandemic? Will he point out that @NYGovCuomo’s response allowed a fivefold greater per capita death rate?”...........

............When given the opportunity to voice his concerns to Fauci directly at a Senate hearing in late June, Paul criticized Fauci for advising against reopening schools.

“We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best for everyone,” Paul said. “Only decentralized power and decision-making based on millions of individualized situations can arrive at what risk and behaviors each individual will choose. That’s what America was founded on, not a herd with Washington telling us what to do and like sheep, we blindly follow.”

Absolutely.  He has come out a couple a times on this issue; the shutdown violates our Constitutional rights.

Plus he was able to stop an outbreak without reverting to draconian lockdown or hard mask mandates. Florida's can counts are falling rapidly.

Plus, of all the people qualified to speak on this issue, Paul—who, as many recall,.  actually had the virus earlier this year and survived—is probably more qualified than anyone in Congress.

Is Florida's substantially lower death rate a byproduct of leadership or the is it due to the medical community now having more experience on how to treat Covid-19?

If Florida had been hit first, like NY and NJ, wouldn't they have had a similar outcome?

NY sent infected people to nursing homes. Case closed.

My daughter is an ER Nurse in Florida and there are many, many cases that come into her hospital.  Hopefully this pandemic will burn itself out before doctors and nurses and other health professionals get burnt out.
