Many places, like Florida, never flattened their curve

What do you base this on?

Florida absolutely flattened the curve. The 7 day rolling average on new cases peaked at 1143 on April 7th. It was 726 on June 1st. If that's not flattening the curve, what would you consider it?

Since 6/1, cases have gone up, based on the reopening. That was always going to happen upon reopening, it's not some gotcha for reopening.

Same goes with Texas.

Texas as of yesterday 6/12:

Texas has about 6,663 ICU beds. We estimate that 42% (2,798) are currently occupied by non-COVID patients. Of the remaining 3,865 ICU beds, we estimate 662 are occupied by COVID cases, or 17% of available beds.


So, what exactly is your point about Texas?

Also not sure where people are getting this revisionist death percentage from? I’m guessing some one-sided sourcing

If that's what you want to call the CDC, have at it.

The CDC estimated a CFR of 0.4% and also stated about 35% of folks are asymptomatic and never test positive. A little simple math tells you the CDC shows a CFR of about .27%.
