Covid data

The experts feel they know what is best for Covid protection but that is not the case as witnessed by looking at data from California and Florida. Both states have similar death rates as a percent of population but Florida has been open while California has followed the CDC guidelines. These hidden differences must be uncovered to get a thorough understanding of the problem. In California 8.75% test positive and 1.55% of those die. In Florida 8.84% test positive and 1.62% of those die. This is close even though Florida has a higher percent of elderly. Simple things should be investigated. For example why do some poor African countries have such low death rates. Answer, they have a large young populations. Does life style have an effect. We know obesity does but what about other diet factors. What about professions and working conditions. Experts will have all summer to analyze the data and come up with helpful hints for next flu season.
