Greg:
As usual he s full of s..t. Mark Meadows curiously had t o same response and was upset when I said that NY
got things right by finally getting the numbers down and successfully began opening up. I will past e in a note I
sent to Mark:
I am sorry, Mark. I do not think you are missing anything and I understand what you are saying, but I guess we
are just looking at this from different perspectives. NY certainly made mistakes, but we learned a lot from the
difficult experience that they went through that hopefully benefitted cities and states that subsequently got hit.
I am just talking about the fact that they got the numbers down and now they seem to be opening safely and
successfully. Also, please forgive me because I am not trying to be contrary, but let us look at the numbers. The
NY Metropolitan area has a population of 20.3 million. With 32,000 deaths, the death rate at the population
level is 0.0016. Miami Dade county has a population of 2,717,000. With 5000 deaths, the death rate at the
population level is 0.0018, and they are not out of it yet. And so on a population level Florida may ultimately
turn out not to be too different from NY .
I do not want t
o engage any more with this nonsense. An so, please delet e this e-mail after you read it/
Thanks,
ASF
