I think this goes to the heart of how badly this man-made pandemic has been handled by politicians who call themselves leaders. This extends from world-wide leadership to local leadership. The mayor of Nashville literally shut down all business under Trump, but I am not sure he has made one move, speech or any real action since Biden took over. Add that to the nonsense of Fauci and you have a recipe for failed government.I've noticed that when this sort of thing happens (in Europe or in blue states in the US), the spike is framed differently. If Florida has a spike, the framing is that because Ron Desantis is a science-denier who doesn't care if people live or die, there's a spike in cases. The cause of the spike is presumed without evidence and written into the narrative. If Germany or a blue state run by leaders the media likes has a spike, the framing is that the country or state is being "hit hard" with a spike. Causation for the spike is simply ignored.
