What we'd have to do is look at "excess death" statistics, because many covid victims, not just in FL, had other causes on the death certificate.

"In some counties, just half of the spike in deaths during the pandemic is attributed to COVID-19. Researchers say that points to a massive undercount."

We may have lost 2 million. We can be sure that covid deaths were undercounted.

There are a lot of ways a dishonest regime can frustrate fact-finding. After all, the Texas lt gov openly stated that grandma and grandpa shuld be willing to sacrifice their lives for "the economy". Really.

"The Republican governor was already facing attacks by local officials upset he put the new “pod“ in the county’s two wealthiest zip codes, even as racial disparities continue to affect the state’s vaccine rollout, and he had blunt message he wanted to deliver in person: If you don’t like it, we’ll leave."
