Someone below pointed out something that I thought was worth noting here. I forgot to mention that California also has places away from the big cities that are not in such a fearful state. Where life is going on as normal for the most part. I've even heard that San Diego is much more normal than the Bay Area these days. California is a massive and unbelievably beautiful state and my heart is here. That's why it's sad to see it so mismanaged and dragged down with draconian policies--that by the numbers at a state level--are not making it much better off with covid deaths than a state like Florida that is charging forward, free, and open. And that's not to mention all of the other things that come with a repressed society like depression, losing a job or business, kids not in school, etc. Kids in Florida have been in school all school year and kids and San Francisco are still "learning" from home almost a year into this pandemic (actually private schools are open but public schools are closed, that's nice isn't it? 🤔). It's brutal for both the kids and parents here. I meet up with the most rebellious skater kids on the streets of SF, the types of kids that were like me and hated school... they all uniformly say how much they want to go to school now and how they feel like their lives are on pause. I don't have all the answers guys and I'm not pretending to. I just wanted to show you what I saw and also document this moment in history, to ask some of the questions I think we all want answers to. Also, I really want to get in with some frontline workers in L.A. so if any of you know someone working on the frontline of this pandemic in L.A. please contact me at: [e-mail]

You are not taking into account that many no symptoms cases enter into the country through California. California is a huge economy and essential workers still pack the freeways. People is the Bay Area still travel and shops. Look at San Francisco freeways on the weekend. Look at KZbin videos of Californian visiting Tahoe, Yosemite, Vegas. Look at the outdoor dining on the local news. California is not locked up like Italy and China. California just have stay at home order to reduce cases to manageable levels and protect the spread to other parts of the country. Not everyone are vulnerable. It is your opinions to wether or not to protect those that are vulnerable in your communities, and the rest of the country. Grandmas and grandpas that helped built this country. Grandmas and grandpas that still teaches your children in school. The unfortunate people who are sick and defenseless. As Americans you have the freedom to choose. Help protect other American or wish that they Rest In Peace.

As a Floridian, obviously who runs your state is important. I'm independent but the stark difference from blue states to red states is undeniable unless your so bias you ignore facts. Also, we are dealing with Covid better because being open for so long we realized that the lockdowns don't work and only cause more economic and health problems. So the longer we are open the more we want to stay free and learn what works. Having the government or nongovernmental entities figure this out never works, you think people would know this. The Great Reset! That's what this is all about not about protecting granny. We are free down here but they are coming for us. For all of us.

[@paulohyp]

Congratz on being a thinking human. I feel ashamed by lunatics that demand lockdowns based on NOTHING.

[@annieacevedocruz]

Exactly. Peter said this isn’t political. It absolutely is! There is more to the shut downs than just Covid. As we can see from states that have not shut down vs those that are currently shut down. There isn’t much difference in Covid transmissions or death rates. But our businesses are suffering, people are suffering. Our children are suffering! This is about crippling our economy, our middle class. Make us more dependent on the government. Making way to a socialist/communist government. People need to wake up and fight for their liberty before it’s too late.

Agree 200%, I don't understand the political nonsense but it stands to reason that red states have handled it one way and blue another. It's hard to hear BS in the press but the truth is that we have done well and probably better than most, and we are all SANE!

[@mikeb.7279]

Annie Cruz you are absolutely correct! We’re being played as Peter said. Good news is some people are waking up to this. But it is also absolutely frightening to see how effective this brainwashing has been on the younger generation. It has completely bought into this tyrannical “trial balloon” called COVID and all of its consequences that are intended to instill total fear and to completely destroy all ability for critical thinking The intent is for us to be totally comfortable being controlled by big tech, big government and our corrupt elites. All of this is being sold to us under the facade of building a more “tolerant and just” society. So that anyone who pushes back against the tyranny gets labeled as a an undesirable who should be ousted from mainstream society.

I'm personally torn. On one hand, I agree with Peter and others that the numbers show total lockdowns have not been the answer, and the toll they have taken on our country's collective mental health...well, we all know how devastating that has been. On the other, I lost a family member to the virus, and I am disappointed many Americans think it's totally absurd for the less vulnerable of us to make a few sacrifices for those more vulnerable to the virus. Though the extent of their efficacy is definitely up for debate, I have no doubt that lockdowns saved at least a handful of lives - maybe my parents, maybe yours. Looking forward to what you discover in Los Angeles.

I find this video to be incredibly disingenuous and misleading. First of all, in your San Francisco video, you went to literally the worst part of town, which is primarily a business district and not where people live, to portray the entire city as some kind of apocalyptic hellhole. Why didn't you go to any of the places where people spend their time? No parks? No areas with lots of restaurants? In fact, most restaurants in California with outdoor dining are open and have been open for a long time, with occasional short periods of closure. Hello? Do you even live here? Why don't you go take a look at Dolores Park on a Saturday and see how many people are there? Also, the amount of Covid cases and deaths in San Francisco has been much much lower than the rest of the state, and far below that of Florida. Go down to the beaches in the Bay Area or in LA and you will see thousands of people out and about, and plenty of restaurants open, much like in this Florida visit. I get you are trying to get clickbaity views, but come on.

I don't think Florida has super huge depression I mean I'm not going to sit here and say that it doesn't exist in Florida because we're open. There is still people here in certain places in Florida like Lake City and other smaller towns that might be more closed. But at the end of the day his video shows that being open is a good thing it helps out blue collar workers more than anything and if the numbers don't show a huge difference between lock down and staying open then is the smarter option I would definitely say England is probably one of the most depressed places on this planet with their crazy lockdown

There are a number of problems with directly comparing CA and Florida. It is not like with like. Many of the deaths in CA have been in LA which has one of the highest population densities in the US. There is nothing comparable in Florida. Deaths in San F are incredibly low 468. Miami a smaller city has had 5,792 deaths. So SF has saved thousands of lives in comparison with their tougher approach. That is not something to be brushed off lightly. The US average death rate is 1,695 per million. South Dakota which as has one of the slackest COVID measures average death rate is 2,179 one of the highest in the US (which makes it even more shocking giving the low population density). Vermont, a not too dissimilar population level, which has one of the most strict COVID measures has 359 deaths per million, one of the lowest. Can you imagine the number of deaths there would have been in a populous area like LA if it had taken the S Dakota approach?

Florida has a huge population of tourists as we can see from this video. Are many of the cases contracted returning to other states where they infect older more vulnerable people but only showing on those other states statistics? Also how accurate are Florida's statistics? Many accusations in the first wave that as Fl's statistics exploded the governor had recording methods altered to read the way he'd prefer them to look.

[@charlielawson137]

@@seandoherty925 indeed probably better to compare the uk with France or Italy in terms of population density.

Not sure we will every be able to compare who did well and what the right approach was as the end of the pandemic as every country records statistics so differently and it gets political too. Leaving the health aspect to one side this video really shows how damaging lockdowns are to people’s well-being. Also I think the uk is at a disadvantage also due to the country being relatively small as well as dense in terms of population.

LA has been less restrictive than SF and their Covid deaths are much higher. I don't sense the anxiety that you are seeing in SF. The financial district is a ghost town because workers in tech and finance are working from home. I live near Golden Gate Park and it's full of people. I go hiking in Marin county every weekend and people are on the trails. People are more mindful in SF than other places with the masks especially the Asian communities. Chinatown was especially susceptible to Covid and they did a remarkable job of protecting a vulnerable population. The principal nursing home in SF had very few Covid deaths because the city was on top of it. Covid has hurt the Latino population in California especially in SoCal for a variety of reasons including crowded living conditions.

@@victorialove9104 of course, only the strong survive. Elders were apparently thrown to the wolves. However, I believe Sweden has a different policy now, which will be appropriate for the newer more contagious variants roaming around the earth that do greater damage to young people. (Hopefully the current vaccines will keep the variants at bay, and our vaccination pace around the world will speed up.)

You should look at Japan. They have no problem with masks, everyone's been wearing them when sick/ during cold season even before the pandemic. Their numbers of COVID deaths are super low compared to the US. In your words: Look at the data.

@@sgs1262 obesity has nothing to do with getting the virus or not. An obese person might get more ill once they have COVID due to other health problems. But no difference in getting infected or not.

Having been born in Florida and lived there over 4 decades, thank you for showing who and what we are, our attitudes and outlooks, and not just the crazy "a Florida man" blah blah blah....Dont get me wrong...there are a lot of other wonderful places within this country but there's NO PLACE I'd rather be ❤

[@RoxanneLavender]

I've traveled around a few places in the US and Miami was by far my favourite. I got a big tub of ice cream and just ate it whilst walking down the street. I'm from England, we don't do that here, even when it's really hot. I felt so comfortable in Miami.

[@druu988]

People shouldn’t just move to somewhere just because of a temporary lockdown we had in the United States now since the pandemic is over, I wonder if people regret moving down to Florida

[@Solarcloud]

Nope, been here a year and a half BECAUSE of covid and rising costs where we came from. This is paradise, proud to raise my family here. Proud to consider myself a Floridian. Best state and i've live in many.

FL is not open if it's requiring masks, How is that "open"?

[@Wheresgiovi]

@@TheHealthyAmericanPeggyHall yes, you are correct, there are mask requirements but the attitude towards them there is more open. For example, when I was in Cape Cod, the peer pressure to wear a mask was super high. Even while in public, very open spaces whereas when I was in Tampa, Florida , the pressure is no pressure. Everyone for the most part wears their mask to the grocery store and like places. The lack of peer pressure is priceless.

It is exactly a “small government” and trust in the people to make their own choices for their health, when given the information vs. “big government” where a few people in power take away any choice and therefore any power, from the people they govern. It is exactly a difference in political ideology. Liberty comes with risk. ❤️🇺🇸

[@stanleymasterson1135]

In other words, it is the failure of the left versus the sanity and dignity of the right. Democrats destroy everything they touch, as we are seeing with the dementia patient in the White House. As a New Yorker, I know all about left wing mental sickness and destruction

[@wilsonsdrift9462]

He'll no , liberty comes with RESPONSIBILITY not risk. You do not have the 'choice' to infect people around you should carry the virus. It's not a governmental issue , it's being a conscientious human being. Act like an adult.
