You can, because you don't know what you're talking about. Try taking your statement down to one of these centres (https://edurank.org/medicine/respiratory/ca/) and telling them that. Let us know what they say.
Florida's fatality rate per million residents is currently 3,859 - higher than 38 other states, higher than the US average (3,332), and way higher than Maine's at 2,022 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/). If it was a country its fatality rate would be the 10th highest in the world. (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.)
Maine's population of elderly people is about the same as Florida's but the rate at which it's elderly are dying of covid is only slightly over half of Florida's rate.
You were claiming - with no proof - they did something right at one point. I'm showing the folks where their policies have placed them
Thank you. Those numbers say the fatality rate in Maine is lower than in Florida. You should tell the folks where you got them.
I said they did nothing at all, and this proves that the mask mandates didn't do anything useful due to the results that are within margin of error of the national average.
you are comparing a fatality rate of 0.9, 1.14, and 1.10(national average) If you lined up 1000 people prom each group and killed that many, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
also you are comparing apples and oranges when you compare one of the largest states which many people travel to for vacation, and Maine with one of the smallest populations. The whole state of Maine is smaller than the population of a city in one of the larger states. Everyone is much more spread out on average.
Why don't you point to Alaska as an example of masks working. They only had a 0.4% fatality rate. Oh, whats this? They didn't have a mask requirement? oh well that doesn't fit the narrative so that doesn't count.
comparatively one of the most masked states had a fatality rate of 1.13 which was New York
Would seem to me that density of population dictates the lethality, not making
live in a small town, it took almost 2 years before covid spread here enough that I caught it.
Folks, "they" is Florida, and Florida has the 12th worst rate of fatalities from covid in the US. Somehow OP thinks this means they're doing fine. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Assuming those numbers are percents - we don't know, because the source isn't given - that would be 9, 11.4, and 11 people out of each 1,000. Just the fatalities. Also if they are percentages there are 100 of each testing positive for covid, so a bunch of them are taking up hospital beds that people with cancer, heart disease, etc. might not get. Grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends. More of the older than the younger.
As for the "Florida has more elderly" argument, Maine has virtually the same percentage of elderly, but they have lost only 2,022 per million residents to covid, while Florida has lost 3,859 per million.
OP seems to be having trouble with the idea that "per million" represents a rate, rather than a nose count. Presenting the numbers per million of population gives clear comparisons. For each million Maine residents 2,022 have died of covid. In Florida it's 3,859. For the US as a whole it's 3,332. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Again: be suspicious of anonymous people on the Internet who don't supply the source of their numbers, Alaska's death rate from covid is 1,910 per million, slightly less than Maine's. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
That's a factor, for sure, folks, and that's the reason why masks are recommended in crowds. Study after study has shown they work:
2022 Oct 22 "In conclusion, both respirators and medical masks provide a high filtration efficacy against virus containing aerosols in situations with low physical exertion and therefore a very high protection against airborne diseases." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9617726
2022 Jul 25 "The N95 remains the best respiratory protection, and in the event of the next airborne pandemic, FPEs could serve as adequate alternative protection against the viral spread." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35901992/
Etc.
bro, I am using the fucking website you keep posting
fine you want to do by per capita, then explain to me, why New York(one of the most masked), and Florida(no masks) are ranked 9 and 7 respectively? instead of ranking by a tiny state and a large state like you are trying to compare. Dishonest stat manipulation by the way.
And again I will state nobody was wearing those, medical masks were given out publicly, not m95 masks, etc....
Well then say so. Otherwise it looks like you're just another troll pulling numbers out of your ass.
Ranked at what?
Total cases per million? Florida has more than New York.
Total deaths per million? Florida has more than New York.

Anyway, there are a lot of factors in play besides mask use. Social distancing, geographical location, temperature, humidity, wind speed, economic development level, race, high airport or road traffic, state of the healthcare system, and on and on. Choosing to ignore the research that proves the effectiveness of masks at reducing the damage from the virus is your choice.
It's a shame you choose to spread the misinformation.
