she had some things to say about that. Now I think we need a trans mouse as well. So two mice. Two mice is, I don't think two mice is enough. Mice does not represent all of the mice in the public and I think we need, we should definitely have an LGBTQ, a whole range of mice to do this right. Now by the way I don't want to give away some secrets here but I met Candace Owens once. Yeah that Fox Ne…

All right so who is the better decision maker? The tweeter who seems to be criticizing it or DeSantis himself? So here's the argument on one hand. On one hand does it make sense to use a drug that you know is 99 percent going to be useless? That's the point. And not only 99 but that 99 is going to go to 100 like by the time we're done talking right. So the usefulness of it will basically just vanish. So that's a pretty good argument right?
Now here here's what I don't want to do any mind reading but I'll give an argument I guess this would be my own argument that also agrees with DeSantis in its own way. Here's the counter argument. None of our data has been correct yet. All right so 99. So the CDC says 99 plus of everything is Omicron. Here's the counter argument. None of our data's been right. None of it. Name anything that's been right. Do you think we're so precise that we can get 99? I mean and is the 99 also in Florida or is the 99 I guess it would be everywhere if it's 99. Yeah so forget that part.
And then why wouldn't you help the one percent? Is Regeneron so dangerous that if you gave it to a hundred people and only one of them needed it that that would be worse than not giving it to anybody? So I actually don't know the right answer to this one but I think DeSantis has a better argument than is represented by his critic here. What do you think? Does it make sense or is DeSantis just making a political point that's sort of data free?
Yeah the best argument is that the data is all incorrect and why wouldn't you try to fix the one percent and leave it to your doctor and you know maybe if the symptoms are extreme that's the only case you even try it because that's where it makes sense. I don't know. It's a good question. I wonder if DeSantis got this one wrong. It's hard to say.
Well Denmark is doubling down on its February 1st thing, getting rid of their mandates, and they're saying that Denmark no longer classifies COVID-19 as a quote socially critical disease. All restrictions will be lifted February 1st. Boom boom.
So I gave you some updates from visiting a place I didn't specify in which there was very little masking indoors yesterday. I returned to that same place and the 50 percent masking went to about 25 percent. So in one day that one place went from about half masked to 25 masked. And yeah and I'm not saying that I had anything to do with it but I can tell you it's, you can definitely tell what people's

politics are when you walk through a crowded space and there's a mix of masked and unmasked. Have you seen that yet? You go into a space and you're like Republican, Republican, Democrat, Republican, Democrat, Republican. It's pretty easy now isn't it? All right so I don't know if February 1st is, we're going to hit it but let's talk about some more thinking. One of the things I see a lot is why d…
