New York, New Jersey, and California failed in their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic because of strict lockdowns and policies, while Florida was among the best-performing states in the country, according to a new study. The study, published by the Committee To Unleash Prosperity, graded states by the number of deaths, the economy, and impact on education. The study reported the states that locked down businesses, churches, schools and restaurants for lengthy periods did not have lower death rates than those that largely remained open.
