Locked

โ€˜Lockdownโ€™ states like California did better economically than โ€˜looserโ€™ states like Florida, new COVID data shows.

I believe this to some extent, but huge confounder: California is where most of the tech industry is, and this industry benefited enormously from the work-from-home surge. Control for that factor and I bet those numbers donโ€™t look quite so rosy.

Iโ€™d still expect some small benefit from lockdowns, especially early, but at what price?
