Except that a staggering 42% of all coronavirus deaths are in deep blue states of New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Deep red states like South Dakota have had very very few deaths. Republican states are vastly better off.
In the hospital I work at in southern NJ as of last week we had a total of 13 confirmed Covid positive cases. And we have a capacity of about 600 beds. Typically we have about 350 to 400 patients at anyone time. During flu season it spikes up a bit but 13 Covid cases doesn’t sound like a pandemic to me.
“Deep red states like South Dakota have had very very few deaths. Republican states are vastly better off.”
Because the freedom permitting citizens to NOT wear masks created herd immunity. That’s exactly why God gave us kick-ass immune systems. Avoiding every cootie with a mask or distancing just makes a system more vulnerable.
OTOH, who’s to say more deaths in blue states is a bad thing? Certainly not I. If they’re going for Darwin Awards, let them.
