Beginning May of last year, I developed an Excel spreadsheet concerning the virus relying on the John Hopkins site for virus data and Wikipedia for population and political data for the states. I have updated it occasionally regarding the virus. The April 21 tab includes Sweden, which of course is famous for having few restrictions. As of that date, its experience in terms of deaths per million beat all but 15 of our states.

For that date I also computed the average death rate for the five adjacent states in the NE megalopolis (MA, NJ, NY, RI, CT) and it was 2,560. Most Swedes live in the southwest, which means it is also highly urbanized. Sweden’s death rate of 1,365.43 is about half for a similar population density.

For 2016 you can also note that collectively the five states had one Republican governor and ten Republicans in the Congress. Maybe this should be considered a Democrat disease?

e left are trying, and likely will succeed with their low info supporters, to convince them that this is a republican pandemic. They are constantly going after DeSantis, Texas, Mississippi, and any other states that refused to give in to fear. The left are fz.sely claiming daily that cases are surging In Those states compare to other states
