Completely different approaches, and AZ has 108 cases, while NM has 43. We’ll see who comes out ahead as deaths per state population and bankruptcies.
FYI, AZ population of 7.172 million vs. NM’s population of 2.095 million.
If your numbers are right (twice as many cases in AZ than NM) then NM has many more cases per capita than AZ even with these idiotic and mindless measures.
