Few may have noticed that 42 percent of all COVID deaths in the US come from just three states—New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. These three states account for nearly 56,000 of the nearly 133,000 deaths in the US, even though they represent just 10 percent of the population. If these three states are excluded, the US suddenly finds itself somewhere in between nations such as Luxembourg (176/1M) and Macedonia (166/1M), where some of the better fatality numbers in Europe are found.
Why have New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts suffered so much more than other US states? We don’t yet know the answer to that question, but evidence suggests it could be policy related.
...
Secondly, there is currently a great deal of scrutiny on states such as Florida, Texas, and Arizona, which have seen case numbers increase in recent weeks, a spike that began in mid-June after states reopened their economies. The implication is that these states dropped the ball by reopening too soon.
None of these states, however, has a per capita fatality rate that even approaches New Jersey, Massachusetts, or New York.
...
Considering these numbers, one would not expect to see a governor from New Jersey, New York, or Massachusetts lecture these other states on their handling of the coronavirus. But that’s exactly what Gov. Cuomo did, claiming his state-ordered lockdown “saved lives” and chastening governors who opened their economies.
“I say to them all look at the numbers,” Cuomo said, referring to leaders in the states seeing rises in COVID-19 cases. “You played politics with this virus, and you lost. You told the people of this state, you told the people of this country, the White House, ‘Don’t worry about it. Go about your business.’”

Cuomo is a F’n genius or sumpthin.
Why? Dickhead Democratats. Geez.
Ever.
Prove me wrong.
Bad as the Chinese.
Did you ever smell NYC and NJ?
Agreed. Very good. Thanks for postng
Do any of the woke social justice crowd statue busting protesters account for some of these numbers? After all, those three states are packed with Bernie bros and their witches.
Don’t expect to get an answer from the Fake News Media if they do.
My assh0le leaders have a first name
Its Democ R A T
Trump needs to be holding daily pressers rubbing the media’s nose in numbers like THIS.
Great point And true, of course.
What if a frazzled haired scientist holds up a test tube and declares "I have now proven the inferior dna of Dems makes them highly susceptible to Coronavirus due to a genetic defect within the 9th chromosome. Dems are defective freaks."
You can smell the urine from New York City’s subways and streets in outer space. :-P
New York==========>Rat Governor
New Jersey=========>Rat Governor
Massachusetts=======>Trump hating RINO Governor
Next question please!
3 States Account for 42 Percent of All COVID-19 Deaths in America. Why?>>>>>>>>>>
New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts.
Dem hives.
Now watch as them turn into 3rd world dependents after they defund their police forces.
Does anybody believe any of these numbers?
Yes we do. It's because these states required the most vulnerable places in the states, nursing homes, to take in contagious COVID-19 patients. The fact that the author doesn't understand this makes the rest of this article worthless.
That's exactly what it is - exacerbated by the widespread use of public transit in those states.
When South Korea figured out that hand washing was a critical factor and implemented strict protocols (as in, people were not allowed to enter office buildings without washing their hands at a provided station outside), their case rate - which had been looking ominous - dropped like a stone.
I worked in NYC. Summer in the subways. The urine cooked. Like nothing I ever experienced.
“Why have New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts suffered so much more than other US states?”
Democrats deserve it?
Because they have stupid deep blue state Dem governors who don't have a clue what they are doing.
