Age adjusted ranking? But why would anyone do that? The governor of each state has to consider its own population make up, in their decisions....no???
Like the state with the most seniors SHOULD BE more concerned and protective for their state citizens against covid than the state that ranks as the youngest aged population, no???
I live in the state with the oldest population, more old folks as a percentage of total population, than even Florida has....who ranks right under us with the second highest elderly population percentage out of their total population.
My governor took that in to consideration in her strict measures of protection, for them, the most vulnerable of being killed by covid....closures, masks etc....
We've had 2465 total deaths to covid, out of 1,379,000 people....0.00178% of our citizens died from covid... with Gov. Mills measures.
Florida has had 77,377 total deaths to covid, out of 21,781,000 people.... 0.003552% of Florida citizens died from covid.....with Gov. DeSantis measures.
If Florida had taken precautions to protect their elderly, like Maine did, and killed only 0.00178% of their population, as we did here,
then ONLY 38,933 Floridians would be dead instead of 77,377.
I was scared to death that my very elderly parents living there would be killed off, by his lack of concern for old folks like them! I've never prayed so hard in my life, for them!!!
I suppose it is all in the eyes of the beholder, on who thinks DeSantis did great with covid or not.....? I think he stunk at protecting his elderly citizens, he stunk from here, to high heaven!
