. . but you are speculating there.I’m saying that we shouldn’t take lessons on a pandemic from one of the least densely populated states in the country whose decisions harmed other nearby states with higher population densities.So, what are you saying?South Dakota had one of the highest per capita mortality rate and exported outbreaks to nearby states despite being a largely rural and therefore much lower risk state.
Government mitigation efforts and mandates have no affect?

As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.www.statista.com
Interesting.
You are just making blind accusations that their policies harmed other states. You have no proof of that.
You have an agenda, and you don't like the way this governor acted.
From all the studies I have read, mitigation efforts have little to no affect on virus transmission, so your statements are pure poppycock.
BUT? Governor Cuomo sending infected patients back into nursing homes certainly had a demonstrable effect on elderly mortality rates.
Let's not be disingenuous here.
stahp already.
