Coronavirus Deaths: The Most Predictive Factor

[QUOTE
here is only one reliable metric that reveals how likely you are to die from COVID-19 in a given state, and it isn’t what you’re seeing in the legacy media. The number of new cases and deaths, for example, are staples of news stories about the pandemic. Neither of these factoids, however, tells us very much in the absence of sophisticated epidemiological data that just isn’t yet available. A far more predictive metric is “death rate per million.” Why? Testing is far more consistent for fatal cases. By this measurement, you are probably more likely to die from coronavirus if you live in a blue state rather than one of its scarlet counterparts.


If you live in New Jersey, you are 13 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than if you live in Florida. The Garden State’s death rate per million is 895.2, according to the RealClearPolitics coronavirus tracker, compared to only 65.1 deaths per million for Florida. This disparity can’t be written off to demography or testing. Florida has a huge elderly population, and it has conducted twice as many tests as New Jersey. Finally, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis resisted the draconian stay-at-home orders imposed by his Democratic counterpart in New Jersey and hasn’t been afraid to point out that he was right:

Any seeming discrepancy is because not every place is at the same point in the growth curve. When all is said and done and the numbers are counted the death rate should be fairly similar everywhere.

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023 | Statista

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

If you live in New Jersey you are 13 times more likely to die from covid-19 than if you live in California- the bluest of blue states.
If you live in Georgia, you are twice as likely to die from covid- 19 than if you live in California- the bluest of blue states.
If you live in Louisiana, you are 8 times more likely to die from covid-19 than if you live in California- the bluest of blue states.

And if you live in Puerto Rico- you are half as likely to die from covid-19 than if you live in neighboring Florida.

By this measurement- you are far more likely to die from covid-19 if you speak English rather than Spanish........

Higher concentration of people.

Calhoun's rat utopia experiments immediately come to mind.

Democrats do tend to be walking biohazards and higher population density is commonly associated with not only increased behavioral sink activities, but also Democrat partisanship.

For example, Democrats just seem to be less disgusted by human fecal matter. And evidence strongly indicates that Democrats are much less risk averse than Republicans regarding ass to mouth or engaging in homosexual intercourse. And compelling evidence also indicates that the virus can be transmitted via the fecal-oral route. This puts Democrats at a significantly higher risk of dying from COVID-19 for obvious reasons, regardless of the fact that Republicans tend to be older.

Study: COVID-19 Is Also Spread by Fecal-Oral Route

Also new: Like SARS, COVID-19 may induce liver damage

www.medpagetoday.com

In a nutshell, the higher incidence of COVID-19 among Democrats can be attributed to the fact that, for the most part, they are generally disgusting, unhygienic, shit-eating morons.
