    I wonder if this had anything to do with people just growing tired of the lockdowns. I know there was a surge after Spring break last year but this trend started in the summer.

    Why do you think there was this shift in number of deaths in Republic run states?

    Why? It's no secret that republicans were anti masks just like their golden leader. I would ask why if the numbers weren't different.

    I just cannot take seriously articles written about death rates and case rates determined by a test not designed for diagnostic purposes.

    Christ, it's like talking about The Emperor's New Clothes.

    The highly emotional Operation Covid Narrative is bankrupt, for many months.

    Ah yes, look at the Emperor's healthy lungs as he coughs and wheezes for several minutes! He surely has the healthiest lungs in the empire, unlike that one Satrap who mandated his citizens wear masks. Look at how unhealthy his lungs are, for he does not cough and wheeze like the Emperor.

    But seriously if medical experts say that masks work and the governors say masks don't work/make them mandatory? Don't be surprised.

    Interesting and predictable but the denialists, conspiracy theorists, and extreme right folks won't ever believe in it. They will say Johns Hopkins is faking it.

    Here's the headline:

    States with Republican governors had highest Covid incidence and death rates, study finds

    Here are the states with the highest COVID death rates:

    1. New Jersey (2,769/million)
    2. New York (2,604/million)
    3. Rhode Island (2,477/million)

    The headline is wrong.

    Yup Not just the worst in the country, but the worst in the world. How could this clown get this so wrong?

    MA, which has a GOP gov has moved into the #3 spot, but Dems still have 3 of the top 4. And Rhode Island just through away doses of vaccine rather than using them to vaccinate white folks.

    Rhode Island wasted vaccine by excluding whites from COVID vaccination event.
