Risk factor identified that triples the risk of death from COVID-19?

Somehow I am getting the feeling that these people deserved it or something.

That’s the plan. Conservatives are not going to move to Democrat controlled cities, and hundreds of thousands Democrat voters, programmed to expect life on welfare, could move out of decrepit blue cities into red areas without threatening those cities’ blue dominance.
This is the Democrat plan to reassign their collapsing resources for November.

I hope all of our fellow Americans stay safe.

Rich Lowery’s column today points out that if NYC was a country, it would rank as the sixth most deadly countries for COVID in the world.

It looks like the triple risk factor applies for congressional districts controlled by Democrats as well:

So much for the expected tidal wave of coronavirus in red states such as this rant from Salon back in April:

Not really. Mass Transit requires heavy subsidies so they are revenue negative.

Not at all surprising really since they overwhelmingly represent the highest population centers which are of course almost universally under Democrat control.

Cuomo and the rest should be charged with murder or something!
Cuomo sounds premeditated because he gave Nursing home Excutives immunity over his decision.

They have immunity.

Good Lord.

UPDATE:

The death rate in states with Republican governors is still much lower than that for states with Democratic governors. Here are the details as of August 1.

States with Republican governors had a death rate of 34.2 per 100,000
Population is 149,575,079 and total deaths were 51,142.

States with Democratic governors had a death rate of 55.9 per 100,000.
Population is 178,019,716 and total deaths were 99,434.

Here is the source for the number of deaths from COVID for each state:

Those kind of death comparisons are why we’re the envy of the world.
Keep America Great!

They are not measuring the death rate FROM COVID19. Their stats are measuring the deaths of people WITH ANY KIND OF COVID (Corona virus) PROTEIN in their system, not just COVID 19 protein, plus they are including many deaths of people not even tested for Corona virus PROTEIN but who are ASSUMED COVID infected because of circumstantial evidences such as having been in the vicinity of someone else designated by testing or assumption as COVID positive. There is no Flu any more. The flu stats have been subsumed into the COVID 19 stats to fuel the fear.

It helps to not rush your infected to the nearest nursing home.

Is there evidence of this?

My wife says that a lot. I don’t know what she means by it either. :wink:

Yes, a lot of the difference between the Republican and Democrat numbers comes from the huge number of deaths in the New York area. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut all have Democratic governors, and they grossly underestimated the seriousness of the outbreak there. Their policies of sending infected patients to nursing homes contributed to the high death rates.

There is also a good case that failure to quarantine the New York area spread the disease around the country and resulted in thousands of deaths. Trump floated the idea, but Cuomo vigorously objected and threatened to take legal action against any attempt to restrict travelers from New York.

Ironically Cuomo is now requiring a quarantine on travelers from a long list of states that his policies arguably helped to infect. The CDC says travelers from the Northeast may be a big factor in the outbreaks in the southern US:

Yes, and the Media has completely ignored that truth.

This is just starting to get bad in the Southern Hemisphere.

It still both nauseates and amazes me that Democrats are willing to burn their own country down instead of putting their outrage where it belongs, directed at China and the WHO who ensured it would spread all over the US before even letting us know what was going on.

There’s no question about that and we all warned that would be the case when the exodus from NY to the southern states began.

We should have cut off all interstate travel at the Mason-Dixon Line and the southern states should have cut off all interstate travel period other than absolutely essential supplies and personnel.
