(65,111 posts)Positivity Rate is 1.0 in NY.
It's 18.4 in Florida & 13.8 in Texas.
But, it is true that NY & NJ have more than 48,000 of the 160k deaths, or >30%.
But, what PINO stupidly says here is that the other 112k are "good".
Really, it would be higher, because at a per capita national average, those 2 states would still be at 18,000. So, even then it would be 130,000 dead!
So, I guess 160,000 is bad, but 130,000 is completely fine!
He literally said take out the two states who are probably in the best shape of anyone now?

Not now!!

She covered this topic in detail.

(4,103 posts)Trump went out of his way to cause those deaths in New York and New Jersey
Trump sent out 1,795 tweets in the months of January and February and not a single one of them was to warn Americans about the pandemic even after he was briefed on how widespread and deadly it was predicted to be, but he did manage to send out a few hundred Tweets to gossip about what he saw on TV during those months.
When he did finally begin tweeting about the COVID-19 pandemic he used it to manufacture drama and chaos at airports causing our international airports to flood unscreened infected passengers into our nation's cities resulting death trolls three times higher than the next closest nation.
