This is not incompetence. This is a deliberate political strategy at all levels. I think it's pretty clear that Fatso and Jared deliberately failed to address the pandemic so as to lay the blame on the Blue States.

Every single person associated with this criminal catastrophe should be in prison, starting with the Fat Infector-in-Chief and his "daughter" Ivanka's husband.

Not the overall death rates of the states in 2018, which is what is at your link.

Google misread my query, and I didn’t check.

Here’s a COVID rate chart. Yes, the NorthEastern states, because of their early exposure and dense populations, still lead cumulatively. But beyond that, there doesn’t appear to be any blue state/red state division. My blue sets rate is below that of Louisiana and Mississippi, and California is way down there.

If you just don't count the dead, they're not dead?

There needs to be a test to qualify to run for president. Because of this right here.
