This looks at two different slices of the data highlighted by NPR and the diary by TheCriticalMind.
Using data from the MIT Election Lab, I created two other slices from NY Times COVID data.
The above chart shows the average deaths per 100K since 5/1/21 based on winner of that county (Biden or Trump). The red bar is the average deaths per 100k in the counties in that state that went for Trump. The blue bar is the average for the counties in that state that Biden won. The label shows the State, who won the State and whether the Governor is Republican or Democrat.
In the vast majority of states, deaths are lower in counties Biden won vs counties Trump won. Republican deception most likely on Facebook and other social media shared among the brainwashed.
Biden counties have a slightly higher number of deaths per 100k in Arkansas (+14), North Dakota (+19), and South Dakota (+6).
Some of the counties Biden won could still have a large segment of Trump supporters, and most of those are explainable by Republican Governors rooting for COVID.
Here is another slice:
Color code:
Red — Trump Won and Republican Governor
Orange — Trump Won and Democratic Governor
Purple — Biden Won and Republican Governor
Blue — Biden Won and Democratic Governor
Of the 19 states with average deaths below 30 per 100k, 14 voted for Biden.
But it is pretty clear where the Republicans are working tirelessly to ensure COVID wins and have more people die. 12 of the top 13 most deadly states are states Trump won.
No freedom from COVID for them.
For some liberties — the kind that ignore science — death is not an OR, it’s an AND.
