I assume you meant that Mass' population is 40% that of NZ. (Mathematics comprehension does not appear to be your strong point :=) blame Trump and your arguments are weak It's necessary to look at the timeline. I would attribute deaths up to April 2021 to be the direct result of Trumps policies. Infections that were present in the population on Jan 20, 2021 would require 3 months to fully propagate among the population. Remember it took 3 months for New Zealand's thorough lockdown in Mar 2020 to eliminate Covid from that country. The number of Covid deaths in Mass stood at 14,665 on 18 Apr 2021. The number of Covid deaths in NZ stood at 31, on 17 Apr 2021. That's 473 times more deaths for Mass vs. NZ in raw numbers and nearly 1200 times on a per population basis. Next look at Mass timeline after April 2021. As you noted, there were 25,586 Covid deaths by 10 Apr 2024. It means that 57.3% of Mass' Covid deaths were a direct result of Trump policies for this deep blue state. What about red states? Florida experienced 95,206 Covid deaths by 10 Apr 2024. Its total on 18 Aug 2021 was 34,951. It's percentage of deaths directly related to Trump policies was 36.7%. The remaining 63.3% were the result of the very red state policies of its governor. Tennessee, in honor of an expat motorman from Illinois? 30,726 total deaths in Apr 2024 and 12,756 deaths by 18 Apr 2021. That's 41.5% directly related to Trump and 58.5% due to its freedom from restrictions attitude. |
