I don't disagree with Gottlieb much, but do here.

NY, NJ, CT didn't crush the virus.

THE VIRUS CRUSHED THEM.

I do agree that other states didn't wisely is that time to do better though. They had a window of opportunity and took a pass.
New Jersey lost ONE SIXTH OF THEIR NURSING HOME POPULATION.

ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX.

Even as bad as AZ is doing now, they aren't anywhere near that.
There is just no way you can look at this chart, and say anything other than "NJ, NY, CT, MA, RI, DC, LA, MI, and IL did absolutely horrible".

Looking at this particular moment in time, and ignoring that, simply isn't scientific.

You'll note Arizona...is at the bottom.
Why did I list those up to Illinois?

Because IL death rate is 578 deaths per million.

Why is that number significant?

Because that is EXACTLY the death rate ITALY has.
I have been extremely critical of AZ, TX, FL...and they deserve that.

But no one is doing as bad as NY et al. Nobody.
