Comparing x with y probably requires some sort of rationalisation to equalise what you're looking at..
So tell me...how many people live in Texas vs NY?
Now note the deaths per milllion - that's a metric that might make a light bulb blink on up there in the shadows
Now.......check out the states below with their rates...do a search and get back to me where the GOP aligned states are compared to the Dem aligned hellholes
Then...get back to me where the u/e rate, economic recovery and quality of life is better and which ones have used lockdown more than others
