The #1 State In Covid Deaths Per Capita Is No Longer New Jersey Or New York

[SoCalDavidS]

It is now Mississippi.

And Louisiana is 3rd, and will likely overtake NJ before too long.

Eventually, the top 5 states are all going to be Red states as AZ, AL & AR are closing in fast.

1. And I read TN is #1 for new cases

Racing to the bottom! Swirling the drain.

3. But of course Florida is doing such a great job almost no one dies

Or so they want us to believe. The numbers are probably out there but don’t seem to show up on worldometers.

4. Absolutely True

Still, FL is now 12th in terms of per capita deaths, and destined for the top 10 before September is over.

The #'s post, just not in a timely manner. But if you watch, you can see the cumulative #'s rising.

11. I heard Florida decided to report deaths on date of death, not date of report of death

which means they are always updating prior dates. The death rate is still high.

14. Yeah, it makes a graph look like the numbers are tailing off

as if something's gone right recently - when it's just that only a few have been listed as happening on the most recent days so far. see eg https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/florida/#graph-deaths-daily

compared with, say, Texas, which is still listed by "day reported", so gives a meaningful picture that deaths are still rising: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/#graph-deaths-daily

5. In all seriousness winter is coming and school starts later up north.

I am not saying some of these unvaccinated hellholes will not surpass the north east. But in reality I would not be so quick to go a victory dance.

8. No Victory Dance Here

I'd much rather not have to worry about Covid, but here we are.

The red states are going to dominate the Top 10. There's no doubt in my mind about that. NJ, NY & MA are going to continue getting surpassed.

6. Probably should be Florida, but DeSatan has

Lying about the numbers from the beginning.

[hlthe2b]

7. Florida should be 1,2, or 3 at least. DeSantis has been "reclassifying" cause of death to limit #

and other false reporting of the data.

[SoCalDavidS]

9. Of Course He Is

He wants that nomination so bad, he's willing to do ANYTHING to get it.

And thanks to the POS media in this country, and the brain dead voters in FL, continually sucking up to him, he likely will.

[BigmanPigman]

10. FL is lying.

The real numbers are probably 25% higher than they are reporting. I bet FL isn't alone either.

[quakerboy]

12. AZ isnt really a red state

Its a blue state with a spoiled leftover problem.

[ananda]

13. Florida would already be #1, or maybe Texas..

if not for all that fudged and under-reporting.
