extremehead, the problem I see with your Covid breakdown is that it is a state by state comparison. This is easiest because they report the stats by state. I think that if you looked at population centers you would see that the high density of people in some locations makes the death rate higher, obviously. So I think pretending that a shutdown in the town of Fukit Missouri is comparable to a shutdown in NYC is illogical.

You are a logical guy and I appreciate your effort at making your point. I just don’t think the comparison works.
