1. Louisiana may have a Democratic governor, but

almost everything else about them is (R). As for the remainder, I am not at all surprised, and I suspect that the rankings may be juggled around a little, as many of these states have drastically reduced testing. Looking at you Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

2. I think per capita numbers are the most relevant.

I don't really know what you mean by per person.

3. Yeah I think she muffed that

8. Literally the same thing?

Per capita translates directly to ‘per head’. And it is generally meant as another way of saying per person.

9. You're right, of course!

I was thinking per capita meant per-a-certain-number-of-people--generally for COVID numbers I've seen per 100,000--but that's wrong.

However, what I think threw me off is that I don't get what "Total covid cases per person" means. A person isn't usually going to have more than one case.

4. I want to see % infected repub vs dem in a given area

It seems to me that Repubs don’t take precautions as much as Dems so in a given geographic area Ibthink a higher percentage of Repubs will get infected.

5. She Could Have Kept Going

If I'm not mistaken about the governors' party, I think it's 12 of the top 13.

6. Welp, the top 4 includes my entire family of origin.

I hate to be glad I don’t live there because it’s truly rich in many ways, but that richness is getting destroyed from every direction these days.

7. Why doesn't someone refute him when he blames blue states.

We need some LOUD fact checkers to combat all his lies.

If the democrats have a media communication department they need to do a better job.
