The problem is, every few weeks there's a new "well, if you ignore this state, the US is doing really well" story.
CA is still only 34th/50 per capita in infections and 40th/50 per capita in deaths.
We can't exclude outliers and expect to get a useful dataset. Especially when those outliers change all the time, and exhibit the same patterns as each other.
- tomohawk 6y agoAccording to the link I provided to the CDC, CA is at 95 per 100k, which is way more than any other state at this time.
- mkl 6y agoThat's in the last 7 days only. Is that what you mean by "at this time"? California is doing better than most US states in the longer term, and even the "best" state long term, Vermont, seems to be worse off than most countries.
