At the very beginning it was winter in the Northeast and treatment protocols were being development. Is it fair to even compare the virus that came into NY during Jan to a state where it came after 6 months of study, data and summer weather?
- heavyset_go 5y ago> At the very beginning it was winter in the Northeast and treatment protocols were being development. These two factors are key, in my opinion. Infection rates and deaths fell dramatically in the NE after a better understanding of how to treat COVID was gained, after mitigations for spread were implemented, and after the spring. Those rates also stayed relatively low for the remainder of the pandemic compared to other states, as well.
