One more observation: A lot of people who are very comfortable with cultural explanations in some contexts balk at them in others. Do you believe that red-state America is worse affected because of a refusal to wear masks? Well, surely that, too, is a kind of cultural attitude?
Pssst source on this? So I could have ammo for my lib friends when they ask
Consider when the outbreaks occurred in those states and what we've learned about mitigating the worst cases along the way. Seems important.
That would be a good point, except most of our transportation hubs are in blue states like NY and CA, so they’ve been hit first Maybe study some epidemiology before you expose your own ignorance?https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/10/white-house-covid-outbreak-grows-midwest-hospital-cases-surge …
There's no blue-state America. Los Angeles isn't Sacramento. The death rates are higher because population density is higher in the biggest urban areas, which are all in what you're calling "blue states".
Seems to me that NY/NJ was the epicenter of the first major outbreak, before we knew much about how to treat critical patients. Learning curves are real. Not saying NY state and City didn't make serious errors, but they were the first, and that matters.
This is not true. The first states were CA and WA. They just locked down better unlike NJ and NY. A place like MA had plenty of time to prepare.
1. LA, MS, and AZ are not “blue” states. 2. The NE US was hit earlier and “red” states are now catching up in death rates. 3. “Blue” states generally have higher % of elderly population.
One must not forget, it is not the culture of the people as a whole, but the culture of those 60 years old and older.
