Hey fair enough. FWIW: “New York is The Best at COVID” is very far from a pet slogan of mine. I just think that the comparison to CA is quite fair and that while you’re right 99/100 times on this subject, this is the time you’re not. That’s all.
A state can't kill its vulnerable twice, and it's going to have GREAT buy-in for otherwise burdensome public policy **after** its banner city's streets have been lined with makeshift morgues. Whatever brownie points you think it ought to get, I call horseshit.

The governance of both the city and the state is fucking rotten, and doing victory laps to boot. NYers should be calling for heads. They wouldn't even correct their horrendous nursing home policy until the NYT/national press made it an embarassment. It's fucking sick, man.

Are they looking pretty solid now? Yes. But no, sorry, not relative to California, which is considerably more vulnerable because it didn't already expose everyone in its major metros. I'm not going to pin a ribbon on any of these motherfuckers who killed their constituents.

Cowen's "politics ~=who should gain/lose status" seems relevant I agree the media is trying to raise the status of northeast pandemic response, and that the correct response is "lol seriously" (Just also, it's useful to know where outbreaks are growing, mask compliance,etc)

So construct those maps; the data aggregation/description here is incredibly misleading. It's pretty clear that states that weren't hit hard with their pants down early are unable to get good marks from Vox.
