I guess Covid is just hitting Dems and Independents? I guess those Repugs that don't wear masks, protest and carry guns and shun 'social distancing' are immune to Covid-19? What's the story? What's their secret? Should I be more like them?

suffered through it, was given Hydroxy after 2 weeks, said he thought he was dying, then 5 days later he was better. He credits a malaria drug for his recovery. He thanks drumpf every day for "saving him". He thanks the hospital staff every day. Probably still won't wear a mask. He is the 8th person I know to get it. 2 have died. That's 25%.

Divided by COVID-19: Democratic U.S. areas hit three times as hard as Republican ones
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As Americas response to the coronavirus pandemic splits along partisan lines, a Reuters analysis may help explain why: Death rates in Democratic areas are triple those in Republican ones.
By Wednesday, U.S. counties that voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election reported 39 coronavirus deaths per 100,000 residents, according to an analysis of demographic and public health data. In counties that voted for Republican Donald Trump, 13 of every 100,000 people had died from the virus.
The uneven impact reflects the disproportionate toll the infectious disease has taken in densely packed Democratic-voting cities like New York. Rural areas and far-flung suburbs that typically back Republicans have not seen as direct an impact.
The pattern holds beyond New York, the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak. Democratic counties in 36 of the 50 U.S. states collectively reported higher death rates than Republican counties.
In Maryland, where the disease has killed more than 2,000 people, the death rate in the Democratic suburbs of Washington is four times higher than in the conservative counties in the Appalachian panhandle.
In Kansas, which has reported 152 fatalities, the death rate is seven times higher in the two counties that backed Clinton than in the rest of the state.
There are exceptions. Republican counties report a higher death rate in Delaware, Nebraska and South Dakota, where the disease has raced through meatpacking plants. Republican counties have been harder hit in Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota and Texas, where rates are well below the national average.

(32,626 posts)the GOP must resort to lying, cheating, and stealing to win elections in states that they run, and then it's surprising when not as many are dying. Maybe not as many dying, because there aren't as many? Also, it kills me to read articles based on data that we know is not accurate. Especially in those same GOP controlled states.
