(18,932 posts)500 people a week die in NYC.
How many Rural, overweight, Trumpists are in that batch... from Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and Manhattan?
And you need to read what I've written. I've never claimed that GOP'ers aren't the majority of people dying today.
I simply said (consistently) that it's not a silly number as has been quoted in the thread... like 75% of deaths.
Even your 57% number is certainly wrong. You don't take non-voters into account OR comprehend that the raw number of unvax'd DEMS in an Urban area are high.
Did you read my OP? All my replies have been consistent. It's other people refusing to talk about raw death numbers bringing death rates into the discussion
Between the fantasizing and wishing/hoping there seems to be a lot of people under the impression that Rural whites (apparently believed to be GOP'ers) are most of the recent victims.
Having not seen any actual... you know, evidence of that... I checked out the CDC.
They have these cool interactive graphs and data to access.
Total deaths and death rates are not the same thing.
700 people may die of C19 in the NYC area in a week... and that is a far lower death rate than the 15 that die in some upstate NY County but in gross numbers... NYC leads the State, by far.
But in the larger States I looked at... it seems like 75%+ of the fatalities (in the State) are in the big blue counties.
So... I guess some are theorizing that in big blue Counties, it's actually just the GOP'ers that are dying.
I'd need to see evidence of that because it sounds laughable, actually.
How about people stop rooting for the deaths of others?
There is NO political GAIN to be made from people dying.
