Why is California's COVID-19 death rate so high? (accuse, statistics, military)

That's almost twice the rate of Texas.

72% more likely to die is pretty significant.

Probably has to do with tourism. California ranks higher on number of international visitors than Texas, but that is not all, California also has a lot of different type of international visitors than Texas. Same issue with NYC and Miami. Seattle also which was the first hot spot in the US.

Ah yes, here is the point of the thread, I should have known you were not actually asking to expand your knowledge, you just want to peddle your snowflake agenda.

Huh, lessee:

AeroMexico
Air Canada
Air France
Avianca
British Airways
Emirates
Interjet
Japan Airlines
Korean Air
Lufthansa
QANTAS
Qatar Airways
Volaris

Those are the non-domestic carriers that fly into just DFW alone.

Which doesn't count AA's direct flights to Shanghai Pudong Airport, as well as to Beijing Capital International, that were halted.

(Then there are all the other int'l routes flown by the domestics from DFW.)

I also guarantee all those fleeing Louisiana ain’t quarantining. We need a wall between Texas and Louisiana.

Yep. We need some razor wire and machine gun mounts.

Yet Texas's COVID-19 mortality rate is almost half that, at 8.8 per million:

So why is California suffering so many more SARS-CoV-2 casualties per capita?

Shouldn't we be talking about fatality rate among those who are actually sick?

So if I told you that there is a .1 per million and a 1 per million you would still think the latter is high because it is 10x more than the former.

Neither Texas or California is high despite the latter being twice as much.

No, because our helpful contributor raised the issue of per capital mortality rate, and by specific state.

Some of those states have comparable population sizes, but vastly different governance and well-publicized approaches to COVID-19.
