Dana Milbank at the Washington Post, where they're good with statistics, provided this.
They say that the dozen states with the highest death rates were all ones with Republican governors.

Until now, we’ve known that covid-19 death rates were higher among the unvaccinated, and also higher in counties that went for Donald Trump, whose supporters were more likely to resist vaccinations, masks and other pandemic precautions.
Now that the omicron wave is over, a couple of new analyses of state-by-state data both point to an inescapable conclusion: Living in states run by a Republican governor is dangerous to your health. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...tes-disparity/
The article says it's opinion. I can't read it, because I won't pay money to read a partisan rag, but the stats I am looking at say that the state with the most deaths was California (D), followed by Texas (R), Florida (R), New York (D), Pennsylvania (D), Ohio (R), Illinois (D), Georgia (R), Michigan (D), and New Jersey (D), Arizona (R) and Tennessee (R). So half of the top dozen were lead by Dems. Hardly "all" with Republican governors.
When you look at deaths per million population, Mississippi (R) is the top spot, followed by Arizona (R), Alabama (R), Tennessee (R), West Virginia (R), New Jersey (D), Arkansas (R), Louisiana (D), Michigan (D), Oklahoma (R), New York (D) and Georgia (R). Eight out of twelve were led by Republican governors, so again, hardly "all". And Florida is nowhere on this list, which is a more accurate way to count covid deaths.
Where does Maine land in your carefully constructed list.
Maine is one of the best. Top 5. California is tied with Florida and many deep blue states are the worst (NY, Massachusetts) as well as some deep red (Mississippi).
The thing you guys don’t understand is that deaths rose in most categories. Around 6% in all categories.
However, death from diabetes rose 17% in all age groups due to the price of insulin. In the age group 25-44 it rose 30%. This affected just about all states but ones with insulin price controls like Maine.
So Florida has a high rate of seniors but Maine is right behind them. Death rate Florida ranks 17th Maine ranks 46th. So what did Maine do better?
What did Maine do better.... significantly better?
Maine has very low density population. Not much opportunity to gather in large groups there. The stores are never crowded. Makes a difference for a contagious disease.

yes, like all good leftist media, they're good at finding statistics to support their position.
Imagine with a deadly virus, instead proclaiming a Governor was somehow responsible.
And singling out the one Governor that they fear the most politically.
and some slurp it up like a cat and a warm bowl of milk.

According to this website she would be wrong. As Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and Louisiana have Democrats for governors and are in the top 12. Also there are more Republican governors so you would expect more in the top 12.
in the 1920s conservatives were against Darwin in the scopes monkey trial, now they embrace social Darwinism
their whole reason for being is to get government out, never expect a republican to do anything for anybody
Yeah, Republicans never do anything for anybody. Poor Abe Lincoln, signing the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves. Can’t get his just credit from Elvis.
