Interesting article that shows that the consequences of not vaccinating and masking were even deadlier in 2021 than the official covid death rate shows, which was bad enough. https://acasignups.net/22/05/09/exclusive-non-covid-excess-death-rates-ran-21x-higher-reddest-counties-bluest-2021

Excellent.
Precisely why we won’t really know how bad all of this is until the historians get their work out there. It will take them years. The impact of this disease are far more dramatic that any war the USA has ever participated in.
While thinking about it, the excess deaths in red counties were compounded by not only having low vaccination and masking rates, but also having older populations with less access to healthcare, being rural counties.
Great article. The 3 comments at the bottom sound like they came from SAV forumites.
My take: The reddest counties are heavily under-reporting Covid deaths, compared to the bluest counties, and the disparity became starker after Biden became President. The reddest counties (mainly in the rural SE) are trying to underplay the impact of Covid, by a huge multiple.
Great article. TY
