It's just city folk getting sick, not regular people, so not only will the red hats not care, this will just reinforce their belief that cities are bad places.

What's lost on them is that the cityfolk are filling hospitals... because the rural folks don't have hospitals to fill.  Enjoy dying at home, 'Muricans.

I had a rabbi in Austin talk about how much she loved Texas but that she'd kill us all for a decent salt bagel.

(She also explained the choice in words that God uses when speaking to the Israelites at Sinai as "He used the polite plural form, so not 'you' or even 'all of you' but something closer to 'all y'all'.")

Okay Texas,
Here's what to do:
1. Do what Dr. Fauci says if you want to live.
2. If you're not a Democrat and only trust Republicans, copy everything Governor Larry Hogan Jr. of Maryland did and take his advice.

And please wear a mask.

My dad grew up in Bellaire in the 50's and 60's. He's Christian but his school got off a lot of the High Holy Days and he ate a lot of gefilte fish growing up.

Can't say as I understand the assumptions, but I've seen figures around 125,000 additional deaths above normal + COVID-19 deaths.  Pneumonia deaths running 5-6 times normal in some states, complications of diabetes, etc.

As I understand it New York is mostly innocent liberals and they did their best and the minimum number of cadavers was accomplished

Houston is mostly conservatives who are guilty and they brought this rain of dry-coughing death upon themselves and then made it worse with a complete lack of mask and voting etiquette

My hometown has a pretty large number of cases, very small number of deaths. I suspect they are being transferred to the city, dying there and then getting lumped into those numbers.

good friend of mine is an ER doc over in St Petersburg, FL and That's exactly what's happening. As hospitals are filling up, they are diverting patients to whoever has room.
"We have so many cases we have an ED made for 30 people and it's holding 70. We don't have enough beds so we keep going on ambulance divert"
They've also taken in a lot of patients from the more rural areas as well as their hospitals (if they even have one beyond a glorified clinic) are getting filled up too. It's madness.

That's because you have never had a proper salt bagel with either cream cheese and lox or Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. With salt, pepper and ketchup, of course...
