At the onset, literally every state did the same out of caution and fear of the unknown. Now the question becomes who quickly figured ot this was unnecessary. Tampon Tim let this go on for a year after the hoax was over. Guess the color of the States that were the harshest?

Not true. Among other things, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, N. Dakota, S. Dakota and Wyoming never had lockdowns.

Harshest just means the most cautious. The states listed above, that never had lockdowns, had the luxury of being ranked toward the bottom when it comes to population density. The states that were the most cautious were generally those with the highest population density. States with higher population density are also largely run by.... you guessed it... Democrats! So, yes, when you're talking about a virus that spreads via respiratory droplets/aerosol particles, the states were people are crammed together should be the most cautious.
