We now have a full year of COVID data from the four largest states in the country: California, Texas, Florida and New York.
We can look at the factual COVID data and begin to answer a big question: did COVID lockdowns make any sense at all? And also, how do we assess the overall performance of governors in this country?
There is now a year’s worth of data to make that decision predicated on data as opposed to opinion.
For much of the past year, the media told you that New York governor Andrew Cuomo was the political hero of the COVID outbreak and that Florida governor Ron DeSantis was the political villain.
This narrative began back in March of last year and has proven to be incredibly durable, carrying all the way into 2021.
Except the data tells us the exact opposite is true: no big state governor in the country has done a better job than Florida’s Ron DeSantis and no big state governor has done a worse job than New York’s Andrew Cuomo.
This is is not an opinion. This is what objective and factual data tells us.
Here’s the death data in the four largest states in the country over the past year. Deaths per million of population:
- New York 2,459
- Texas 1,520
- Florida 1,437
- California 1,321
So
New York has been substantially worse than the other three largest states in the country.
But New York hasn’t just done a bad job relative to other states in the country. Here’s how the state of New York’s COVID death rate per capita would rank in the entire world:
- New York 2,459
- Czechia 1,909
- Belgium 1,899
- Slovenia 1,899
- England 1,805
- Italy 1,622
- Portugal 1,607
- United States 1,582
Let me repeat this:
New York, if it were a country, would have the worst COVID death rate in the entire world. The objective data is clear. Far from being a COVID hero, Governor Andrew
Cuomo is probably the worst performing elected official in the entire world when it comes to dealing with COVID.
But that’s not all, not only has New York been the worst performing location for COVID in the entire world, they’ve also managed to destroy their economy in the process by adopting draconian lockdowns which have been almost totally ineffective at saving lives.
Look at the most recent unemployment rates in each of the four biggest states in the country:
- Florida 6.1%
- Texas 7.2%
- New York 8.2%
- California 9.0%
So
not only has New York posted the worst death rate from COVID in the world, they have also tanked their economy in the process, posting the fourth highest unemployment rate in the United States. (They are 46th overall. California is even worse as the 49th worst unemployment rate in the nation.)
The data from the four largest states make it clear: lockdowns haven’t worked in this country.
At all.
They haven’t limited deaths, and they’ve tanked the economy.
This isn’t an opinion. This is what the factual data tells us.

The LEFT is going to force Cuomo out...

Wicked bastards that they are. HEY!! LOOK OVER THERE EVERYBODY!
Yet it was the D's who made it so that a biological male can now compete against a female in a contact sport. Its all shits and giggles until some woman ends up with a broken neck and dead.
