It could be that Europe and North America are getting higher death rates simply because we have (had) more old people.

Or it could be something else. There is no depth to which Red China will not sink.

Why are a few states missing from the second table? (Texas, for example)

Rather, the virus spread at its maximum speed directly proportional to the amount of unrestricted people-people traffic from Wigan province. The Chinese established a huge worker population in Milan, north Italy. Mass exchange of people into The Northeast and northwest U.S. , and that exaggerated by the refusal of denocrat governors to allow Trump to restrict travel quick enough. Then, once ib the population and on hands, feet, clothes, subways, and everywhere else, these same governors forced infected patients back into their death cells in nursing homes.

“Why? JFK, Newark, and Logan?”

I think it is population density in an area more than how an infected person arrives in an area. Infectious respiratory viruses can obviously spread more easily in an area with more people packed in per square mile. All the top U.S. locations are also at the top of the range of population density.

Just a for instance, the Los Angeles metro area - also a major airline national and international transit hub - has a total population similar to NYC, but (a) a much lower population density per square mile and (b) a lower virus case and death rate. And, it is the other factor - climate - warmer and drier.

Ah, thank you. If they're missing from the posted table it means those states didn't have any fatalities by Day 52. If you go to my About Page you'll see that Texas didn't hit the 1,000 size-adjusted cumulative fatality level until April 3, which makes Day 51 its latest day (i.e. May 21). As of Day 51, Texas had 17,636 size-adjusted fatalies, which is the 7th lowest across all States sandwiched between Idaho and Maine.
