If you cut the numbers of the top 5 Democrat states in half, to bring it in line closer as to what should have been the number, it gets much better.

200,000, instead of 230,000. You get about 17th place on the deaths/million.

Dem states were cold states that got hit first. Expect higher amounts going into winter. That is the nature of such a virus. We have learned much, too bad those states got hit at a time of low uv percentage and in lower temps, and without a clear knowledge of treatment. Throw in typical gov mismanagement if ya want.
