I wonder if Cuomo is going to refund all the people who bought his book "American Crisis: Leadership lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic"?? By all accounts, his leadership wasn't too good.

Looks to me like FL did worse than CA in terms of total deaths [1].

I think a better case could be made about Utah, yet I suspect their good CFR is due to differences in reporting COVID deaths.

From here, it shows that CA is double FL on per capita deaths. (you have to set the states in the widget)

Also, the average age in FL is 42 vs CA at 36.

Here's another one that's completely different.

Here's another site to look at death rates of all the states:

...interesting to compare the various U.S. states to different countries:

...seems like the mortality rate should be one of the more consistent measures between jurisdictions.
