Ok good so you agree democrat states were doing much worse then?
While some states have higher population density, they also have larger centers for disease prevention and more doctors to attend patients.
Sure they have larger population density, but they also have more hospitals per person, more resources and more doctors, and they received help from the federal government. There is no reason why the death count should be higher.
What you are trying to do is defend a bunch of inept blue politicians that did a horrible job, like sending infected patients into nursing homes, or not closing down subways, for the sake of your political position, thats why I LOL
Dirius, I don't think you catch the complexity of the situation, in your dubious efforts to politicize a public health crisis. Your LOL emoticons are just bizarre in light of a very un-funny pandemic-- and your misguided assumptions.
Unchecked contagious diseases like CV-19 spread more rapidly in densely populated areas with more people coming into closer contact with one another. In NYC/NJ, think about commuters on the subway during rush hour, people living in large apartment buildings, more people out on the sidewalks, &c.
[Because subways transport essential workers, they cannot easily be shut down altogether.]
This situation will pertain in any country. Think of the early outbreaks in Italy, with multi-generational families sharing living quarters, or the current major outbreak in poor neighborhoods in Brazil. It's not dependent upon the US Democratic Party.
Urban centers do tend to have more health care providers and facilities than rural areas, but then people go to the hospital
after they get sick, not before. They're just lucky to have them handy. A large well-equipped urban hospital might have better recovery rates than a local rural hospital, but there's not a one-to-one correspondence here. A lot depends upon whether the patients are high-risk, for example.
Large cities tend to have a higher concentration of low-income people. In the US this can mean poorer health outcomes when they do get sick. Which has been the case in the US.
Data on CV-19 cases and deaths tend to be cumulative and not indicative of the most recent trends, but you can see that Florida, with a Republican governor, has moved up to the highest category of cases/100K people, which is out of proportion to its population ranking.

Your logical fallacy seems to be that if more people voted Republican, their rates of coronavirus infection would decline. Which is not happening.
I haven't seen anything on this, but my guess is that part of the reason why the death rate is so high in red-state Arizona and Florida is that these are retirement destinations, with elderly people being in a higher-risk category.
I suggest you focus on the reasons why right-wingers like yourself have not convinced most of America's urban poor that the Republican party is the best option for them.
