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.
