A new study confirms that liberal blue states like New York and New Jersey had by far the worst pandemic record in terms of keeping people healthy and minimizing economic damage. With Today’s ALG Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. The consulting firm Hamilton Place Strategies tells us just who did best on both measures. As a nation, 13 jobs were lost for every person who died from COVID-19 in the past year.
The study finds that New York had the worst overall outcome, with both high excess deaths and high job losses. Those with the best result were Idaho, Utah, and West Virginia.
New York instituted severe lockdowns AND suffered catastrophic loss of life. Its unemployment was the nation’s second highest – behind Hawaii. New York Governor Mario Cuomo’s lockdown destroyed much of his local economy while his decision to send COVID-19 patients into nursing homes increased the number of deaths in them. How the media celebrated this Master of Disaster for as long as they did shows just how flawed their coverage of the pandemic has been.
