No, it's simply appropriate condemnation.
Not really. Not when local authorities, like in New York were responsible for disastrous polices like forcing long term care facilities to take in covid patients, and allowing subway systems to become virus spreading incubators that they waited until the end of April to finally clear out and clean. It’s just a coincidence that the next 3 most populace states, Texas, California and Florida did so much better. Hmmmm.
NY's deaths per million: 1,197
NYC's deaths per million: 1,489
The rest of the US combined deaths per million population: 117.7
Hmmmmmm.
