12 months from now the column in the above table for Deaths per One Million population Should be examined. The 25 States that are higher than average should reform by studying the States or foreign countries that did better.
In the case of COVID-19 perhaps a new column Deaths of +60 year olds per million should be used.
About two years ago I was a little shocked to learn that KY had the highest yearly death rate for 80 year olds and HI the lowest. Notice that KY has the 2nd highest “Confirmed case fatality percentage” for COVID at 5.44% even though the total deaths is only 79.
