Amid panic over rising coronavirus cases, deaths from COVID-19 in the United States recently reached a three-month low.
And further, few seem to have noticed that 42% of all COVID deaths in the U.S. come from just only three states, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts, noted Jon Miltimore in a column for the Foundation for Economic Education.
The three account for nearly 56,000 of the nearly 133,000 deaths in the country, even though they represent just 10% of the population. And excluding the three states would put the U.S. on the low end of the per capita fatality rate among European nations.
It's not certain why the three Northeastern states suffered more fatalities, but evidence suggests it could be policy related, Miltimore said.
