OF COURSE I’ve seen those figures for US states. Only five of fifty are in excess of a thousand deaths per million, and for four of those it’s significantly attributable to the bone headed move of state mandated movement of contagious COVID patients to nursing homes full of very vulnerable people.
and if you want to perform the same fractionation process in Europe, picking out the 10% highest fatality rate provinces, or stadts, you’ll find much the same result.
Now if you have some better system than comparing population MEANS to determine rates of infection, do tell. Mathematicians and statisticians haven’t been able to come up with much of anything better for centuries but I’m sure they would appreciate you telling them where they’ve gone wrong.

a couple of comments:
1. You lack the authority (not to mention the credibility) to give me orders.
2. I post the FACTS. If the FACTS make it seem to you that “we have done good”, then maybe you ought to reconsider your own opinion that we haven’t “done good”.
