#3Here's a chart of cases over time in Del Norte county, based on the NY Times county data: https://covid-19.datasettes.com/covid/ny_times_us_counties?c...
(Using a Datasette instance I've been running against Covid data since last year)

#4Basically the anti science conservative portions of the state.

#5Sutter Hospital in Crescent City in Del Norte County is a bit of an outlier because it services Pelican Bay max security prison. A lot of families come from all over the state to visit their incarcerated family members. I don't know exactly what difference this makes, but I'm sure it makes some.

#6Stories like this happen going on since the beginning of the pandemic. I’m shocked at the number of people who casually skip over the body bags and refrigerated trailers to declare COVID to be vastly overblown.

#7Just another example of how Delta is tearing its way through the under-vaccinated parts of the country. But it's important to remember it isn't just "red states" that are susceptible, but really any conservative region, even in deep blue states.
Meanwhile in NY, where nearly all restrictions have been lifted for months, the Delta wave has barely registered and the rate of new cases has flattened if not started to decline in recent weeks.

#8Del Norte has a population of 30,000. I cannot imagine their mortuaries have much overflow capacity. 2800 cases is 10% of population, which is about the same as the national average. Its actually less. the us has 39 million cases, about 11.5% of pop infected.

This wave began in the south (and on the west coast), but it has been creeping up the map in recent weeks. You can see it spreading into southwestern PA now. The wave simply hasn't gotten to NY yet. It is coming.

That sounds like you made it up off the top of your head. Care to show your work? In reality, Delta has been in NY for months...
