Keep repeating yourself as many times as you like. This was about your statement California was one of the worst rates of infection nothing more. Clearly this is not true and according to worldometers they rank 33rd.
One of these days you'll actually admit to being wrong.
Why do you keep ignoring my point?
The "rank" of 33rd is meaningless, because it counts OVERALL positive tests, and there were few tests to be had in the initial months.
A small population with a disproportionate number since November (like ND) will have a WAY higher positive-per-million than a state like CA which was low-middling for awhile, and then also spiked up late. The more COVID a state had early, the better its positive test numbers will look.
DUCY?
These are not fair comparisons, due to testing availability differences.
The fairest way to rank it is by death per million, because it's much more difficult to miss positive COVID cases.
