So this seems like scare mongering a bit.  People in the south are unhealthy, and unhealthy people are more likely to die of covid 19.

But yeah, southern states spend little on public health, have opted out of extending medicare to lower income people, and suffer from weak leadership.

So, I learned some things and my beliefs were reinforced as well.
