“Since the pandemic began, states in the Northeast have consistently done the best job of containing the virus through a mix of policy measures and adherence to wearing masks (and possibly, in the case of a few hard-hit communities, partial herd immunity). Yet of the 10 states with unemployment north of 10% in August, half are in the Northeast — Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.”

Lolwut? The Northeast (with the exception of the low pop ones) has been ravaged. NY, Jersey, Connecticut all did horrible containment jobs. WTF is he talking about?
