1/ SHUTDOWNS FAILED to lower #COVID19 deaths.

This thread shows daily CDC data, updated today,
with evidence that there were no more deaths in free states
than in neighboring shutdown states.

Raw data is from:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/
2/ The states that never shut down are:
Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming,
herein AR, IA, NE, ND, SD and WY.
Data for WY is not updated at the CDC, so we will exclude WY.
3/ Free states share long borders with the following shutdown states respectively:
Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, Montana,
herein MS, LA, OK, MO, MN, WI, IL, KS, CO, MT.
4/ So I compare data from
AR with MS, LA, OK & MO,
IA with MN, WI, MO & IL,
NE with KS & CO, and
ND & SD with MT & MN.

And then, because they have exactly the same population density,
I compare Arkansas with Oklahoma.
5/ Free states beat neighboring shutdown states by 3.7%
in #COVID19 survival, as seen in the table below.

This thread proves that #shutdowns correlated with
HIGHER death rate in shutdown states
than in neighboring free states.
