CDC Testing For COVID-19 Shows Major Parties Have Little Bearing on Levels.

Ever sense Covid-19 regulations were deemed as a detriment to capitalism and consequently loosened to maintain (and increase) profits, tracking infections has pretty much become an afterthought. CNN, however, has a story about how the Center of Disease Control and Prevention has adapted to keep an eye on things. 

Considering not just the economics, but also how political Covid-19 became in the United States, one would think that high or low viral activity levels would be a reflection on the words and actions of the the two major parties. After all, if it wasn't about Trump or Biden going back and forth over vaccines, it was governors comparing "lockdowns" vs "business as usual."

So imagine my surprise to learn where the states that pushed for the most controversial remedies landed:

Also it is worth noting that no governor or presidential candidate advocated for "universal health care" or "Medicare for All" as a solution to this health crisis pandemic.

In other words: some 4 years later, it's not easy to prove that invoking lockdowns or doing the opposite hurt or helped.
