I was also curious, since this whole thing had been politicized, to see the breakdown between the Red and Blue States.

Blue States - Population: 141,790,246 - Cases: 13,264,337 - Infected: 1 in 11
Deaths: 252,909 - Death Rate: 1 in 561 - Mortality Rate: 1.91% (+0.01%)

Deaths: 332,573 - Death Rate: 1 in 578 - Mortality Rate: 1.70% (+0.01%)

As you can see, this continues to show exactly what one would expect due to the politicalization of the Covid response. Red States, despite generally having a wider spread of population have a higher incidence of infection while the blue states, having higher population concentrations, still show greater death and mortality rates. Had this not been politicized, one would expect the incidence of infection in the Red states to be lower than that of the blue.
