Think they're saying they normalized to remove influence of obesity and diabetes on the numbers, so I'm assuming those factors sway quite a bit by geographic location, so I assume, maybe wrongly, this ranking has more information to provide context than is shown in the table. I can surmise Hawaii is lowest and NY is highest, obviously, but what the factors in the table mean I am unsure.
Example, Hawaii at 109.2 COVID deaths (per 1K, 10K, 100K...??) and NY at 360.7 suggests NY COVID deaths are 3x (300%+) higher than Hawaii and a smaller factor larger than all other states.
So I can determine where deaths were highest, but to what point? I don't see a correlation that could be tied to geography, political leaning, etc. so how useful is having that data set? Or did I miss something in the sequence that someone else caught that is important to COVID Vax/Anti-COVID Vax?
It's just more numbers fucking. Any time you see the word "adjusted" in relation to set of numbers coming from the Federal Govt [them], it's rigged for maximum positive effect.
Age Adjusted means it follows an age distribution like this:

So, they adjust the average death per state adjusted by age.
The only reason you'd do it this way is to obscure the likely demographic for death.
In other words, they are likely adjusting by age solely to hide data which indicates under-60s have almost no threat of death.
There is no covid. Everything after that is nonsense. IT’S THE FLU!

It's a shame when hospitals are no longer safe havens for the sick
My sense of it is it is completely without CONTEXT.
