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?
