It does explain this:

“In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000).”

The brief version: The gap in Covid’s death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point.

There is definitely a lot of death cult attitude with the FNC/Newsmax/OANN crowd. They don't care that much about their own lives and safety and they care even less about other folks' lives and safety.

They are doing such a fine job that people are still saying that this is just like the flu. I just read that reply on my cruise boards, wondering why people still make a big deal about this. I just could not ask the obvious question- when was the year that 600,000 people died of the flu, and was that the same year that hospitals were overwhelmed for over a year all over the world?
 
So WRT the vaccine mandate for companies- I see that a judge has put that on hold. BUT- are any of your companies rolling back their requirement??? Mine hasn't.

Reminds me of the Deathsantis trying to remove requirements for his state, and getting massive push back from large companies in his own state. I know the cruise lines sued the state over the requirement ban- which matters a lot for them, since (like flights) they go to places that have vaccine requirements that are very much outside of the US CDC control.

I would guess that for the time being, the large employers who are subject to the mandate aren't going to roll back their plans to make employees comply, probably for a couple of reasons.

First, it probably makes good business sense from the standpoint of trying to get their employees all vaccinated. Second, at any point in time there could be another court ruling that the mandate is back in place, and it's not like companies can just snap their fingers and get these things implemented.

If I were a large employer, I'd just continue with the roll out. If it turns out that the mandate is ultimately ruled illegal, no harm. The companies will then know that they don't face any fines or penalties for any errors or lack of enforcement that they might make.

I know a few companies that have simply put planning on hold. Any that have already announced plans aren't likely to renounce them, but I'm sure some will.

Ours pushed the date back for both OSHA and contractor to 1/4. But they also took a very "We're pushing the date back and we'll reassess between now and then" with the heavy implication they would rescind it if the OSHA mandate fails in the courts. They are terrified of walkouts it seems.
