NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES The outcomes in NJ, NY, and CA were among the worst in all three categories: mortality, economy, and schooling. UT, NE, and VT were leaders in all three categories.
I will consider adding state scores into my "Righting the Wrongs" index - rightingthewrongs.org Just need to think of whether it fits in or not. Thank you for sharing this paper.
I have skimmed though the paper and will not be incorporating it. The factors have more to do with state imposed regulations, quality of health care, local economy/industries, people's lifestyles and choices, demographics, and how they decided to count covid deaths, and not related to how Congress members voted in past legislation and the outcome of those votes. Population density and how much of a travel hub an area is are probably the greatest factors with those areas that were hit first having the disadvantage of knowing the best way to react.
Mortality has been elevated in every state since the start of this lockdown, closure, mask, vaccine nightmare. Yes obviously the states that did it longest and hardest did worse, but if mortality is a benchmark all failed. I'm more worried if these kids will be around in 10 years with the way things are going...
The safe exposure for Chlorine Dioxide is far below the 3ppm you mention Brian. ClO2 is an aggressive oxidant, used in industry for bleaching, e.g. for bleaching wood pulp. The TWL (time weighted limit) in my jurisdiction (British Columbia) is 0.1 ppm and the STEL is 0.3 ppm. I have serious reservations about using ClO2 to neutralize (actually, oxidatively destroy) airborne viruses unless the airspace (room, hall) is subsequently purged with filtered air, let alone for inhaling directly. For the latter, I think there may be merit in nebulizing dilute Hydrogen Peroxide.
This falls into the “highly predictable when these decisions were made” category
It will take decades to repair the collateral damage, if that is ever even possible. More than one generation has been irreparably damaged.

By your reasoning, Atlanta should have been decimated, early and often. Instead, a very small town bore Georgia's brunt until much later.
Very complicated indeed. Very much "the chicken or the egg?"
What would you expect, all of them are run by Demoncrats.
MD is run by a RINO.
Thank-you for the info. Not really surprised.
People with legitimate medical issues other than covid were neglected and some died as result.
