If you take the blue states out, we're at a level that I don't think anybody in the world would be at.

"Over time, though, the percentage of total deaths that have occurred in blue states has dropped," Bump continued.

If that were the country's total, we would have seen the second-most number of deaths globally, trailing only Brazil. »
