New Hampshire and C19

For those who wonder how NH, with an intelligently-run response system, can be doing so much worse than VT and ME in C19 deaths. Part of the answer is that many of NH's southern communities have a strong element of being suburbs of Boston, or of the two beltways around Boston.

Also, lots of us are jerks.

If you've driven it, or want to go look up the road system, you can see the main highways from MA to NH:  3, 93, and 95. It has been a large part of our prosperity these last forty years, but it does come at a cost.
