Lots of things could explain it. Here are some:

- The way deaths are counted in each state

- Daily Temperature

- Comorbidity percentage difference for residents - https://covid19tracker.health.ny.gov/views/NYS-COVID19-Track...

> - Daily Temperature

it's been unseasonably cool in socal for the duration of this so i doubt it's that.

Also population density. In NYC, a higher % of the population is touching shared surfaces such as doors and elevator buttons just to get outside.

That wouldn't affect IFR

We don't have an IFR, we have a CFR, which would be affected. Remember, all we know thus far is the numerator and a low-confidence denominator.
