I believe they record deaths as your residence address, not where you actually pass away, so this is probably not in the NH totals.

Sad story, and what many locals have been fearing.

Were I living in the NYC metro I would head for the hills too!

This statement in the article annoyed me:

"Where these kinds of voters align is not in the right’s hatred of the marginalized but in its distrust of the news."

I do not personally have any "hatred for the marginalized" and feel that the author stipulates this as fact.

With no intention of starting a left right war here, I can say that the author discredits herself by villainizing a large, abstract group of people.

I believe that humans care for and wish the best for other humans.

How we go about helping people can be very different.

A difference in approach does not equal "hatred".
