San Francisco Bay Area’s COVID death rate was among the lowest in the nation. Here’s why

LA Times  

The San Francisco Bay Area fared better during the COVID-19 pandemic than many other largely populated areas, with a cumulative COVID-19 death rate among the lowest of the nation’s most populous counties, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis. That’s 37% of Los Angeles County’s death rate of 354 deaths per 100,000 residents and one-quarter of New York City’s cumulative rate of 540 deaths for every 100,000 residents. A Times analysis, calculated from data released by local health officials and adjusted for age, shows San Francisco had one-third the death rate of L.A. County and roughly one-fourth that of New York City’s. And for the first updated booster shot, made available in September 2022, 63% of the Bay Area’s seniors got one, compared with 46% of seniors in L.A. County and 32% in New York City.
