Off To The Races -- Chinese Flu Update -- North Dakota Back In The Top Five -- December 10, 2020

Link here

Top five, weekly new cases per 100,000 people, rolling 7-day average:

  • Rhode Island, back to number 1, at 877
  • ND, surges all the way back to number 2 -- could it take the #1 spot tomorrow; currently at 789;
  • then Indiana, #3; Ohio, #4; and, surprisingly, Alaska enters the list at #5 (not sure which day AK entered the list; noted it for first time today, although it may have been here earlier;

At the link, the "brown" map is much less brown and clearly moving to the southwest, four corners area of the US appears to be the darkest. Texas, Florida, New England, and the Pacific Northwest all pretty light in color.

The US county with perhaps the greatest number of cases per capita and the greatest number of Covid-19 related deaths per capita: Southwest Utah county:

  • one in three people have been diagnosed with Covid-19;
  • one in 383 people have died due to Covid-19 related causes;

Compare with NYC area:

  • one in 24 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19;
  • one in 400 people have died due to Covid-19 related causes;

Penetration rate (herd immunity); link here:

  • North Dakota continues to lead the pack, #1; at 11.3% with history of Covid-19;
  • South Dakota, #2, but lags significantly at 9.9%
  • after that, penetration rates across the US drop off significantly;
  • Iowa, #3, at 8%
  • Nebraska, #4, at 7.4%
  • Wisconsin, #5, at 7.2%
  • USA: at 4.8%
  • imagine the headlines when the following states hit 10% penetration:
    • Florida: 5%
    • Texas: 4.8%
    • New York: 4%
    • California: 3.6%
