WY "health official" claims covid vaccine is a biological weapon developed by the Russians (I thought they were our friends) and China to spread communism.

WY is #8 total cases per 1million population.

This is why it is becoming a red state bug.

The irony of the above statement is that it was made by a man named "Igor Shepherd". The name Igor comes from Russia orginally.

IL is trying hard to win Death Race 2020 but they're weighed down by Chicagoland which isn't trying hard enough to deny the virus' severity. the Dakotas don't have any major cities holding them back.

I'm not sure why anyone wants to compete over which states have the most deaths, especially since the majority of NYC's deaths happened in the spring when healthcare workers knew less about how to care for covid. More people are surviving the ICU because of the hard working health care workers who developed best practices

New York Young Republicans Hold Big Swinging Bug-Chasing Party For Freedom
https://www.wonkette.com/this-picture-of-the-new-york-young-republicans

Ted Bundy, a member of his college Young Republicans club, killed at least 36 women. Last night, one day after the coronavirus killed 3100 Americans in a single day, the New York Young Republicans Club made an attempt to beat that record by holding an in-person gala/superspreader event in the middle of a freaking pandemic. To give you an idea of how obviously stupid this is, Sarah Palin is the smartest person in this entire situation and it's not even Moose Jeopardy. Palin was set to be a keynote speaker at the gala, but canceled because of how there is a freaking pandemic.

She was replaced by Matt Gaetz, whom I am not entirely convinced is not a Funko Pop! doll who was granted a wish to become a real boy.

The event took place not in New York but rather in New Jersey, at the Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park in Jersey City. In New Jersey, while in-person events with more than 10 people are banned, exceptions are made for "religious and political activities protected under the First Amendment," allowing for 150 people or 25 percent occupancy of a space.

Everything's legal in Jersey

Covid is currently the leading cause of death in the United States.

Texas and Florida are both way ahead of Illinois.
https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_totaldeaths

so is SD and ND -- #8 and #9, ahead of IL

Numbers are deaths per million.

NJ: 1,958 (averaging 4.7 per day over the last week)
NY: 1,793 (3.2 per day)
MA: 1,583 (5.6 per day)
CT: 1,443 (7.4 per day)
LA: 1,409 (5.3 per day)
RI: 1,334 (8.8 per day)
MS: 1,316 (5.6 per day)
ND: 1,298 (15.0 per day)
SD: 1,203 (29.7 per day - I think they had a death dump sometime this week tho)
IL: 1,088 (11.6 per day)

MI is in 11th, with 1,013 deaths per million, but at only 12.5 per day, won't catch up with the leaders anytime soon.

By the end of January, ND will take its place atop the death charts.

Other states worth following: IN - 10 per day, MN 10.4 per day, NE - 13.4 per day, NM - 13.9, WY - 10.4

IN is in 15th, MN is in 29th, NE is in 33rd, NM is in 22nd, and WY is in 43rd. But they'll have to die harder in order to move up on the leaderboard.

Truly remarkable, this experiment in herd immunity the Dakotas are running. They may well start brushing up against it by the time the vaccine reaches the masses. Given SD's positivity rate which has been running over 30% (!) percent for weeks now, hasn't been over 10% since August, and went over 60% (!!!) earlier last month, I suspect SD is the real champion at the freedom to catch COVID.

Illinois has 1088 deaths per capita, TX 784. Don’t get me wrong, Illinois is still a long ways a way from from reaching NY,NJ or MA records, but it’s working at rapid speed to smash them. If only someone had asked them to wear masks, sigh.

Just wait til about 3 weeks after Christmas / New Years. Everyone who didn't catch it unmasked at a Christmas Eve service, will catch it unmasked at a bar.

I'm thinking MN, which is skewing the death numbers. I bet SD death rate is much higher than what's reported.

MN needs to put a restriction on travel, even for health care. Sorry, you don't get to come in if you're healthy, because we are limiting travel like so many states, and you certainly don't get to come in if you're sick. Sorry not sorry.

cases and deaths in ND and SD have been climbing rapidly.

Total deaths per 1mil population - #8 and #9
Total cases per 1mil population - #1 and #2

Cases preceed deaths, and there are not enough hospitals or healthcare professionals in those states.

Wow. Take out Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison, and this is 100% red.

Wow. Factor in poor early testing, overwhelmed testing and asymptomatic cases and the Dakotas are going to hit herd immunity without a vaccine.

Yep. This thread didn't age well.

Only if you are delusional. What twisted logic.

“If we talk about herd immunity at the current mortality rate that we see from infections, we’re talking at least 1.2 million deaths.”
