    Heard and add on the radio today that South Dakota has made advertising that they have no restrictions and talking about freedom

    The Dakotas currently have the highest daily average number of cases on a per-population basis, with North Dakota at 1,802 cases per million population and South Dakota at 1,606 cases per million.

    The next closest is Iowa at 1,329 - there are only 8 states with more than 1,000 cases per million population. The US overall is at 479 cases per million population per day - so the Dakotas daily new cases are 4x higher than the US average.

    When considering average daily deaths per million population, the Dakota's also take the win.

    North Dakota has a daily average of 18.9 deaths per million population while South Dakota is at 16.8 deaths per million population per day.

    Next closest is Montana at 10.8 deaths per million population per day and is the only other state above 10 per million per day. The US overall is at 3.5 deaths per million population per day - so the Dakotas daily death rate is 5x higher than the US average.

    If their adverts state that you have the freedom to die at a higher rate than anywhere else in the US - then that would be quite accurate :(

    US is nearing 200,000 new infections per day and 2,000+ per day.

    When will the US President take COVID seriously?

    On 20th January 2021?

    Not his problem anymore, just busy playing golf and setting so many booby traps in place by removing established heads and putting in his own crew even going to the extent of calling in approved funds for Key Programs which haven't been expended leaving massive issues for the incoming next year.

    For a mentality like that sorry my sympathies running a little thin . As if you'd need less than half a brain even in the US to even listen to Trump on this, self inflicted. Love my freedom 5x the average Aussie seems so willing to put up with but eh , there are times to use the old noggin too.
    And 3 or 4 wks since their election , whata surprise.
    l only watch US numbers in a form of just sheer gobsmackism. Yaknow , if they really giva ship they'd be demoing and burning businesses and buildings about their handling of Covid and their fellow Americans lives lost.
    lt's all just phony me me tantrum.

    Putting this into perspective - the leading causes of death in the US.

    upload_2020-11-20_18-31-0.png
    This is comparing deaths so far in the year for Covid-19 against data for a complete year (2018) for other causes - and of course numbers for Covid-19 are rising rapidly.

    Unfortunately, many Americans would look at that graph and wonder what the big deal is given it still trails cancer and heart disease.

    The 2017-18 flu season was particularly deadly in the US with 61,000 estimated deaths. Other years seem to average around the 40,000 deaths per year mark (source: Burden of Influenza)

    With 61,000 deaths from an estimated 45,000,000 illnesses, that would put the case-fatality rate at around 0.13% ... if we take the more conservative figure of medical visits - around 21,000,000 for 2017-18, that would put the case-fatality rate at around 0.29% - which is a bit lower than Australia experienced in 2017, but in-line with our other bad flu years.

    So far the US has seen 252.5K COVID deaths from 11.7M cases, which puts their case-fatality rate at 2.16% ... nearly 10 times worse than their worst flu season in recent years.

    Yeah, this thing is pretty bad.

    The scariest part is that the US has a population 13x Australia ... if we extrapolated their infection rate, that would equate to over 13 000 new cases a day in Australia (and yet we freak out at 4) ... and over 160 deaths daily

    Rather happy to live on this rather distant wee rock

    Another way of looking at data in the US.

    Overall, the US has had around 22% of the number of cases in the world (13M out of 60.7M).

    In the last two days, the US has had around 30% of the number of the world's new cases (181K out of 607K = 29.8% yesterday, 177K out of 549K = 32.2% the previous day from worldometers.info).

    & in Europe.. second wave subsiding, deaths still high though, lagging. Restrictions being relaxed, getting back to "normal" here, bars, restaurants, shops, gyms, unis opened again this week. Infections down to around 1000/day in Barcelona, was over 3000 a month ago. Schools never closed though, a priority in Europe now is to keep them open.
