Latest on the Corona Virus

**bsm2** · 10-23-2020

The worst virus outbreaks in the U.S. are now in rural areas.

With the U.S. case count and hospitalization rates approaching a third peak, none of the country’s biggest hot spots are currently in a large city. Almost all the counties with the largest outbreaks have populations under 50,000, and most have populations under 10,000. Nearly all are in the Midwest or the Mountain West.

Among the counties with the worst per capita outbreaks, seven of the top 20 were in South Dakota — six of which have fewer than 10,000 people.

Leading the nation was Norton, Kan., — population 5,486 — with an average of 44 new daily cases a day per 10,000 people.

The shift to rural areas is a stark contrast to earlier in the pandemic, when previous peaks saw virus cases concentrated mainly in cities and suburbs. The current surge is the most geographically dispersed yet, and it is hitting hard remote counties that often lack a hospital or other critical health care resources.

What is Biden gonna do to make Corona transmission rates decline? More lockdowns. That's what. No thank you.

Biden has promised that if he were elected that HE would get covid under control. Sounds a lot like Obama when he said if he was elected that the world's oceans would recede. HA!

I read the Biden plan you posted. Basically it said free healthcare for all. Again, no thank you. That's the problem with the USA. There's too many paupers looking for a free lunch.

WRONG Again

The Biden Plan calls for:

Restoring trust, credibility, and common purpose.
Mounting an effective national emergency response that saves lives, protects frontline workers, and minimizes the spread of COVID-19.
Eliminating cost barriers for prevention of and care for COVID-19.
Pursuing decisive economic measures to help hard-hit workers, families, and small businesses and to stabilize the American economy.
Rallying the world to confront this crisis while laying the foundation for the future.

I like the Trump plan better: A vaccine that will be released by the end of the year. Problem solved.
