Covid 7/31/20

Another high death day reporting – US on top at 1342

The leading state is FL 253 followed by TX 249

However the state picture can be misleading as noted….I suspect not many people in the US would know about Hidalgo County TX – with the total population of only 0.26% of US population – however on a ranking of ALL US county that county lead the way in deaths representing over 11% of US deaths

Hidalgo county is the red dot in the South part of Texas. As noted the healthcare system would not turn down anyone including non-US citizens. Not to ameliorate the numbers in anyway but to at least put the perspective on why the numbers could be high – potentially very tragic that people are traveling to the US for care – not in just a car ride sense traveling – Mexico fatality rates are one of the worse in the world.

The pesky covid is just not going to 0. Belgium UK China Italy Japan – all cannot take their confirmations to 0 – they are starting to rise again. The positive thing the death figures are in relatively low – but its not going to zero.
