in spite of knowing the fn nutjob lies all the time, I really hoped maybe that number came from someone with a brain in their head(s).

Stafford, Kearney, Haskell, Smith, Osborne, Chatauqua, Woodson, Rush, Lincoln, Ness, Edwards, Jewell, Decatur, Trego, Morton, Logan, Cheyenne, Chase, Gove, Hamilton, Elk, Graham, Kiowa, Rawlins, Sheridan, Wichita, Stanton, Clark, Hodgeman, Comanche, Lane, Wallace, Greeley



And you'd still have 3,268 deaths left over, which would be enough to wipe out most of Meade County as well.

Alternatively, imagine one of the following cities disappearing:

Canton, OH
Camden, NJ
Duluth, MN
Fall River, MA
Reading, PA
St. Joseph, MO
Trenton, NJ

. . . with thousands of deaths to spare.

Counted or uncounted.

Cancer and heart disease step aside, we're heading back to the Make America Great Again days when viruses and bacteria are the leading cause of death.
