(65,148 posts)The 5 SE PA counties, Centre, Allegheny and Erie are low. Gets higher as soon as Berks in eastern PA.

(7,611 posts)As the professor in the thread says: it probably reflects a lot of the delta wave. I'm not sure how long it takes a death to be reflected as being Covid related in the official state stats. A while I would guess but really don't know. So it may be a while before we have a handle on Omicron.

7 day Average Deaths
(NYC)
Bronx County (The Bronx) 16
Kings County (Brooklyn) 29
New York County (Manhattan) 12
Queens County (Queens) 26
Richmond County (Staten Island) 6
That's 89 Deaths/7 Day average
The ENTIRE rest of the State of New York
48 Deaths/7 Day Average
I know all about PERCENTAGES PER 100k of deaths in rural counties... they're HIGH.
But the actual NUMBERS of people DYING are coming from BLUE URBAN areas.
Stop cheering on COVID-19 deaths because you think it's a high % of Trumpers.

There are R voters everywhere.
Fact 1: Deaths from COVID are highly concentrated among the unvaccinated. The medical community has consensus on that.
Fact 2: Now that reluctance in the black community has waned a bit, the most likely unvaxxed person (polling data suggests) vote R.
Fact 3: Detroit area did not vote 100% D.
Using raw numbers as you're doing is equally uniformatitive.
Knowing what we know about the other distributions suggest the opposite of what you claim.

(42,358 posts)I was thinking of vaccinations AND masks. Like seat belts AND airbags.

A lot of industries benefit from this pandemic and will continue to profit as it continues.
Some GOP person said that the death of old people frees up their money for others to use.
