To give everyone a sense of perspective, below you will find the PA COVID19 fatality count by county as of May 7. Caveat emptor - we know there has been funny stuff going on with the counts. That said...

Perspective comes chiefly from putting each county's fatality total on a common footing: I take each county's fatality total, divide it by that county's population (i.e., convert it to a per capita fatality value) then multiply it by the USA's total population of about 329 million. This results in a metric = "USA-Adjusted Fatalities" - that is comparable to the US total of 75,662 and is comparable across municipalities.

Daphin and Lebanon are fairly comparable at about 39k Adjusted fatalities, while Cumberland is at the high end with 40.6k but Perry is at a scant 7k. All are well below the PA Adjusted Fatality total of 92,647 and the US total of 75,662.

Caveat emptor - we know there has been funny stuff going on with the counts.

That tranny thing admitted in the press conference today that the numbers for the last couple of days include deaths from the past.

So they are not reporting correctly and they are obviously playing politics.
