"It’s important to note, when comparing the US to EU countries, That countries in the EU aren’t equivalent to the US as a whole. Countries in the EU are more equivalent to US states. Just as EU countries respond differently, so do US states."

Good point. It's not too far away from the truth to say that the CV has hit about ten US states (or portions thereof) very hard, about ten or twelve states somewhat hard, and most of the rest not much at all.

Even within states, the variances are enormous. I live in Washington State, and as of yesterday 26 of our 40 counties had fewer than five CV deaths since the beginning, and 16 of those have had none at all. Most of our 800+ deaths have been concentrated in about five counties.

Precisely....all about the granularity of the location data media choses to push their agenda. When the global spread map of the virus of Russia for example shows the entire country red even though it spans 11 time zone with vast empty area.

Here in Maryland, for all its faults, the daily update includes data down to the zip code level after county break downs...much more useful data which also proves that statewide edicts are silly and destructive.
