A study released this month found that the rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths in rural areas have far surpassed those being observed in metropolitan communities, with rural mortality rates more than double that of urban ones.

About the RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis
The RUPRI Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis conducts original research in the topical areas of access to health care services, Medicare policies, development of rural delivery systems (including effects of national policy), and public health. The mission of the Center is to provide timely analysis to federal and state health policy makers, based on the best available research.
The research of the RUPRI Center has included studies of Medicare managed care (currently Medicare Advantage plan enrollment), the Medicare prescription drug program, characteristics of the uninsured population in rural areas, classification of rural areas as unlikely to generate financial support for health care providers, and patterns of admission to hospitals for conditions treatable in an outpatient environment. Specific objectives for the Center’s work include: conducting original research and independent policy analysis that provides policy makers and others with a more complete understanding of the implications of health policy initiatives, and disseminating policy analysis that assures policy makers will consider the needs of rural health care delivery systems in the design and implementation of health policy.
“Urbans are so sick they can hardly increase.
If Rural goes from 1 sick to 2 sick, that is a 100% increase.”
That reminds me of the old book “How to Lie with Statistics”.
Of course it was deliberate. Anyone paying attention knows that ventilators are the wrong treatment and only makes things worse.
... “It’s crazy, just crazy. It’s unacceptable,” Morgan said. “From what I’m seeing, that mortality gap is accelerating.”Access to medical care has long bedeviled swaths of rural America — since 2005, 181 rural hospitals have closed. A 2020 KHN analysis found that more than half of U.S. counties, many of them largely rural, don’t have a hospital with intensive care unit beds.
Pre-pandemic, rural Americans had 20 percent higher overall death rates than those who live in urban areas, due to their lower rates of insurance, higher rates of poverty and more limited access to health care, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2019 National Center for Health Statistics.
Yep. Just more propaganda.
You are one of the biggest children, who has repeatedly trolled several threads now. Cheap name calling is all you do in threads.
So the ghost of Josef Goebbels shows up to whine. Waaaaah waaaaah waaaaah. Effing loser.
You posted "Most people here are not childish,..." and followed up by proving how very childish you are.
Thanks for adding.
Yes I know I’m childish at times but it’s just so much fun calling you out. You’re constant whining about being called out as the propagandist you are is, I have to admit, a whole lot of fun. And to be perfectly honest I don’t care what you or anyone else thinks about it. Naaa naaa na na naaa. Sticking my middle finger up right at you. I love heading into the weekend laughing at you, and smiling all the way.
Smile about this fatchild6502002:
How about you get back to us about covid “propaganda” after you finally figure out how to properly eat and exercise.
I’m not worried about Covid because im transvax, unlike you though, I’m still a man.
Is that you talking or the cake?
Lady, you better keep your day job if you have one because comedy is not your schtick.
Your Alpha Male persona is ridiculous, roly-poly.
