"Not to put too fine a point on it, from an entirely disinterested economic perspective, the COVID-19 might even prove mildly beneficial in the long term by disproportionately culling elderly dependents."
Jeremy Warner, in a Guardian article, March 3rd.
To date, according to the CDC, looking at data from July 1st (what appears to be the latest complete data), there have been 90,360 deaths of Americans aged 65 and up. The total deaths listed is 112,226. Thus, a bulk of the dead are old people–about 75%. Things that make you say, "Hmmm..."
The CDC: https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Prov....isional-COVID-19-Dea
#1. New York - 32,248 deaths. (1/4 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor.)
#2. New Jersey - 15,279 deaths (1/10 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor.)
#3. Massachusetts - 8,183 deaths (1/20 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
#4. Illinois - 7,230 deaths (1/20 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
#5 Pennsylvania - 6,804 deaths (1/25 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
#6 California - 6,337 deaths (1/25 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
#7 Michigan - 6,218 deaths (1/25 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
#8 Connecticut - 4,335 deaths (1/30 of the entire nation's deaths; Democrat governor)
These are the top 8 states when it comes with deaths. The total number of deaths here is 86,634. Or, (using the Worldometer's number rather than the CDC's, of 132,569) 65% of all of America's deaths before you finally get to a state with a Republican governor (Florida, #9, 3,732 deaths. Next GOP one is #12, Ohio, with 2,935).
And my suspicions are confirmed. The CDC has been reporting the combined numbers of both PCR testing (active infections) and serology tests (prior, recovered infection) in their daily "new case" tallies. The article indicates several states are doing the same thing.
