USA Today
And the chaser ....

They shrugged off the pandemic, then their family and friends started dying
quote:
Just over a month ago, the now-rampaging coronavirus pandemic tore through this rural town of 1,000 and surrounding Gove County, killing 20 residents.
quote:
Even today, mask-wearing remains controversial in Gove County, and friendships are being strained as authorities struggle to persuade their neighbors to follow basic public health guidelines, such as avoiding large gatherings.
And the chaser ....
quote:
President Donald Trump won the county with 88% of the vote in November, and many of the residents, including the farmers who raise up corn and sorghum, are deeply skeptical of government and public health orders, often echoing the language Trump has used about mask-wearing and the pandemic's severity.

They would have survived if they used Clorox. RIP

it has a proven, statistically inflated batting average of .004
Pretty inaccurate for a "rampage" if you ask me.

What about only 50% of people in the black community saying they’ll get a vaccine. I’m sure we’ll see write ups about how they are ignoring public health orders and 98% voted for Biden.

Might document my daily 3 mile corona runs with a go pro and send it in to show how deadly the virus is for everyone not in a nursing home or pushing 40+ BMI’s
Posted on 12/15/20 at 9:09 am to Bjorn Cyborg
So, it’s basically no different than the flu?

Imagine reading an article like this and feeling enlightened after

And they wonder why people don’t trust the media...I thought the point of news was to report the news, not to sensationalize and mislead and get famous.
The writers at most of these big news companies are one small step above the National enquirer.

Activist "journalism" at its finest. Gove County has 2,600 residents. But look how they carefully word the line:
It makes it look like 20 residents out of 1,000 died. But Gove County, Kansas has 2,600 residents. Further, the average of a Kansan is 36 years old, while the average age of a Gove County resident is over 50.
I mean, imagine an entire county where the average age is 50 years old. Of course you're going to have a higher death rate. I bet they have much higher death rates for flu, pneumonia, cancer and heart disease too.

Good news is Warp Speed is going to save this county. The 88% that is.

Also from the article in bold letters:
The guy was 90. Jesus Christ.

Coronavirus claims town historian

D.A. Crist was Gove County's unofficial historian. Born in 1930 on the family farm, he lived away for a few years after college
The guy was 90. Jesus Christ.

Deadliest place in America is a nursing home in WA, NY, NJ, PA, etc.

IDK about that town or its masking requirements, but whoever wrote that article should seriously consider purchasing a dental dam.

Hardly. He was like 30 something when he kicked the bucket.

They are probably science deniers and don't use gender neutral pronouns too.

I weep for journalism.
The writer of that article should be fired, but unfortunately his/her/its editor probably assigned it and helped mold it into the shite-stain it is.
