A couple of things have struck me in this election:
|
|
|
|
Worldwide Cases(1) |
US Cases(2) |
Ratio |
In other words… |
48,613,000 |
9,463,782 |
0.1946759509 |
Almost 19.47% of the COVID-19 cases worldwide are in the United States. |
|
|
|
|
Worldwide Deaths(1) |
US Deaths(2) |
Ratio |
|
1,231,000 |
233,129 |
0.1893818034 |
Almost 18.94% of the COVID-19 deaths worldwide are in the United States. |
|
|
|
|
Global Population(3) |
US Population(3) |
Ratio |
|
7,696,208,450 |
330,550,703 |
0.0429498116 |
The US is less than 4.29% of the world's population. |
|
Why would 4.29% of the world's population have such high infection and |
||
|
death rates compared to the other 95.71%? |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

World Infection Rate (Total Cases/Total Pop) |
|
0.0063164869 |
As a human on the planet, your chances of being infected with COVID-19 are 0.0063%. |
World Death Rate (Total Deaths/Total Pop) |
|
0.0001599489 |
As a human on the planet, your chances of dying from COVID-19 are 0.0002% |
US Infection Rate (Total Cases/Total Pop) |
|
0.0286303490 |
If you are in the US, your chances of being infected with COVID-19 are 0.0286% |
US Death Rate (Total Deaths/Total Pop) |
|
0.0007052746 |
If you are in the US, your chances of dying from COVID-19 are 0.0007% |
|
|

|
If you are in the United States, the odds of you being infected with COVID-19 are |
||
(1) From Reuters |
4.53 times geater than the average person on the planet. |
||
(2) From the CDC |
If you are in the United States, your chances of dying from COVID-19 are 4.41 |
||
(3) From US Census Bureau |
times greater than the average person on the planet. Why is the United States |
||
|
so much worse off than the rest of the world when it comes to infections and |
||
|
|
|
deaths from COVID-19? |
Take time out of your life today and watch this. Watch it to the end. Eighteen minutes that may change your life.
This is an image of an early (circa 2007) floor plan for the eastern half of the School of Nursing on the third floor of Burk Hall. Everything you see here is pretty much what we have currently except the desks in BH 376 are oriented to the north rather than the east.
