Scary. 2 weeks ago 1 in 1000 North Dakotans dead from covid.
That number has moved to 1 in 800 dead from covid


New Jersey is almost 2 in a thousand people dead from Covid. N. Dakota is 8 worse per capita among the states. Why are you picking on N. Dakota because it is Republican? The 4 worse states are all Democratic states.

I love Fark.com
Its actually one of my main news sources
They dont do any reporting, just post interesting news story links.
What they find interesting, I generally find interesting.
Maybe they have an axe to grind w/N Dakota
I just go through fark and if I come to a story that I say wow to myself, I repost it here
I read the N Dakota story and said wow to myself :-)

ND, like SD, OK and AZ, has a large Native American population. Covid is hitting them especially hard. Their high obesity rate is one contributing factor.

“North Dakota has a highly vulnerable population of Native Americans who are on average reported to be five times more susceptible to mortality than their white counterparts,”

ND does not issue race and ethnicity statistics, but most other states do.

SD Deaths per 100,000

Native American: 174
Asian: 88
Black: 32 (small sample)
Hispanic: 31
White: 108

AZ Deaths per 100,000

Native American: 261
Asian: 32
Black: 70
Hispanic: 92
White: 77

I should have been more specific: her *ignorant policies* killed her grandma. She didn’t physically put a pillow over grannie’s face or something...

Kristi Noem's grandmother died in a nursing home hit by COVID-19 as the South Dakota governor continued to downplay the virus

Grandma was negative for Covid.
Now what?

Master Negotiator "Gelato Pelosi" now getting on board for a sub $1T Stimulus Package.
Trump/Mnuchin were offering $1.8T before the Election.
Can't wait for the spin on how getting $1T deal in mid December is better for America than $1.8T in October.

Why do you always try to blame Donny’s failures on the Dems? “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating.”
