Michigan has the highest death rate from coronavirus in the nation, and has conducted among the fewest tests per capita of states hit hardest by the pandemic.
With 95 new deaths reported Monday, Michigan has had 1,602 die from COVID-19.
But as a percentage of confirmed cases, deaths equal 6 percent of all confirmed cases, the highest rate in the nation. Even New York, with more than 10,000 deaths, has a lower death rate because it has tested three times as many people on a per-capita basis.
Trump eased regulation in meat processing plants. Guess what.
"South Dakota is fast becoming Red State Dead State! I hope they stay the hell away from Wyoming! It remains to be seen if our Gov is stupid enough to leave the state open should we get a breakout like that!"
Some 3-10% of Americans were infected in the 1st wave. That means some 300 million Americans are still susceptible to the virus.
