Hmmm, a tough decision for those living in the South to make...get killed by Covid-19 while we're exiting the Pandemic with no more safeguards in place or killed by a crazy mass shooter ??? ---------- The analysis also calculated death rates by the 10 regions defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For the second consecutive year, the South had the worst COVID-19 death rates. The highest rate in both 2021 and 2022 occurred in the central South region that covers Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico. In 2022, the rate for that region was 69.3 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 residents. In second place for both years was the Southeast, defined as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi. The rate there in 2022 was 65.5 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 residents. Close behind was the Midwest — Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota — with a rate of 65.1 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 people; and the Mid-Atlantic, which represents Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia, with 64.9 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000. ---------- Don't worry, they got whiskey, women, and smoke...boot scootin' boogie. wrbtrader
