And just like that the KungFu/Chinese/Covid-19 Flu WAS OVER!

From: Mark Perrry’s Map of the Day: US counties divided by one-third of COVID deaths | American Enterprise Institute – AEI

The map above (click to enlarge) shows three geographical regions of the US by counties that each account for one-third of the COVID-19 deaths as of about May 8:

The red region shows the area of the US that represents one-third of COVID deaths in counties that account for only 4% of the US population.
The yellow region shows the area that represents one-third of COVID deaths in counties that account for only 11% of the US population.
The green area shows the area that represents one-third of COVID deaths in counties that account for 85% of the US population.

The expandable map version is HERE AT AEI

Interesting and unsurprising. What’s the source of the graphic?

Graphic source is apparently Mark J. Perry at AEI.

If we can’t call it the Wuhan Virus or the CCP Virus, can we call it the ACELA Corridor Virus?

You’re welcome.
At the risk of being That Guy ™, Prof. Perry also presents two other recent COVID graphics at the AEI site, though if you look at this one
https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/animated-chart-of-the-day-top-10-global-causes-of-deaths-in-2020/
it can appear to “prove” something very different. Of course it’s showing global rate-of-change rather than hot spots in the US, which is not the same thing at all.
I recommend the old classic “How To Lie With Statistics” by Darrell Huff, available for free here on archive.org,
https://archive.org/details/how-to-lie-with-statistics-darrell-huff/page/7/mode/2up
and designed to show everyday folks just how statistical presentation, normally with graphics, can manipulate impressions — which are normally what’s being sold. And since it was published in 1954, the occasional examples using pay scales are kind of a hoot.
Further deponent sayeth not.

AC Out.

Another massive scam, each bigger than the one before.
Was out and about yesterday, lots of traffic of every kind, but not a mask in sight.
Like a fart in the wind…..
