Stats can be skewed any way they want to skew them. The snippet of the press conference I saw the other day said anyone that tested positive for COVID and died from something else, still is counted as a rona-related death. Even people in hospice that had terminal cancer. It's a joke. Not to mention it's pretty obvious test results are not very accurate (false positives and false negatives) and people in control of releasing the statistics have been giving false or incomplete information (look at Florida).
some states don't have to skew the stats, states with a low population are pretty close.
this thread was done to hopefully get other posters to list what their states rates are looking like. the thing is here they give a break down of the counties and the more densely populated cities.
for Iowa the cities are these
Des Moines which is the largest
Council Bluff which is divided as part is Nebraska
Quad Cities
Cedar Rapids
Waterloo.
Iowa only has 3,300,000 people and avg about 4,000 tests per day,
the more posters that give this information will give a better idea, of how the virus is working its away across the country. right now the CDC is upset about these state opening up like they did
California
Florida
Texas
all densely populated states, but they also avg over 60,000 tests per day.
