This is the deadliest county in the deadliest state

The growth of the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed in the US. New confirmed cases rose by more than 200,000 a month ago. Yesterday, they rose by 64,375 to 28,325,091, which is 25% of the world total. Deaths in the US rose by 4,000 many days a month ago. Yesterday, it rose by 1,660 to 502,493, about 20% of the world total. However, many public health scientists and experts are concerned that new variants of the disease could spread faster and be more lethal. Three of these are now in the US. And as the number of people infected by this increases, there may be a race with the vaccination rate to prevent another surge.

Scientists, medical experts and the media use different ways to measure the distribution and presence of COVID-19. Among them are a raw number of confirmed cases, recovered cases, fatal cases and hospitalizations. The other is to measure cases and deaths per 100,000 people. It enables experts to make comparisons between provinces and states, regardless of population size.

Based on this figure per 100,000, Kansas with the most deaths is 1.23, averaging over the past seven days. At the other end of the spectrum, Hawaii is at .05. Among the Kansas counties, Scott County was hit hardest at 14.81, nearly twice the figure for the next highest county in the state by the same measure.

Scott County is located in the mid-western part of the state, in the direction of the Colorado border. The capital is Scott City. The province has 4,823 inhabitants, based on a US census estimate for 2019. This is a decrease of 2.3% compared to 2010.

a woman holding a baby: Although the COVID-19 pandemic claimed the lives of more than 340,000 people in the U.S. by 2020, Americans have a much higher chance of dying from cancer. Before the pandemic, about one in four deaths was due to cancer. Tempo 24/7 reviewed the population-adjusted cancer mortality rate in each state using the data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention to identify the states where the majority of the population dies from cancer. More than 1.7 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer in 2017, the most recent year for which cancer prevalence data is available. Nearly 600,000 die from the disease each year. In 2019, nearly 600,000 people will die from cancer. According to the CDC, lung cancer is the deadliest, accounting for about a quarter of all cancer deaths. However, the difference in lung cancer mortality rate per capita varies from state to state. In Utah, for example, the state with the lowest lung cancer mortality rate, there were 17 age-adjusted lung cancer deaths per 100,000 population, nearly one-third of the 49 per 100,000 rate in Mississippi, where the lung cancer mortality rate is highest in the U.S. States with the highest cancer mortality rates do not necessarily have the highest incidence of new diagnoses, suggesting that other risk factors - such as access to health care and healthy behaviors and outcomes, including smoking and obesity - may have an impact on cancer survival. Of the 15 countries with the highest cancer deaths, all but three have a poverty rate that is lower than the national average of 12.3%. All 15 have obesity rates higher than the US rate of 29.0%. The likelihood of being diagnosed with cancer depends on a variety of factors - including racial, economic and educational gaps - which contribute to large variations in the incidence of cancer as well as the survival rate - this is the racial distribution in cancer deaths in each state and DC

Nearly 78% of people living in Scott County are white. Another 18% are Spanish. The average household income in Scott County is $ 65,417, which is slightly below the national average. The poverty rate, 7.9%, is much lower than the US figure.

As is the case in almost every state in the state, figures for COVID-19 infections and deaths in Kansas have dropped. Confirmed cases are 294,010 and rose a modest 141 yesterday. Over the past few weeks, the increases have been more than 2,000 per day. Fatalities in the state stand at 4,614 and did not rise yesterday. The daily increase in fatalities was twice over 100 in the past month.

Kansas, like every other state, is in a race. At least three new varieties are in the U.S. and one is spreading almost certainly faster than Americans have infected in the past year. The statistics for the rate at which Kansas vaccinated its adult population are in the lower half of all states at 12% compared to the national average of 13%.

Eventually, most of the disease will move from Scott County to elsewhere in the U.S. as for a year. Meanwhile, the country has to deal with the horrific mortality of COVID-19.
