Compared to Illinois, some of the states listed, and I have many more than this, shut down later than Illinois and some did not shut down at all. These figures are all from May 14, 2020.
We’ll use Illinois as a base since they locked down before many of these other states and many are already opening back up. 7 states did not lock down at all. The vast majority has a vulnerable elderly population the same or greater than Illinois.
Illinois has 12.67 million people. They have 84,689 confirmed cases with 3,792 deaths.
Missouri has 6.14 million people. They account for 48% of the Illinois population. At 48%, they should have confirmed cases around 40,651 but actually have only 10,317 and deaths should be 1,820 but actually have only 562.
Florida has 21.48 million people with more elderly than Illinois. They account for 169% of the Illinois population. At 169%, they should have confirmed cases around 143,124 but in reality have only 42,402 and deaths should be 6,408 but actually have only 1,827.
Texas has 29 million people. They account for 229% of the Illinois population. At 229%, they should have confirmed cases around 193,938 but in reality have only 43,851 and deaths should be 8,684 but actually have only 1,216.
Indiana has 6.73 million people. They account for 53% of the Illinois population. At 53%, they should have confirmed cases around 44,885 but in reality have only 25,473 and deaths should be 2,010 but actually have only 1,482.
Washington State, where some say this started has 7.62 million people. They account for 60% of the Illinois population. At 60% they should have confirmed cases around 50,813 but in reality have only 43,851 and deaths should be around 2,275 but actually have only 975.
Kentucky has 4.49 million people. They account for 35% of the Illinois population. At 35%, they should have confirmed cases around 29,461 but in reality have only 7,080 and deaths should be 1,327 but actually have only 326.
Arkansas, which never locked down, has 3.02 million people. They account for 23% of the Illinois population. At 23%, they should have confirmed cases around 19,478 but in reality have only 4,236 and deaths should be at 872 but actually have only 97.
Iowa, another state which never locked down, has 3.16 million people. They account for 25% of the Illinois population. At 25%, they should have confirmed cases around 21,172 but in reality have only 13,289 and deaths should be at 948 but actually have only 271.
Utah, another state which never locked down has 3.2 million people. They account for 25% of the Illinois population. At 25%, they should have confirmed cases around 21,172 but in reality have only 3,370 and deaths should be at 948 but actually have only 48.
Wisconsin has 5.8 million people which accounts for 46% of the Illinois population. At 46%, they should have confirmed cases around 38,957 but in reality only have 11,275 and deaths should be at 1,744 but actually have only 434.
Almost all of the other States have exactly the same results. There were a couple of “outliers” but they were rare. As I drilled down into the “weeds”, the numbers showed the same results. I have tried to present, without getting into the “weeds”, what the numbers are. All the physicians I’ve talked with are all telling me we should not have locked down unless it was targeted to our elderly only. There is absolutely no reason for this. They’ve further stated that these viruses mutate to the point where, at times, they can be deadly to the population and they see this about every 8 years or so. They have asked if we are going to try and lock down the country every 8 years or so from now on. They’ve told me we should be letting our immune system do what our immune system does. The thought process leading to the idea that this buys time for a vaccine or therapy is flawed. Scientists, in 70 years, only have a vaccine that is 50% effective for the flu and no real therapies other than some that may shorten the duration a few days. Physicians have told me that some of these deaths being reported as COVID-19, are not. Some people may not like what the numbers show, but the numbers are the numbers and two plus two always equals four. Something is not right.
