South Dakota so far out 1409 cases among those 20 to 49 has ZERO deaths. NYC has 598 deaths from 18-44 years old (health care, compared)

Sioux Falls has been extremely hard hit with COVID-19 positive cases and for every diagnosed one there are many others who had antibodies who were never tested.

Sioux Falls (Minnehaha County) has had 6 deaths out of 1,939 cases.

Sioux Falls has been a massive hotspot of Coronavirus for a city of it's size. It seems like likely much of the city was exposed at the same time due to the fantastic health care infrastructure and health care of the people that the deaths and severe illness was kept at a very low level.

Wow, those hospitals must be world-class in South Dakota. I have noticed very similar patterns in Utah.

South Dakota and Utah are very unique. Both have had very, very low mortality rates.

Sioux Falls has been extremely hard hit but seems to be leveling off. I wonder if Sioux Falls might be close to herd immunity and despite being one of the hardest-hit cities the health care infrastructure and health of the population was able to keep the number of deaths to an extremely low level compared to NYC.

What's your point?

South Dakotans ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange comparison.

Comparing a state to a city and further...

South Dakota population: 884,659

NYC population: 8.3 million

How many cases between 18-44 were there in NYC?

It's those superior "flyover" genes!

New Yorkers have an inferior gene pool, what can you say?

Don’t feed the troll.

I'd say the death rate for young people (<44) is hovering around 1 in two thousand, probably less - even in New York. With 1409 candidates - maybe one will die, maybe none.



Yes - that means in New York - there are 1,200,000 sick people in that age group. Probably more.



Not a mystery. Not genetics. Just data.

People in South Dakota who get the virus probably tend to have a mild case because of low viral load. There's not a lot of congestion in the population there.

People in New York who contracted it in a packed subway or the like undoubtedly had their bodies assaulted with a much heavier amount of virus. It makes a difference. At any rate, I'll bet this is one factor.

Los Angeles County has about 2000 cases per million people, while neighboring Orange County (which is also highly urbanized, but public transit and crowded apartments are virtually nonexistent) has only about 700 per million.
