Today's stats from the United States show that, of all the states, North Dakota has the highest number of COVid cases per capita.
That's total CoVid cases (some of them are resolved).
North Dakota has only slightly less than 800,000 people (about the size of just one California county - San Francisco is about 890,000 last time I checked).
North Dakota has had 43,000 CoVid cases.
South Dakota is in second place for total number of cases per capita. And they didn't start having cases right away, the way NY and WA did.
The NYTimes shows just how steep and rapid the curves have been in these two rural areas.
At 535 deaths per million of population, North Dakota rivals Sweden in its approach to CoVid. It didn't have to be this way, obviously, as other places have managed to keep the rates lower.
