Some states are younger. I’ve always thought of Oregon as a “young person state” but haven’t actually looked at the demographics. I wonder if that’s figuring into Oregon’s low mortality rates? Utah has the lowest median age population in the nation and a population that largely refrains from smoking tobacco. That undoubtedly helps.

Of course, age isn’t always the greatest factor in death rates. Japan’s median age is really old yet due to policies and practices, their death rates have remained low. Had japan done what Trump and DeSantis have done, they’d be Looking at a complete catastrophe. I wonder what policies Oregon has put into place? Do you know? Utah was one of the first states to shut down schools. Then, the dominant religion messaged memebers to encouraging them to wear masks. Ironic that some of the most active members on social media are leading the crusade against masks @Eric moustos...

It’ll be interesting in coming years to see which policies were most effective and how genetics, lifestyle, and age effected things.

Oregon's actually kind of old according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_median_age

But I really have no idea on their regulations, have a couple cousins out that way, will have to ask :)

Interesting. Thanks for posting. I’d definitely be interested in what policies the state has enacted and what your family’s experience has been.

I had a friend cross into Canada and they were given a long list of things they had to agree to. They had to self-quarantine for two weeks. Coming back into America they weren’t asked anything.

Yeah, but he was very pleased that the governor of Florida, just one example, responded to the coronavirus exactly as he himself did. Like a clueless, anti-science moron with zero concern for human life. Kinda like a fascist when one thinks about it.

Are the Dems more stupid than the impossibly stupid Trump? Because they are doing everything in their power to hand him the election again. The levels of idiocy going on right now are insane.

Is this surprising to anyone? We elected a man who has proven over decades to be a racist and narcissistic blowhard. He claimed that the previous president was from Africa because he was black. Trump began his campaign calling Mexicans drug dealing rapists and murderers. He’s supported by some of the ugliest media propaganda outlets we’ve ever seen, people like Steve Bannon, Bill Oreilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Roger Ailes.

Has anyone read a history book before? When doesn't a racist corrupt demagogue supported by a massive propaganda apparatus not end in disaster?

I’m genuinely curious what people actually expected?

I too hope we make the right choice. But the right choice really shouldn’t be hard to anyone decently informed and/or lacking character.
