Holy crap. Mari Manoogian is my state representative.
Context:
Yesterday GOP MI state rep Steve Marino claimed innocence. Today the personal protection order against him includes threatening texts he sent her including wanting her car to blow up.
No idea how I’ve missed this story in my own backyard the past few days but holy crap: detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

🚨 NEW: The CDC has updated their COVID Community Profile Report w/Florida's weekly *county-level* death breakout. This allows me to update the bar graph w/the death rate since June by Trump 2020 vote for 99.4% of the U.S. population (50 states + DC only) in two different ways.
🚨 If you go by flat 10-point election increments, the death rate since 6/30/21 in the reddest/Trumpiest counties are over NINE TIMES HIGHER than in the bluest counties.
🚨 However, only 116K people live in the former & just 1.7M live in the latter, so I've also run it a second way.

If you break the population into 10 brackets of ~33.1 million apiece from blue to red, the death rate for the Trumpiest 10% is *still* 5.1x higher:

And once again: No, insurance carriers can’t raise premiums on unvaccinated folks and no, it’s not a good idea to change that.
Here’s a refresher: acasignups.net/21/08/04/there…
HAVING SAID THAT, there's nothing stopping *employers* from increasing the contribution level of their employees towards their premiums, which is what Delta is doing.

Also, as @ErinBurnett notes in the original tweet, COVID patients *are* being charged a ton in other ways now.

CMS reminds people on unemployment they can STILL #GetCovered in a FREE #SecretPlatinum plan this year via HC.gov! acasignups.net/21/09/17/cms-r…
I can't begin to tell you what a #BigFrigginDeal this is if you don't have healthcare coverage and received unemployment benefits for even a single week in 2021. You can STILL enroll in practically FREE coverage for the rest of this year.
Premiums: $0 (that's right...FREE.)
Deductible: A few hundred bucks at most
Other Out of Pocket expenses: A few hundred bucks at most.

As long as all services are in network, you're limited to extremely low out of pocket expenses.

🧵 THREAD: If I'm reading the @uscensusbureau's data correctly, White (alone) people now make up 61.2% of the total U.S. population. 1/
According to @CDCgov data, assuming I'm reading it correctly, it looks like "Non-Hispanic Whites" also make up almost exactly 61.2% of all COVID deaths to date.

"But wait! I thought COVID was killing Black, Hispanic, etc. people at a disproportionately higher rate!" 2/
Well, that WAS true for most of the pandemic to date...but (again assuming I'm reading the CDC data correctly), it looks like that has changed over time.

From the beginning of 2020 up through Election Day, it looks like only 54.4% of all COVID deaths were among White people. 3/ Image

THREAD:
Good grief. I do not envy the @uscensusbureau their task when it comes to categorizing people into different racial demographics. 1/
On the surface, it seems simple enough: They have 6 different racial (not ethnic) categories:

--White
--Black/AA
--Am. Indian/AK Native
--Asian
--Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
--Other

However, then we get into "2 or more races" and things get...complicated. 2/
--White + Black/AA
--White + Am. Indian/AK Native
(etc)
--Black + Am. Indian/AK Native
--Black + Asian
(etc)

...and they even go into 3+, 4+, 5+ and finally have a column for someone claiming to be *all 6*. 3/

⚠️ Annnnnnnd there it is: COVID death rate by county since 6/30/21 by Trump 2020 vote, now including Florida, updated as of 9/15/21.
Note that besides Nebraska, this doesn’t include several thousand deaths whose county of residence is unknown. Also, some of Florida’s deaths to date still won’t show up for another couple of weeks.
FWIW, the death rate in the reddest bracket is 8.2x higher than in the bluest bracket. Of course, there's only a tiny number of people living in either of those, so it's probably more representative to look at the 5.5x ratio between the 80-90 & 10-20 brackets.
