The CFR in the US is 5+ stable no matter were so we count the deaths from there.
Things are getting better in tri state area, not the rest of the country IE the reason why on the county level things are horrible with relative Ro's above 1 in over 95% of the US's 3007 counties.

Not only that, your red states county levels most of their Ro's are over 1
I have a problem saying things that are not relatively true over all no matter how it's put.

> 1 Ro = bad
