According to the USA TODAY’s analysis included data from its own county-by-county tracking report and demographic characteristics of each county drawn from the U.S. Census and American Community Survey.    The USA report shares that as of May 15, a total of 231 of 3,143 counties had no reported cases.

The report gives insight of the  how and why the COVID 19 was low, as well as the what is working.

Isolation has proven to be insulation in Iowa as well, as four farmland counties in the southern tier of the state still have no reported infections. 

In Georgia’s rural Glascock County, which reported its first case earlier this month, Emergency Management Director Mike Lyons believes the county’s size may have shielded it from COVID-19 for as long as it did. Census data put Glascock County’s population at 3,009, making it the fifth-smallest statewide.

What is happening to America?

Do you believe that America is a pleasing scent to the God of the universe?   

Daniel the prophet of old translated the writing on the wall and said:  But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 

Daniel, Chapter 1 verse 27 give instruction for all leaders of the future …

Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity.

Did you know that each month has a ribbon that recognize challenges to bring HOPE?

According to U.S Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), there are approximately 8.9 million American adults who have co-occurring disorders — 7.4 % of individuals receive treatment for both disorders, while 55.8 % receive no treatment at all.

On page three, a guide for mental health planning + advisory councils (SAMHSA) there is an estimated 600,000 people that are homeless and approximately half have co-occurring disorders.

The Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network has stated that there is a disturbing 43 % of the youth receiving mental health services in America, many have co-occurring disorders.

The National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) has stated that out of 450,000 Americans incarcerated 72 %  have co-occurring disorders. 

Last but not finished: Tom Insel, M.D., the former  director of The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has also established that the monetary cost of mental illness will be more than cancer, diabetes and respiratory ailment.
