200 Counties Report NO Coronavirus

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.

The Writings on the Wall

“MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN”

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. 

 And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.
“My whole life has been heat. I like heat, in a certain way.” -Donald Trump

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.
