From the McHenry County Health Department:
“As of August 9, 2020, there have been 3210 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in McHenry County, 113 confirmed deaths and 2 probable deaths.
“The death(s) reported today: None.”
And from a Friend of McHenry County Blog:
Just happened on a file from 07/11/2020 relative to Covid-19 so I pulled a comparison to today’s file.
U.S.A. (especially Illinois) went ‘full bore” on their society to prevent / control the spread, Sweden took a “herd immunity” approach.
Sweden increase in death rate /M due to Covid-19 = 23 (went from 547 to 570) 4.2 %
U.S.A. increase in death rate /M due to Covid-19 = 85 (went from 413 to 498} 20.58 %
Sweden increase in cases /M = 731 (went from 7,415 to 8,146) 9.86 %
U.S.A. increase in cases /M = 5,604 (went from 7,415 to 15,549) 56.35 %
