Coronavirus Mojo By State

 Coronavirus Mojo By State

There are only seven US states that have never had a lockdown in response to the corona virus. There’s is the high mojo strategy, in my opinion. It would be easy to follow the conventional wisdom and lock your economy down whenever the case load gets too high. However, to buck the trend because you perceive a better strategy takes guts and mojo. The better strategy is to protect the high hazard people and deal with the risk for the low hazard people (see Sweden in recent days).

The seven states are Iowa, Arkansas, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah. Their Governors, all Republicans, are Kim Reynoldss, Asa HutchinsonI, Mark Gordon, Pete Ricketts, Doug Burgum, Kristi Noem, and Gary Herbert respectively. One size does not fit all. In other words, a national lockdown strategy wouldt not have been correct for these states These Governors realized that early and showed tremendous mojo not to lock their economies. Nevertheless, their states have achieved pretty good results. Here are some relevant statistics.

Wyoming - Wyoming has had 93.3 deaths per million residents, which ranks them 48th out of 50 states. Excellent. Their CFR is 0.69%, which is also 48th of 50. Also excellent. Currently, there is 1 death per day on average, They bounce around from zero to two. Note that travel to Wyoming is rare, so that partially explains their good numbers. However, they can’t be ignored. On average, 14 people die in Wyoming every day from all causes.1

Utah - Utah has had 164.4 deaths per million residents. which ranks 44th out of 50. Their CFR is 0.59% which is 50th out of 50!. Excellent/ Currently, there are 5 deaths per day on average, They have had as many as 6. On average, 48 people die in Utah every day from all causes.1

Nebraska - Nebraska has had 269.9 deaths per million residents, which ranks them 40th out of 50 states. Very good. Their CFR is 0.99%, which is 45th of 50. Very good. Currently, there are 3 deaths per day on average. More travel than to Wyoming, but still not a lot. On average, 43 people die in Nebraska every day from all causes.1

South Dakota - South Dakota has 325.5 deaths per million residents, which ranks them 35th out of 50 states. Good. Their CFR is 0.98%, which is 46th of 50. Excellent. Currently, there are 6 deaths per day on average, which is as high as they have ever gotten. Considering the well publicized meat packing plant issues they have had, they are doing very well. On average, 20 people die in South Dakota every day from all causes.1

North Dakota - North Dakota has 468.5 deaths per million residents, which ranks them 23rd out of 50 states. Not bad. Their CFR is 0.99%, which is 45th of 50. Very good. Currently, there are 10 deaths per day on average, which is as high as they have ever gotten. On average, 17 people die in North Dakota every day from all causes.1

Iowa - Iowa has had 469.4 deaths per million residents, which ranks them the 22nd worst out of 50 states. Their CFR is 1.47%, which is 37th out of 50. That is good. Currently, there are 12 deaths per day on average, which is as high as they have ever gotten. On average, 79 people die in Iowa every day from all causes.1

Arkansas - Arkansas has had 525.5 deaths per million residents, which ranks them the 21st worst out of 50 states. Their CFR is 1.70%, which is 31st out of 50. That is good. Currently, there are 20 deaths per day on average, Their worst was 34. On average, 86 people die in Arkansas every day from all causes.1

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
