    46 deaths 12,620 recovered. Survival rate of 99.64%
    And that’s just the confirmed cases. CDC says 40 percent are asymptomatic.
    That would make a total of 21,033. New survival rate of 99.78%.
    Total population of Bear River Health District 186,818. Infection rate. 11.26% after 10 months.
    Does that sound like a super contagious and deadly virus?
