I don't have the tweet but I have the number 402-649-1826 No idea on all the details, just was in a tweet. Just called the guy, he is out in Norfolk. Here is the deal 275-300 pound hog...he sells it to you and you find a butcher to do the butchering. No idea how much that part costs. But the hog is about 120 dollars. Link to comment
RedDenver Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I called the local butcher and found out about the deals they were having. Link to comment

Just using John Hopkin's website and Google here's what deaths per one hundred thousand looks like by my count. Japan - about 0.30 South Korea - about 0.45 Canada - about 7 Germany - about 7 US - about 17 UK - about 31 France - about 34 Italy - about 45 *Russia - about 0.55 *China - about 0.33 I would like to see this data weighted for population density. I'm not sure how that would work exactly, but a big element in this has to be how huge the US is compared to many of these countries and how many places have very few people. Link to comment

Just updated my post. Dude was super nice on the phone. Buy it live and find a butcher is basically what he told me. 275-300 pound hog for 120 dollars. Link to comment

Ya, both per capita and population density seem like they'd be important. Transmission among 1,000,000 in Nebraska would be lower than 1,000,000 in Orange County. The U.S. has 36 people per square km, France has 117, Italy has 533, UK has 274. It might make sense to compare Italy to New York or NYC, but not to the U.S. overall. 2 Link to comment

That's exactly what I did. Take the deaths divide by total population then multiply by 100k. That gives you a normalized reference of deaths per 100k people. Link to comment

What you're asking for would probably be best to visualize in a heatmap of some kind, and ain't nobody on here got time for that! Link to comment
