The Pandemic in Union County

Contrary to what might be expected based on media hysteria, Union County experienced fewer deaths from any cause in 2020 than in 2019.  The same was also true in 2009 when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic for the H1N1 swine flu.
 
I encourage all residents of Union County to look beyond sensationalized media reports, and check the data.
