H5 times N1 equals

Leavitt signed an agreement giving Wyoming $622,102 to help with planning...for...1,830 deaths, 8,178 hospitalized and an economic impact of $21.2 billion from loss of productivity and medical costs, according to "conservative" estimates.
Let's see. Wyoming has a few more than half a million people, i.e., one sixth of 1% of the U.S. total of 300 million cheery souls. 600 x 1830 = 1,098,000. 600 x 8178 = 4,906,800. 600 x $21.2 billion = $12 trillion 720 billion. And when you say 'population density', Wyoming doesn't spring to mind.
