Minnesota Covid Death Trip

There are reputed to be 10,000 lakes in the state of Minnesota. If the name of each one of these lakes was changed to that of a supposed Covid-19 victim there would be at this moment 3,514 bodies of water named Long Lake or Mud Lake or Round Lake or Big Lake available to be renamed to honor someone who has fallen to the insidious virus. 

The University of Minnesota could, if it wished, provide a free ticket to a Gopher hockey game for an heir of each Covid-19 victim. In that case there would be 4,101 spots available for others, perhaps those in the early stages of the disease or in the process of recovery.

Examined in a different manner, for each Gopher stater that has succumbed to the respiratory illness, 818 remain in action. The deaths attributed to it make up a little more than .1% of the state's population.
