There was no red wave. There wasn't even a red splash. Against most expectations — and in the face of daunting fundamentals — the Democratic Party held its own against a hungry and aggressive Republican Party. It flipped seats and chambers in Michigan; it stood its ground in Virginia and Wisconsin; and it fought Republicans to a standstill in Arizona and a runoff in Georgia. It's not that Election Day was perfect for Democrats, but even with defeats in Florida, Texas and crucial House races in New York, Democrats could still say that theirs was the strongest midterm performance for a president's party since Republicans gained seats in the 2002 elections under George W. Bush and the best one for Democrats since the party gained Senate seats under John F. Kennedy in 1962. But for all of the drama of this election — and for all of its very real stakes — it's also true that 2022 is yet another cycle in which the overall electoral picture changed less than you might imagine.

It's also divided into counties which makes checking out the population a lot easier. As of now, there are a total of 3,143 counties within the 50 states. Not all counties are equal, though, as some are more densely populated than others.

Harriet Callahan was caught completely by surprise. While visiting a doctor for arthritis a few years ago, a routine blood test revealed she had hepatitis C, one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the United States. Callahan, in her 70s, was told it was likely the viral infection had been living silently in her bloodstream for decades. She doesn't know where she contracted it. Was it in her teens when she received several blood transfusions after a car accident? Or from occasional drug use during her "hippie" days? All these years later, it didn't really matter. The retired medical and legal secretary living in Hingham, Massachusetts was shocked — she'd shown no symptoms of the infection, which can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis and contributed to upwards of 14,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2020. "It was hard to deal with," said Callahan, 74, "knowing all these years I had it." After two rounds of direct-acting antiviral treatment through
