>= 1,000 - 259 100 to 999 - 1,379
(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,097. While I've not gotten into an argument with the Topo folks over this re-definition of 'affected' counties, it certainly looks like a move to bolster ex-President AuH2O 2020's perpetual lying.
Well, what can I say? Some times bad things happen to bad people. Some times the arrogant and the stupid get punished by Karma or Mother Nature or God.
And some times the 1% get far better treatment for the bad that happens to them. In a bit more than a month, Dear Leader Yo! Semite of Thigh Land will make another attempt to destroy health care for tens of millions of 99%-ers who don't have nearly instant access to one of the top medical facility on the planet and the only extant drug therapies. If you're among the hoi polloi, you're told to isolate until your symptoms become severe. Don't you dare go to the hospital (as Christie just did) at the onset of Covid. Don't you dare. Okay, so you end up ventilated just because your disease progression is so severe that nothing much else can be done when you're finally allowed in past the security system.
WaPo, behind paywall so I won't put in a link, reported that the quick transfer to Walter Reed was specifically timed super early just so Batshit J. Moron could be videoed walking to the chopper. Of course.
Right Wingnut Radical Populists all behave the same way, and all have the gift of gab to convince the uneducated to support them. If only these knuckleheads were just those being pillaged by the RWRPs, I wouldn't care less. But, of course, we all get to suffer. Moscow Mitch keeps his corner of power thanks to the knuckleheads. On the other hand, we're one baby step closer to President Pelosi. I wonder if Moscow Mitch and the rest of the Radical Right have caught on?
[3 October] Putin's Other Puppy, Ron Johnson, has been re-infected with Covid. The Radical Right is reaping the reward of ignoring the virus and the science of beating it. Good on them.
[5 October] A bit of analysis. Just a bit. The first version using the high-end groups was 6 July. Here is the count for the top three groups that week:
>= 1,000 - 361 100 to 999 - 1,053 25 to 99 - 930
total is 2,214
And here is the count for this week:
>= 1,000 - 259 100 to 999 - 1,379 25 to 99 - 918
total is 2,556
So, in about three months, the high count groups taken together have increased by about 350. And there's about 350 more now in the second place group knocking on the Big Door. Yeah, Covid is in the rearview mirror. (Also note that in August, Topo folks switched to 'current infections'.)
The two major differences over the period (other than the basis for count):
- drop in 1,000+ counties; mostly in the northeast, southwest, and Florida.
- very large increase in second and third group counts running up the center of the country; aka God's Country, aka Red States.
If life goes as it has been, one might reasonably expect the 1,000+ group count to skyrocket over the next two to three weeks. We'll see. Remember, that piece of the USofA has a boat load of rural counties, so if the migration does happen, it will mean that the per capita counts in those counties must be sky high. We'll see about that, too.
