>= 1,000 - 860 100 to 999 - 1,806(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,132. 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 wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024's perpetual lying.
Happy days are here again!! Recall back when the Covid Sea to Shining Sea Memorial 100+ Trophy Dash was first proposed? This was in the height of the Southern Excursion of Covid, and there was nearly a straight shot from the Atlantic to the Pacific, starting in Virginia-Florida to California. But those two recalcitrant counties in New Mexico, Hildago and Grant, neither of which could get its act together and reach 100 active cases (this was after the change in definition instituted by Topo folks). They are, after all, small population jurisdictions: Hildago at 4,198 and Grant at 26,998. Well, thanks be to the good folks in Grant county and Callahan County, TX, the final bricks in the Yellow Brick Road from Atlantic to Pacific have been laid. To be fair to the rest of the Covidiots, there's also been some filling in of qualifying counties (eight, count 'em eight, bridges including across North Dakota and south Texas) through the Deep South states
Let's hear it for Grant County!!
Vicissitudes being what they are, just in case either county backslides between now and Monday, a commeration seemed appropriate. Enjoy.
