>= 1,000 - 969 100 to 999 - 1,790(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,130. 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.
The Topo folks just updated the map (last was 10 December) as I was about to hit publish, so a day more than the usual week. No need for an update.
Total counties is down a tick, just. Top groups are at 2,759, up a tad, but continuing to grow. Bottom groups are up a tick to 26.
Bridges, do we have bridges! There are plenty of routes now available for the Memorial Trophy Dash. Depending on how you count, and using a single longitude rather than two, it's anywhere from 5 to 9; more if you count the splits and merges to the west. The western longitude, from Big Bend Texas to Montana, is nearly solid; how soon will that Covid Divide disappear? "Won't be no Covid where Real Americans live!!" The ambiguity arises from the fact that some spurs merge on one side of the main Covid Divide or the other and thus might be conservatively counted as a single bridge.
Early reporting had it that the White House Superspreaders were to get shots from the first batch. Talk about rewarding truly bad behavior!! Since then, that has been retracted. We'll see if that actually happens.
