>= 1,000 - 775 100 to 999 - 1,682(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,114. 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.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Granted, in the history of Covid, stupid times have led to peaks which eventually diminish, but this just doesn't make much sense. In particular, it's the in the Red Longitude from Texas to North Dakota where the blues have appeared. Somewhat surprisingly, North Dakotans have learned to do the right thing. Who wouda thunk it? We'll see what happens, assuming we get honest data from the Red states, when the UK and SA variants take hold. Some say they already have.
In January 2021, scientists from UK reported evidence that suggests the B.1.1.7 variant may be associated with an increased risk of death compared with other variants.And, not surpisingly, the AstraZenca/Oxford vaccine appears largely ineffective against the SA strain. Once again, the lesson of other coronaviruses is that they mutate faster than chemistry can keep pace. Which also means, along with the common cold (another coronavirus, to some extent), that we may never have either a stable vaccine or Herd Mentality. Get ready for the Evangelicals to blame it all on gays and Liberals. You know, Sodom and Gomorrah.
