>= 1,000 - 326 100 to 999 - 1,275(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,083. 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.
Once again, these numbers just don't fit with other available data: the usual suspects, NYT, CNN, and Johns Hopkins directly. 31 states, with Michigan leading the pack, have been increasing. What's your bet that "... when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done." will be true this time, too?
The really big news, hot off the presses, is that Bolsonaro has out-stupid wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024 and Ronny VirusSeed©:
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro replaced six of his ministers on Monday, in a reshuffle that appears designed to secure greater loyalty as the country's Covid-19 crisis balloons. ... Bolsonaro has refused to endorse lockdown measures, citing the health of the economy and the personal liberty of citizens. For now, most restrictions on gatherings have been put in place by individual state governments; Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais are among the states that have implemented nightly curfews. A recent lawsuit filed by the Bolsonaro administration to lift those restrictions was rejected by the Supreme Court.So, between B.1.1.7 and Brazil's P.1, will anyone (on the Right, that is) listen to Walensky?
Walenksy reiterated warnings from many experts that the U.S. could be following behind by a few weeks what Europe has been experiencing. Countries there have seen some of their biggest spikes of the pandemic, leading to another round of restrictions and lockdowns.Just as happened last spring, aided and abetted by Ronny VirusSeed© sicing all those Spring Breakers on the Eastern USofA and, mostly, wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024 sitting with his thumb up his ass for a couple of months; the self-same months, of course. What's the chance that the USofA never sees P.1? If you bet on 0, you'll win. The only chance, that's not 0, is that enough get vaccinated such that community spread gets really, really close to 0. The only way to stay ahead of mutations is to stop transmission. Too bad the last guy was a fucking moron:
My predecessor. Oh God, I miss him."I just gotta get me a game of darts and unlimited brewskis at the Dew Drop Inn." Not to mention all those white, angry, persecuted, shitkicker Republican old guys who are convinced of their immortality ('they ain't no Covid. it's just flu'; trust me on this one. I saw video of one such cretin saying that). As long as they are the only ones who finish feet pointing skyward soon, well, then OK. But, naturally, they'll get a handful of others sick in the mean time.

It's clear now that even tiny, isolated Bermuda can't stave off Covid. What's the chance we will with the likes of Red state governments going fucking stupid?
"Girl, you're as dumb as a sack of hair."
