Parallax View - part the forty eighth

Another week's up, so here are today's numbers:
  >= 1,000 -   407
100 to 999 - 1,415
(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,105. 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.

[2 March] Once again, one of The Stooges does it again. I am sure it will work out just fine.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday he's lifting the mask mandate in Texas, even as health officials warn not to ease safety restrictions.
...
Also, effective next Wednesday, all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100%, Abbott said.
Well, just like the Social Darwinist approach to electricity.

[7 March] Once again, DeSantis is DeLuded. Remember this tracing from a year ago? I'll bet we'll see it again in a few weeks. Ronny VirusSeed is at it again. And, for good measure, Bolsonaro has gone batshit crazy, again.
Brazil's outbreak, among the worst in the world, has become a source of global concern as new, more contagious variants have become dominant in much of the country. Scientists say there is worrisome evidence that the variants can make reinfections more likely and they are urgently studying whether these variants reduce the efficacy of vaccines.
[8 March] So, today's report indicates that Ronny VirusSeed has a perfect situation to plant Covid at least as widely as he did last year.
So far, the agency has reported more than 2,600 known cases of the variant [B.1.1.7] across 46 states, Puerto Rico and Washington DC. Nearly a quarter of those cases are in Florida.
