COVID-19 - The Great Divide
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html
If you look at the map, you see the strangest thing. There is a line straight down the center of the country. On the right are super high numbers of COVID-19 cases. And on the left, very little.
The dividing line is somewhere around Minnesota/Iowa/Missouri, and through the middle of Texas, spilling into Nebraska/Kansas/Oklahoma. Wyoming/Montana, ZILCH. Even California is spotty.
Now North/South, there is also a split. North is light orange (fewer but some cases per day), South is deep dark orange (very high numbers of cases per day)
I really feel like COVID-19 is attacking blacks, Democrats or black Democrats. And that's why we have all of these maskless people. Their populations are so low that it doesn't spread except in spots/cities. And so of course, the rural parts of the states hate the restrictions, because they are NOT catching it.
I'm in a light orange state, our numbers are rising and we're thinking of shutting down again. If I wasn't a black liberal, I almost wish I was in Wyoming.
