Red States Are Getting Hit With MASSIVE Covid Wave Right Before Election - Ring of Fire



In a bad sign for Republicans in November, Red States are the ones seeing the largest increases in new daily COVID-19 infections as they lift restrictions prematurely in order to appease Trump. The truth is that this country is nowhere near ready to return to normal, and as long as we keep pretending that the virus doesn't exist, the longer we'll have to adjust to this unfortunate new way of life. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

50 states' minicharts "map" page, alternative to the NY Times from John Hopkins University
      The below "map" of the 50 states' minicharts (which are scaled by daily new cases PER CAPITA), is from the John Hopkins U. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases-50-states -- at that page you can click on individual states on the "map". Showing 3-day moving average of new cases. I prefer the nytimes' charts which are 7 day moving averages)
