Sunshine Or On Fire State


Let's take a look around the world at all things COVID and see who is flattening and who is igniting.

I think we might all know the answer to the latter.

This chart looks at the 4 day average per capita rate of new COVID cases.  [As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]


Florida, no surprise, is red hot. I mean really hot.

But so is Texas, California, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

Former hot spots, Spain & Italy, are down in the piker region with Canada.

So let's drill into Florida.


So even though (red bar) Florida is miles above the rest of the world, Miami Beach is miles above everywhere in Florida.

What's going on?  Well, in addition to the aforementioned shotgunning beer bros....


....Miami seems also to be home to not only pulsating nightclubs but massive parties at private homes.


Okay, that looks more like a booze cruise, but you get the idea.

Unfortunately, they don't.

As long as they stay in their infected petri bubble, I'm okay.  But as soon as they say "Dudes, let's go rockin' in Canada!" that changes everything.

Luckily most of them couldn't find Canada on a map.  Let alone put a plan together to get here.

Here's hoping, anyway.....
