What In The World - Part Whatever.....

November was not a good Covid month for the world. Has December been any better?

As a refresher, here is the global chart for November, showing rates per million population.   [As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]

 A lot of the usual European suspects are at the top.  The US around 7th and Canada about a third higher than the world average.  And China is there at the bottom, of course, at zero.

Keep in mind the top rates were in the 600 daily cases per million population for the month and the world average is about 92.

Now, here is the chart for December.

Key takeaways; 

• the World rate has stayed about the same
• the US is now in 2nd spot
• the Europeans are all still up there
• Canada's rate has doubled and is now double the world average
• And China is still at the bottom, at zero.  Hey, somebody should ask what they are doing right!

So for those paying attention, no surprise the US has rocketed up the charts. It must be all those shotgunning beer bros in south Florida, right?

So let's take a look at - along with Florida - who all those guilty states are.

Huh?

Tennessee and Rhode Island?

Indiana & South Dakota?

Where's Florida?

Look down,  Way down.  Florida is #43.

Maybe they're not as stupid and brain dead as the media makes them out to be.

Now, they do have the weather going for them.  But Oregon, Maine & Vermont are all below them, so it ain't just the weather.

And maybe being the best of a bad lot isn't that good, but Ontario is tucked in way down there, in red.  the rate in Florida being four times higher.  

Doesn't look like it's done any good, though.  Get ready to enjoy your province wide lockdown!

And here's a related good suggestion, from somebody....
