“Hard to imagine it entering the US in Louisiana, but whatever. Conveniently sandwiched between Texas and Florida. “
The article said it was detected in Louisiana but no info on where it entered the US. But as you say Louisiana lies between Texas and Florida so it could have come from either direction.
New Orleans is a major port so that’s also a possible entry point as well.
I was thinking less about it coming from either Texas or Florida but spreading to those states next. There is a huge desire by the DEMs to have those two states suffer.
