The Times’ chart provides the daily average of cases, as well as the number per 100,000. Florida is at the bottom of the list in terms of cases per capita, reporting 10 per 100,000 as of Saturday — a decrease of 42 percent in the last two weeks. Only one state, Hawaii, is reporting lower cases per capita, coming in at eight.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) state of Michigan is reporting 39 cases per 100,000, while Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) Pennsylvania is reporting 31 per capita.

The word “reporting” is giving me pause. Too much distrust of the system, I suppose.
The system is deserving, and has been since the beginning of all this.
Thanks for the ping.
Russia is having real COVID problems currently, and of course they get colder faster.
This is one big reason I've not yet moved from Florida to my rural TN bugout location.
