    The Redneck Riviera looks the same way. Incoming. I really feel for the people who live in the tourist towns. This is the time of year they make most of their money, and the crowds are there. The problem is that you take your life in your hands catering to it.

    Thanks. I'd be glad to be wrong. Some kind of statistical advantage?

    Roger that. I understand herd immunity with regard to vaccines. I was talking about an individual.

    Yeah, but this one took a hit.

    Why have Trumpist states tested a smaller portion of their population than other states when the positive test rate is comparable between the two groups? Perhaps because of proximity. States bordering New York may be more compelled to test for this reason. Of course, adjacent states tend to be politically similar as well.
    Consider Illinois and Indiana. They're bordering states with different political bents.
    Illinois has tested one of every 6,169 residents with a 14% positive rate. Indiana, home of Mike Pence and the sycophant surgeon general, has a 20% positive rate yet has tested only one of every 35,000 of its residents.
    It is curious. And it may be entirely unrelated to politics.

    Nope. It is in the business of referring people to get them, as I understand it.

    It was their flow chart that Trump held up at the presser. It is my opinion that it is deeply unseemly, yet another instance of Trump finding ways to funnel in money.

    The Redneck Riviera was actually cited as a reason why a lot of Mississippi schools closed for at least this week. Last week was spring break in the state (for some reason all of the schools statewide here have it at the same time) and those in charge figured some of the students went to Destin, or Gulf Shores, or some other Gulf Coast vacation spot and might have brought the virus back with them.

    I suspect this is why Princeton was so quick to act. Gotta think a fair amount of their students go into NYC pretty regularly on the weekends.

    Alabama didn't get tests and start testing until late last week. The degree to which a Republican administration wasn't pushing for it or didn't want to know is unknown.

    This might knock some sense into the little turds who seem to think their right to party supersedes public health:
