      It's interesting when you look at a county-level map that nearly all hotspots are now in rural areas. This makes it difficult to distinguish between true hotspots, with lots of new infections, and "spurious hotspots," where the absolute number of new infections is small, but they're occurring in a very small county and thus causing a big spike in the per capita number.

        one case in a county with 3K people is a high rate....

        TX panhandle has the county rates bouncing around a lot.

          Not necessarily. If one person becomes infected in such a small county, the 7-day average for that county is going to look high, even though there may have been zero new cases in the preceding several weeks. Such are the pitfalls of treating discrete events continuously.

      They should ask Scooter how we would know if his Beef Supreme in Maralago had Rona induced brain damage.
