Sad statistics

Wow, it's almost mind-boggling.   Actually, two things are mind-boggling.   First, the numbers are 'going through the roof' for some areas.    Second, the prevailing attitudes in some (many?) of those areas are a collective yawn, almost a nonchalance of "it's really over, and I don't need to worry".

So, firstly, here's the plot for Tulare County where I live, and the surrounding two counties, Fresno and Kern.   Kern's 'big town' is Bakersfield, ours is Visalia, and of course Fresno in in Fresco county.



Then I used our "time-slider" on the Dashboard https://anywhereanytime.io/covid19/
to look at the "peak" of the April outbreaks (recall those in New York and New Jersey especially) vs. the June activity.   The top fourteen states are listed for each period, as are the total Cases.  Note that there is only one state on both the April and the June lists; also note that the total cases are similar.

Some of the pertinent facts are shown on the first slide; the maps and the state lists are on the second.
