I know we used to care about death rates but haven’t those numbers been dropping for weeks?

They still are dropping. Embarrassingly we still haven't dropped them enough to be at the expected 2% fatality rate. Our numbers are showing like 5% right now. For a 1st world country.

What the hell Benja???
Texas has slipped to #6 with Tennessee coming in and taking the #5 spot. They've squeeeeaked in front of them with 1,410 cases over Texas's 1,408! You need to get out there and find 3 people with the sniffles!

Well you've done something right (?)!!
Texas moves back into the #4 spot, moving out in front of N Carolina and Tennessee with 1,751! They've got a lot left in them... but do they have enough to take the #1 spot???

And Texas takes the #3 spot from Georgia! Just edging ahead of them by a single COVID infected bar capacity! Currently standing at 1928 to Georgia's 1,900.... texas still has a long way to go to get that #2 spot from Arizona, who's standing with a cool 3,428.

We have not heard much from the fan favorite, California, who's just been edging up the ranks to #7. California, always a late finisher and frequently taking the top spot has its eyes on Florida's 8,942.... but can they make that number?

And California makes another quick move from #7 to #5.... Top ranking is still Florida, with AZ sitting at a comfortable #2. But #3 and #4 is a true horserace, and CA is coming along the outside at #5!

California is coming up quick! Moving from #5 to #4 with 1,958 and showing the fans why it's always a contender to watch! Meanwhile, Texas is making a play for the #2 spot, moving within 1,000 of AZ, which has been holding that position for most of the day. Will AZ be able to hold them off?

AND TEXAS TAKES THE #2 SPOT! I tell ya folks, it's an exciting day at the COVID-19 racetrack. We thought AZ had a strong position, but watching this powerhouse of infectious disease just push its way forward is truly an inspiring sight.

Now, we have to ask ourselves, can TX defend its #2 spot from CA? Currently holding at 3,858 TX is not in the safest position. This is a number we all know CA can reach. Does TX have more in them? Was last weekends beach parties enough to hold off CA? Were they enough to take the #1 spot from upstart FL, who is having their best day ever?

Positions holding strong as we go into the last stretch of the day....
#1 - Florida - Due to some very creative re-opening strategies a couple weeks ago, FL has made itself into quite the contender. I tell ya, this is what determination will get you.
#2 - Texas - Able to upset AZ, who came out strong today... Texas is showing us why everything is bigger in texas....
#3 - Arizona - I don't have enough positive things to say about the positivity AZ has show regarding COVID. As the smallest of the top 5 states, AZ is a real powerhouse, with more cases/MM than any other. A real dynamo.....
#4 - California - I know Jerry... the race isn't over, and CA is known for their late race surges... They're only 500 cases away from beating AZ, and still within striking distance of Texas.
#5 - Georgia - GA is a bunch of d#cks, we don't know why we let them race with the rest of the states.... But there they are... sitting in 5th place.

As a whole it is already a recordbreaking day...
We have FL with a one day record of 8,942 cases...
And overall, with the day not even done, we have a SECOND IN A ROW record for the USA! Already at 42,253 cases with more of the day to go! I tell you, this is an amazing day. If we keep this up we'll be able to beat Brazil's 1 day record too!

I’m pretty sure AZ is doing better than that if you count the Navajo nation.

It's strange.

When states like NY or MA were in trouble, and people were dying, it was considered tragic.

Now that the state names are TX and FL, people are finding humor in it. They're laying blame.

I should expect nothing less from the liberals.
And yet, I always find myself disappointed yet again.
