Where did the Delta variant come from that is ravaging the US? Outside the US. Yes, it's a highly contagious respiratory illness. Those are usually GLOBAL.

IsntLifeFunny Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 It has all the context you need if you can read. It’s showing the US hotspots as designated by the first box. Here is one from the CDC without the boxes to guide you. Use the colors like a 1st grader and you’ll get there.

luvyablue256 Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Seriously, that's what this whole fake outrage over the border is all about. It's Desantis' fucking scapegoat for 2024. This is how Republicans set themselves up for success. Meanwhile, Democrats go into elections limping & wounded from airstrikes from their own fucking elected officials.

NONE OF THEM were coded correctly as having 250 or more average daily cases per 100,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legend is a not an even scale. 100 to 250 is practically indistinguishable. Quit being an idiot whining about the colors. Basically, the editors apparently said "fuck it, the south is jumping off the deep end" Edited August 4, 2021 by pat LongTimeFan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 If the scale was evenly shaded, the difference would be even more stark. The South is off the hook right now, even though the Delta variant is spreading everywhere and is no joke. Get that vaccine now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 To clarify for everyone... The New York times daily cases graph is based on daily cases per 100k people. It has a color scale shaded in intervals of 20, starting at 10. But at the top of the scale, it groups 100-250 as a single block. Essentially, all those darker areas in the South are seeing infections on an entirely scale from the rest of the country. It's well out of hand. If you recalibrated the graphs to have an even color scale, then only the South would appear to be at risk. That would be misleading, since exponential growth means even small increases are worrisome. But of course, some people just want to get a haircut while the world burns. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add up all of the average daily cases in Louisiana it doesn't come close to the 2,879 for just Los Angeles County which is a light yellow. You are more likely to run into a Covid positive person in the tightly compacted Los Angeles County then roaming around Louisiana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
