WOW. I knew that La. was reeling, but I still would have thought that NYC was worse. This also confirms that Ga. may be the next hot spot. Scary.
Not really that shocked. The 3 Georgia counties are around Albany which is already well known as a huge hot spot.
The areas in LA are actually not small counties like in GA. They are mostly the parishs around New Orleans.
Mortality rates will likely be worse in smaller, rural communities as the virus spreads to them (and since we can't test enough people it will spread). They tend to be older, less healthy then more populated areas with less hospital beds per capita. Just a really bad mix.
This is an interesting article on a tech company offering the government help in tracking cellphones. In particular in the video they show how they can track cell phones that were in FL on specific days and where they have gone to since then. Gives you a sense of where all the springbreakers are headed.
