Hi Dylan,

The range of numbers should be telling us something important.

I used to travel to New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey a lot for business.  The biggest difference in those states is they all use mass transit a lot and their cities are very tightly packed, even more so than western US cities generally.  I don’t know about Louisiana, never went there on business or for any other reason.  I don’t know why their numbers are so high.  Mardi Gras?

When the quarantine started last month, they wanted people to stay home, but public transit continued.  The three states I know about all kept their public transit going while packing people into homes.  It could be that the strategy is wrong: they shoulda stopped mass transit and encouraged people to get out of homes where a new risk is one resident can infect all the residents, as we are seeing in nursing homes.

These numbers are stunning:

I am assuming all countries have something analogous to US states, provinces or some means of distributing political power.  So they should have numbers like this somewhere, ja?
