[ExI] new covid case rates

[spike at rainier66.com]

The USA has a mixture of government policies, ranging from no restrictions
all the way up thru strict lockdowns and mask mandates, etc.

 

Here is how the USA is doing now:

 



 

Similar patterns and rates in Florida with no shutdowns since September, no
restrictions, lotsa travel both interstate and international, lotsa parties
(Florida is good at parties):

 



 

Michigan with strict lockdowns continuing no school and lotsa mandates, has
a new case rate per prole more than triple the USA average:

 



 

The new case rate per prole for the planet is similar to the US (and
Florida) rates, about a third of the Michigan rate and about triple the
California rate.  California has a mixture of policies administered at the
county level.  It is also good at parties, second only to Florida in that
sport.  It isn't clear at all that lockdowns are effective at reducing new
cases, but I can't imagine any reason why they would make it worse either.

 

This is all very puzzling.
