Well, we’ve entered NY in the spring territory. Thanks trumpanzees!

1. Wow

Hope you are staying safe. It’s bad everywhere.

2. *I* am, but apparently many of my fellow Arizonans are not.

5. And we're going to be seeing post-Thanksgiving spikes soon.

And here in Ohio some nutters in the state legislature want to impeach Gov. DeWine because he’s taking this virus seriously.

I wouldn’t vote for any Republican, and DeWine has caved to the crazies a few times, but he’s at least listening to the science people and taking their advice. I just don’t understand people who do not think we need any restrictions whatsoever.

6. That's the nature of a cult. The leader speaks; they obey.

3. I think that's probably due to reporting issues over the holiday

Wasn't yesterday really low?
Not saying it isn't bad, but I don't think it jumped that much in one day.

4. Yes, yesterday was under 1000. But even

averaged out, that’s 5500+ each day. Jump of 1000/day in a week.

7. Worldometers posted this today....

Arizona reported 10,322 new cases today, a portion of which was reallocated by Worldometer to the preceding date, Nov. 30 (when an unusually low number of cases, 822, were reported), based on the following statement released by the Department of Health Services: "This large number of newly reported cases is a result of the extended four-day weekend. Most days, local health agencies review and classify newly reported cases (identifying them as confirmed, probable, or not a case). They will follow up with healthcare providers and laboratories if there are any questions about details on a case, which may take additional time over the holidays. The confirmed and probable cases identified are then reported out on our dashboard the next day as the number of new cases. With the long weekend, classification was delayed for a large portion of cases, resulting in much higher numbers than usual.
