A truly bizarre virus it hops from place to place.
If this continues, election want be necessary.

This probably correlates with an average March-April temperature if anything else.
March is warm in TX (and in FL, AZ, etc) already and it is known that temp affects R naught negatively. LA might be an outlier from the trend.
Just a thought.

Show me population densities. Apples to oranges

IL pop density 230 people per sq mile, 7433 cases/mil
FL pop density 334 people per sq mile, 2123 cases/mil
Therefore, population density does not seem to be a cause at least in this pairwise comparison.
Also, I would imagine that Los Angeles or San Fran has an exact same pop density to NYC with much less cases in Los Angeles and San Fran.

BTW, btc is not correlating with the stock market today, with stocks being silly again.

How is the actualy distribution of the population in the states?

I would think hotspots would be much likely big cities with international airports and tourism.

The stock pump today was very likely based on the vaccine news imo.
