Just your almost-daily reminder, this is happening more than just here. Mourn those who have been lost and keep things in perspective.

Be safe!

Anyone curious about testing:

US- 10,125,565- (326,013 since yesterday)
S,I,F,G,UK- 11,830,002 (541,037 since yesterday)

I noted this study back in March and haven't heard much of it since. It still seems on track as true, as all the hardest hit countries (states, cities) still seem to fit within the same pattern. (As far as I know, it still hasn't been peer reviewed.) https://today.umd.edu/articles/predicting-covid-19-outbreaks-7dd0062a-d9f3-4a6e-aafa-cb5ab866f46a

Sorted by deaths per million, note that nearly all these countries are within the same weather zone in the Northern Hemisphere.

The rest of this thread is still applicable. https://twitter.com/PDawgKnight/status/1259556042846937089?s=20
