This report from John Elflein of @Statista shows there is still quite a disparity in death rates from state to state:

Death rates from coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States as of July 24, 2020, by state(per 100,000 people)
statista.com/statistics/110…
To match New Jersey's death rate, Florida would need to reach 38,000 deaths. Right now, Florida has 5,853. (Obviously the virus hit NJ earlier.)
Similarly, California would have to hit almost 70,000. Currently it has 8,429.
If anyone thinks I am distorting this or misinterpreting, let me know. I caught myself on something last week (see below) and had to correct, and I will do so if I am overlooking something here.
Btw... rate in New York City is 272 deaths per 100,000.

Here's a statement from the Provo, Utah police on this incident:

"A male protestor ran to the SVU on the passenger side, pointed a handgun at driver and shot one round through the window. The driver, who was struck by the bullet, hit the gas trying to leave the situation."
"The same protestor ran after the vehicle and shot a second round that went through the rear passenger window. The video then shows that the protestor conceals the firearm and continues to protest."

Link to full statement:

Note: The @ProvoPolice statement indicates there was a "planned Police Rally and a Counter protest" - it is not clear which group the shooter was affiliated with, only that he "conceals the firearm and continues to protest." Clarification from the @ProvoPolice would be helpful.

This is great. In the editor's note on @SenTomCotton's op-ed: "the tone of the essay in places is needlessly harsh"

This is the same newspaper, as I have harped on until even I am sick of hearing myself, published an **assassination fantasy** about Trump.

Cotton's op-ed "needlessly harsh."

@michelleinbklyn's response to Cotton's op-ed:
"...our mad and decomposing president."
"In a racist inversion..."
"very qualities that make Cotton’s Op-Ed revolting — his strongman pretensions, his sneering apocalypticism..."

Needfully harsh?
