Ohio now has a higher case rate than Florida or Texas. The center of the disease is now the Appalachians: OH, KY, TN.
As for Florida, its case rate is the same as...New York.
Like my previous tweet stated, Maine is seeing a surge of hospitalizations; so is Vermont. The numbers generally aren't large, but are significant relative to their population.
This is the current COVID Map. The Appalachians are getting hit...as is the Northwest.
This is the map from 9/17.
This is the map from 9/13
What we are seeing is a slow progression of disease away from the South, and to the North, on both coast and in the center of the country.

Every couple decades or so, a political party complete deludes itself, is tone deaf, and then self immolates.
That is what the Democrats just did.
The fact they did this in the face of a threat from Trump just goes to show how stupid our political elites always are.
Trump won for a simple reason: He is politically smarter than Dems politically. Its the same reason Clinton, Bush, Obama won in the past; he is just better at politics than his opponents.
Trump should have never won in 2016, but stayed the course, and Hillary was stupid.
Trump would've won in 2020 if not for a once in a century global pandemic.
And this year, in the face of a mentally questionable President and a untrusted Vice President, easily won.
Who is responsible for the Democrats' complete face plant?
5. DEI/Woke 4. Media 3. Antisemitic Left 2. Kamala Harris 1. Joe Biden
Nobody is more to blame than Joe Biden.
He promised to be a bridge to the future.
Instead in his arrogance he thought he could be a modern FDR, a transformative figure. What a joke.
Biden's failure to step aside, and to allow the Party to choose a successor, was a historic error, a selfish moment of personal privilege that cost the country greatly.
My problem with Biden's response to the vast surge in antisemitism on his watch is that his statements have been fine, but followed up with almost zero specific action by his administration. He has done as little as Trump did after Charlottesville.
Frankly, Biden and AG Merrick Garland have acted far, FAR more aggressively against conservative groups.
See how they responded to critics of schools. They were right to do this...but we've seen nothing of the sort against anti-semites. Why?
Let's see Garland's 'memo' targeting anti-semitic groups, largely pro-Palestinian ones, and then I might believe they are treating this threat reasonably.
Democrats are really, truly going to be stupid enough to let Donald Trump win, aren't they?
They are completely oblivious and trying to lose.
Let me count the ways:
1. Biden's age.
This is pretty obvious at this point. They are denying the reality of Biden's physical and mental decline. Voters see it.
2. Polling
Biden himself has said that the polls 'were wrong'. They aren't wrong. They are probably relatively accurate. Best case scenario, Biden is tied with a convicted, impeached opponent. Worst case, he is losing to that same clown.
The problem is that Biden is always wandering. This is not a unique moment. The media knows this, but since they are so dishonest, they have no credibility at all.
