Bloomberg - Covid-19 Soars in Red States as Drumpf Restarts Rallies

[BlueWavePsych]

Three weeks from Election Day, Covid-19’s sweep across the Midwest and West is pounding several Republican strongholds and the key swing state of Wisconsin.

The hardest-hit states, based on trailing one-week new cases per capita, are now North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and Utah, according to the most recent data from Johns Hopkins University. Hospitalizations are also on the rise in all five, Covid Tracking Project data show.

President Donald Trump was set to return to the campaign trail this week after his own Covid-19 hospitalization, resuming rallies where mask and social-distancing guidelines have frequently been ignored.

2. I'm in one of those states

Currently in a blue city surrounded by a sea of red. I love my job and can afford a house here. But (as a native of the PNW) this place and these people are exhausting.

3. We can't go to concerts or sports events or school or work, or visit family and friends...

But Trump can freely travel from state to state and hold those stupid rallies? WTF is wrong with this guy?

4. Iowa set a Covid record in September

and trump’s coming tomorrow for an airport rally.

I do wish Biden would make some kind of appearance in Iowa since he hasn’t been here since January and it’s now a toss up state.
