14. Yes, a very happy morning to you too. Just heard the news on the "other statistically rich event"

Georgia a blue state?

And Pennsylvania finally (ahem) coming through

Nice to see we got the infamous 2016 "trifecta" of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania back to blue.

The other statistically rich event (besides the jobs report and the election), unfortunately, is Covid19. Minnesota is now #10 in highest daily new cases per capita, 7 day moving average (our U.S. neighbors are #1, #2, #3, and #5 -- NoDak, SoDak, Wisconsin, and Iowa).

I was hoping we (in Minnesota) were doing something right, as until about a week ago or maybe 2 weeks ago we had long ranked #18 to #20, while NoDak, SoDak, and Wisconsin were #1, #2, and #3 or #4. (Iowa's ranking ranged from about #5 to #8). But nope, we're getting infected now almost as badly as our neighbors.
