Louisiana now has the fastest spreading population in the US. This will likely follow in other southern states. Of concern for the residents of these states should be the higher obesity levels, underfunded educational systems, and underfunded healthcare systems. Outside of the major metros in the South there are even higher risks in the more rural areas. Compare the readiness of the West and East Coast with that of the South - this could be a disaster.

This virus has the potential to devastate much of the South.

There are 7x as many cases in Louisiana today as there was 7 days ago

There are 22x as many cases in New York today as there was 7 days ago

i dunno what this "fastest spreading stuff" is but it sounds like bullshit to me

It's in the first 13 days - from case 1 to their current levels.

New York and CA had low numbers for a while - this was possibly due to testing availability. But Louisiana and New Orleans look primed to get hit hard here.

News from the south, especially due to poor leadership (I imagine in order to pay homage to their dear leader), will likely get substantially worse sooner than many think.

Well, I guess maybe eventually. The market seems to be taking the unemployment data and the regional surveys as evidence that more fiscal support will be coming?
