Washington, D.C., is now the epicenter of the pandemic.
As of Dec. 23, it had 158 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents, a 541% growth in cases over the last two weeks. This was much more than Alabama, Mississippi or South Carolina, all of which had cases in the 20s or below per 100,000.
Is this because D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser cares less about controlling the virus than the governors of those three Southern states? No, if anything she’s been overly zealous. It’s just that the omicron surge has hit at a time when the winter season means that places like D.C. — and especially the Northeast — are particularly susceptible.
Other jurisdictions that have seen big increases include Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.
The omicron wave should finally put paid to the perfervid fantasy, a staple of center-left thinking, that the coronavirus is somehow primarily a red state phenomenon, fueled by Republican recklessness and heartlessness.

While the Radical Dems battling the Omicon strain on top of the Covid Virus, where the U.S. simple mortality rate of 1.6%, China & Russia are fine tuning their physical Battle plans, for Ukraine & Taiwan respectively...which we will get roped into with our weakened infrastructure...imho!

Lt Col Charlie Brown
Strangely, the numbers of COVID in nearby DC (Northern VA and several areas of Md) are significantly lower

I sooo hate when journalist use percentages incorrectly to make things seem more dramatic, try asking them for 541% of their money, but they could only give 100%
