canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)

I like to browse Coronavirus statistics a few times a week to see how trends are developing. One of my favorite sites is the New York Times, "Coronavirus in the U.S." When I checked its California detail page a chart I've never before paid attention to jumped out at me: the map of infection hotspots in the state.

California Covid Hotspots (NY Times, data as of 4 Apr 2021)

As you can see in the chart there's one hotspot in the state right now: that bit in the upper left. That happens to be Del Norte County in the northwestern corner of the state. That's where we took a short trip 7-10 days ago and saw many people refusing to wear masks despite it being the law. And now, 7+ days later, they've got the highest new case rate in the state by a significant margin.

Wow, I'm so surprised.

To put this in broader context, though, this worst county in California still has a lower new case rate than the entire states of Michigan and New Jersey right now. Statewide, California currently has the second lowest rate of any state.

I am so very unsurprised to hear that!

However, Pelican Bay is up there. Do we know if it's the community that's infected and not just the prison?
