Friday's report:
16,145 new cases; about
7k fewer than two weeks ago.
Top 5:
Fuck Florida (it's legit, see below).
California: 1,007 new cases; 39 deaths
Colorado: 930 new cases; 14 deaths
New York: 703 new cases; 12 deaths
Texas: 695 new cases; 45 deaths
So, turns out Florida is going to do weekly reports after all, and their report for this past week shows I've been right to keep them right up there at the top. Even though they're omitting some information and pruning the numbers they're still worse off than DeathSantis is trying to paint things. More in Related. California's total keeps dipping and may end up going sub-1k next week (weekends don't count). Texas' total I don't believe for a moment considering they were hitting 1.5-1.7k often this week, so I expect them to be over 1k again next week.
421 deaths is about 200 fewer than two weeks ago and brings the total to
614,738. Florida, Texas and California round off the top 3 as expected.

Stay safe, folks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm going to be skipping the reports for Saturdays and Sundays. There's no point to them when half the country isn't reporting anything on those days.
