Hello Centerleftfl,
OUCH.
Look at Texas.
565 tests per million.
And you know Texas has a large Hispanic population. They often live in large families. It is logically more difficult to stay isolated when living in a home with many others. And it would also be difficult to stock up on food for a long period of time, thereby forcing people to go out and go to the store more often.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
Take a look at some of the OTHER 'typical' red states.
As I've said NUMEROUS times here (and to Texans), thank God for TEXAS, otherwise FLORIDA would win the race for ignorance in the RED electorate, stupifyingly mental midgets in the legislature, GUN FREAKS and just plain WEIRD! We jockey back and forth for 'position'.

"Vulnerable populations", just NOT vulnerable enough?
Many turned away during first day of COVID-19 testing at Orange County Convention Center

The drive-through site was set-up to test vulnerable populations in Central Florida, including health-care workers and paramedics.
As the sun rose Wednesday, Central Floridians considered most at risk for coronavirus infection streamed anxiously into an Orange County Convention Center parking lot for a drive-through mouth and nose swabbing to show whether they have the contagious virus.
National Guard combat medics swabbed nearly 250 people by day’s end, but more than 80 others were sent away without testing. Masked nurses who greeted arrivals Wednesday turned away anyone who didn’t have qualifying credentials or cite symptoms required for testing at the state-run site.
Some who passed initial screenings were later asked to leave the campus on International Drive after they were found not to have a fever or respiratory symptoms.
The drive-through site, one of several statewide operated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, was set-up to test vulnerable populations in Central Florida, including health-care workers and paramedics. Reporters were staged about a football field’s length from the screening area and not permitted to approach vehicles.
A spokeswoman said she was uncertain when the test results would be known, but those who submitted to a test will be notified of the result individually.

@BilldeBlasio
Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see “The Traitor”
@FilmLinc
. If “The Wire” was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film.
Great advice ..huh?
