    That apocryphal Churchill quote about how you can always trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else, seems to apply not just to America as a country, but to individual Americans.pic.twitter.com/AiR2YupX7Z

        I think another apocryphal quote attributed to the Russians will come true as well: If the Americans see something as worth doing, it its worth over-doing. We're going to throw everything at this to make it go away.

        It's quite possible that the areas with increased movement are related to travel required to secure things they cannot get locally. Here in NM it could be rural people coming to ABQ to shop, see a doc, etc., vs their regular short drives to work.

        I love how nobody is going anywhere in Hawaii, even though we have very few cases. LOL We’re like, “Yep. Staying home. Dont need to ask me twice.”
