I’ve never seen a graphic representation of statistical analysis as brutally honest as this one. Too bad they didn’t include one that shows the percentage by county, or city. That would be telling, especially if it were presented as an overlay.
But the graphic lies. It is undated and not time-stamped, and assumes that Kentuckians don’t travel outside the borders. In reality, the statistic would likely change hourly or less, and the graphic would show a blur at Kentucky’s boundaries. (I know, I’m picking nits. Been hanging around the BRC too long.)
As an aside, Kentucky is not a State, and neither are Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Virginia. There are only 46 States in the U.S. These four are commonwealths. There’s a bar bet for you.
