Well, it's official. The smallest state has the biggest jerks and morons. Thanks to the cavalier idiots running amok here, Rhode Island leads the nation in average daily cases per 100k.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says Rhode Island leads the nation for the number of average daily cases of the coronavirus per 100,000 people in the past seven days.
The CDC's COVID Data Tracker shows Rhode Island with 110.6 average daily cases per 100,000 people.
Minnesota and South Dakota are the only other states with rates above 100 average daily cases per 100,000.
The CDC said Connecticut's rate is 60.5 cases per 100,000 and that Massachusetts has a rate of 58.3 cases per 100,000.
Rhode Island on Monday entered the second week of a two-week "pause" that state officials hope will slow the spread of the coronavirus.
"It is not at all surprising, I have been up here warning week after week for a month and a half that this is what we were in for and, and therefore it's exactly what we expected. You shouldn't panic. You should take action. And that's exactly what I'm doing. That's exactly what we are doing. There's no purpose in panicking, this data is not good," Raimondo said Thursday at her weekly coronavirus briefing.
Rhode Island's daily positivity rate was 9.2% on Friday.
