Last I Heard

Last I heard, Detroit had a White mayor, although they have had a couple of Black mayors in the past.  The reason I say that the Blacks took over Detroit is that Detroit's population is 82.7% Black and 10.6% White.  Back in 1950, it was 83.7% White and 16.2% Black.  The rest are mostly Hispanic now, they weren't even counting Hispanics in 1950.  There are also some Arabs and other Muslim types, but they live mostly in Hamtramck, which is an autonomous enclave surrounded by Detroit.  Highland Park, another autonomous enclave adjacent to Hamtramck is 93.5 % Black.

The State of New York has reported a total of 24,866 corona related deaths, while Florida has reported 3,550.  The population of the State of New York is over 19 million, while the population of Florida is over 21 million.

I don't have official numbers for this, but my informal observation suggests that about half of the people shopping in the Cheboygan area are wearing masks.  Cheboygan County, with a population of about 26,000, has reported a total of 22 corona cases and one death.  Last I heard, 19 of the cases had recovered, so we presently have one or two active cases.
