Florida and Texas are both entrepots to Latin America, and New York and California to Europe and Asia, respectively. (Now that I think of it, a map of counties near resort towns would be helpful, too; the historical correlation between skiing and superspreading is pretty clear, in Europe and the US. Maybe I can dig one up.)

Vermont briefs: Hospital says cyberattack was ransomware; schools may merge accreditation  The Associated Press Modified: 12/23/2020 8:50:12 PM BURLINGTON A Vermont-based hospital network is now saying a cyberattack that crippled its computer systems in October was ransomware. While the Burlington-based University of Vermont Health Network, which serves hospitals in Vermont and upstate New York, had said its systems were attacked on Oct. 28, officials had not confirmed the attack that disabled the system’s 600 applications was ransomware.
