The April Fool is the one that gets bitten….

1301 hits in the last 8 days, so activity has slowed a little. We had reports on 39% of known active ZTBs, in 29 countries and 26 states in the U. S. Maryland, Massachusetts and New York were worst of, and activity in Virginia is ramping up. Portugal has picked back up considerably, and Norway as well. Germany continues to have a lot of activity too. We had odd spurious reports from a number of outlying places, like the Northern Mariana Islands, and Antarctica. If this has spread to places that remote, hope is dwindling. Grim news. Be safe out there.
