#1 I see, from worldometers, that California has entered a quasi-steady state on new infections.
People still dying like flies in Pennsylvania.
Florida, despite the Republican Governor's silly boasts, is like California. Ditto for Texas.
Only Louisiana looks like it past the worst of it - maybe (Active Cases in Louisiana)?

#6 That would be all y'all.

The grammar of y’all has regional variations, Skidmark dear, not to mention the spelling of the thing. Even the yawl that innocently caused the blow-up here the other day has legitimate historical roots. Wikipedia gives a nice gloss on the etymology and regional variation, though of course it is necessarily incomplete.
