Day 620: You Are Not Free to Move About The Country

Southwest Airlines is experiencing a miraculous new phenomenon of airline-specific weather delays. While the more willingly vaccinated (or at least more reliably staffed) airlines continued to fly over the holiday weekend, some Southwest-specific dark clouds grounded hundreds of their flights.

The MDPH was merely sleeping on the job last week, not giving up daily reporting, and the numbers have now appeared (sans apology) on the website. Of course Monday was a holiday, so the best I can give you is an increase in cases of two ninths of a percentage point as of last Friday.

P.S. Here's an article with a Southwest pilot's perspective on the "weather" situation.
