Uh, Dr. Birx? Those 200-case states?

Yesterday, there were 17.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/birx-spins-extraordinarily-low-numbers-of-coronavirus-cases/

As of this afternoon with many Western states not yet updated, the total was 10:

NH
HI
NM
MT
ND
SD
WY
AK
WV
NE

NH, NM, HI and MT are over 100 cases, so in four days they probably will exceed 200.

And who knows in a week? It takes only one person visiting from a hotspot to infect a town.
