The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment just reported nearly 150 new COVID-19 outbreaks identified in the past week. Well over half of them are located in four counties, including Denver, that are currently at Level Red on the agency s dial dashboard, a system that transitioned from compulsory to advisory on April 16.
The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.

Inside the Dirty, Dangerous World of Carbon Flooding 17/04/2021

Around the world, scientists and advocates call for keeping carbon in the ground as a means of staving off climate change. But in the Southwestern United States – mainly in Colorado and New Mexico – a mainstay of obtaining more oil is facilitated by doing the exact opposite: drilling pure reserves of carbon dioxide out of the ground.
After it’s extracted from these natural-source underground fields, the gas then gets piped to the Permian Basin, the nation’s top-producing oil fields of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. There, oil companies use the CO2 to flood their wells, forcing the last dregs of crude to the surface in a process also known as enhanced oil recovery, or EOR.
Which counties are likeliest to ditch regulations the fastest?
In some of the state s most politically conservative counties, leaders and residents alike have decried restrictions since the start of the pandemic more than a year ago. And despite this state being solidly in the blue in statewide and national elections, there are a lot of conservative counties. In 2020, 37 of Colorado s 64 counties voted for Donald Trump, who consistently downplayed the seriousness of the virus and pushed aggressively to reopen the economy and society in general, often against the advice of his own health officials.
