Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

I'm just curious -- where did the heatmap come from? Just some random twitter user?

Looks like the graphs/heatmaps that are shown on Down Detector. Here's one for Google as an example.

Ok, but does this also happen at other large congregations in that location? Otherwise this is just a population density anomaly map.

Why is this being downvoted?? This is a valid question.

We know that it surges at Republican conventions.

The post implies but does not actually show us that this is disproportionate to other congregations.
