States that rushed to reopen are reporting record high numbers of virus cases



By Dan Desai Martin -June 9, 2020 5:03 PM

Arizona, Florida, and Texas are among those states seeing the number of new coronavirus cases spike higher than ever.

Since the beginning of June, 11 states that opted to reopen their economies early, against expert advice, have reported record high numbers of confirmed coronavirus cases.

On Monday, the Washington Post reported that Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah had all recently experienced their highest seven-day average numbers of new cases.

On June 1, by which time all of those states had reopened their economies, none of them met all five federal criteria for doing so, according to an analysis by ProPublica.

The Post reported that three additional states — California, Oregon, and Tennessee — also saw record high case numbers, but those states had not reopened businesses statewide.

Saw more than a few people not wearing masks, and an employee told me they're not enforcing any mask rules-did my shopping and got out fast
