(10,901 posts)and yes, I'm getting extremely very confused by people wanting to open everything when we're approaching, are at, or, like this graph, way beyond the prior April-May peak (in many cases -- some areas didn't have an earlier peak but have been growing steadily from the beginning).
The below has little charts of all 50 states side by side -- default is scaled on 7 day average of new cases PER CAPITA
which is the fair way to compare states with vastly different populations. Anyway, the tallest charts are the ones with the most PER CAPITA cases with Arizona in first place and Florida in 2nd place.

I post that link here to show the wide variety of patterns, though most fit 2 patterns:
(#a#) ones that had a peak sometime in the March-May time-frame, followed by a decline and then, lately, another increasing phase, and
(#b#) ones that never had an earlier peak but have been growing from the beginning.

since the only "Clinton state" that has big growth rates lately is California, whereas lots of "Trump states" are in the news - Texas, Arizona, Florida, and some not in the news much but should be: Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi

Edited: changed: "Douche Bag states" to "Trump states".
When I wrote "Douche Bag states", I meant voted for Douche Bag, just like I meant voted for Clinton when I wrote "Clinton state". IOW I was characterizing Trump, not the states.

(9,090 posts)first they denied completely, following limbaugh's lead, and called it a dem hoax to force big govt solutions, then pivoted into death rates exaggerated, mostly just old people, we have to go back to work.
limbaugh wwould not have led that delay effort unless trump - who he was having golf with and meeting and talking with in those early months - wanted him to.
used to be when a proposed walmart got opposition from littlle biz and environmentalists the local rw radio could be counted on to defend wallmart. but when only big box stores were open they turned on them screaming for 'justice' - why only the big stores? what about the little guy. we shouldn't be helping the little guy take care of his employees though.... and no recognition that a main function of shut down was to reduce 'general' traffic to reduce burden on essential workers, supplies, be able to contact trace, etc.....
now any dem politician in those talk radio states will get the blame and the republican dittoheaded dumbshit politicians who took medical advice on COVID from a lung cancer victim who was telling them regulating cigarettes is a liberal plot and global warming is a hoax, will get the excuses and praise.
