Hmm- C-19 spread in blue/red states AND spread in Blue/red counties in those states

[packman]

blue counties in red states have a higher increase???

[The Magistrate]

1. Such Counties Are Generally Urban, Sir

Greater population density provides more opportunity for contagion.

[EarlG]

6. That seems right

Lowest: Red counties in Blue states = sparsely populated areas with strong state government response
2nd Lowest: Blue counties in Blue states = densely populated areas with strong state government response
2nd highest: Red counties in Red states = sparsely populated areas with weak state government response
Highest: Blue counties in Red states = densely populated areas with weak state government response

[The Magistrate]

7. Exactly, Sir

The quality of government response statewide is the determining factor.

Republicans are not healthy for children and other living things....

2. Probably delays in testing in those counties explains it?

[SoonerPride]

3. Yes, because the blue counties in red states have the big cities

Like my state: Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

[The Polack MSgt]

4. My first thought is that Blue counties in red states tend to be major cities

Cities with no mask requirement and weak social distancing rules - Because "Red State FREEDUMBS"

5. Be interesting to see what the battleground states

looks like.

Might explain what Trump & the GOP are up to with this strange position on the virus.
