Vaccines are finally being given out and we are on our way to ending this pandemic. But some states are surging again and this time California is actually beating out New York in the number of Corona cases. For some reason, it is always the Dem led states that get hit the hardest.
“Last week, the state reported the nation’s fourth highest number of daily COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over a seven day period, but California jumped to first place when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its case per capita tracker Saturday.
According to the CDC update from Saturday, California has reported an average of 100.5 daily COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, which places it comfortably ahead of second-place Tennessee, which saw an average of 89.6 daily cases per 100,000 residents over the same time period.
California’s daily case-per capita figure is actually down from the 109.3 mark it was at last week, which is likely due to reporting delays caused by the Christmas holiday.”
“As of Monday, more than 19,750 patients were hospitalized with confirmed cases of the virus in California, including 4,228 treated in intensive care units. Both totals are now officially more than double the peak observed during the summer surge, when about 7,200 were hospitalized with 2,050 in intensive care.”
“Some have blamed the strict rules themselves, saying that cooped-up Californians couldn’t take it any longer and decided they need to live their lives. Others have said congregant settings remain a severe concern in a housing-constrained state, especially in low-income communities where residents live in tight quarters and must continue to work in-person to survive…
Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham (R-Templeton) argued that the state’s attempt to “shut down types of human interaction without seeing if that’s effective” was creating a backlash of sorts — “driving people to higher-risk activity” like gathering indoors at home, rather than places like restaurants.”
California and New York have been excessive with their lockdowns. They are forcing people to choose between putting food on the table or following their strict overbearing guidelines. Many people have done what they have to get by and you can’t blame them. The local leadership has already proven to be inadequate on numerous occasions. There is literally a job to clean human excrement from streets because they can’t solve their homeless problem. So really it’s not that surprising that the pandemic would be out of control in the poorly managed blue state.
