Now they are running stories about spikes of cases in various states and appear to put the blame on reopening too early. Comparing graphs of new cases in Florida and New York gives a better understanding.

Look at that huge spike! 2500 new cases in one day!
New York

Look how good New York is doing, they've gone down from 12,000 new cases per day to 2000, great job!
I don't know if the Florida spike is an anomaly from backlogged tests or if its a sign the virus is resurging. If it's a resurge I would certainly take a look at huge protests that have been taking place for past two weeks as a source for new infections.
There has been no big spike in Sumter County, 4 new cases in past week. There also haven't been any huge protests either. |
Seems to me you just did a masterful job arguing that NY is handling the outbreak better than Florida.
