The recent week's CV cases are leading indicators of how each state will probably do in the future. Judging by the cases in those 5 states, hospitals in Fl. and Mi. had better prepare for a greater influx of patients than NY, Pa., and Ca. It also shows that RIGHT NOW as far as CV goes, it would be better to live in NY and Pa than in Fl. And MUCH better in Ca. The CDC puts out those statistics NOT for historical purposes, but as a warning for FUTURE problem areas or hot spots!
Check my post, I never mentioned CA...
You stated that FL opened too early. If that were the case, since we have be open longer that the vast majority of states, we would have seen serious repercussions, resulting in soaring death numbers. It never happened!
Meanwhile NY, PA & MI closed their states down, shut business, restricted family gatherings, etc. and they still suffered more Covid deaths per capita than FL...
Those are the actual facts...
