Lots of Angelenos in their 20s tonight will be packing bars and bringing COVID-19 back to their crowded mult-generational households where grandma and grandad live with them because of the liberals extreme cost of living.
In North Dakota and Wyoming lots of couples will be going hiking, camping or staying in spacious cabins next to prestine lakes socially distanced.
Unlike Florida, California has bars wide open and crowded tonight because LA has a 20.6% unemployment and they have no choice economically but to leave it all open and just let herd immunity take cover even if the tolls skyrocket.
A city mainly made up of multiple families living in tiny spaces with lots of children and lots of seniors, massive jail population, tent cities with tents right next to each other, crowded subways and trains with lots of adults who mask is wadded up on their chin or on their ear.
2,237 suspected or COVID-19 hospitalizations in Los Angeles
Compared to 5 in Wyoming and 23 in North Dakota
Got to the models with a grain of salt but some of the models show that cases will nearly double in California starting in September.
OP, when you get to the grade where they teach division, you should use those skills to note per capita numbers.
Either that or you know better and are just being intentionally dishonest.
North Dakota and Wyoming do both have fewer cases per capita, South Dakota not so much. But then again California's numbers are also just more loosey goosey. We were one of the first wave states back when testing was something that Trump talked about being widely available but was about as attainable as a golden toilet. There's almost assuredly more "non-cases" as our dear leader would call them. You know, people that had Covid but never never had Covid because the tests anyone could get most people couldn't get.
Really pretty pointless comparison though. By this point everywhere but Montana and Alaska have felt similar impacts. NY/NJ area is the worst, followed by Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, and Illinois. Mix of red and blue because, well, turns out that viruses really don't give a damn about petty politics.
Los Angeles clearly has more density than ND to spread it. Social discancing is pretty much the norm in ND, in LA not so much.
Its also hardly a new thing, cases have been rising in LA steadily since April.
London Breed and San Francisco and have done an amazing job doing what they to contain COVID-19 with minimal economic issues.
Eric Garcetti and Barbara Ferrer response to COVID-19 has been the worst out of any city worldwide it seems. Economically 700,000 jobs lost and over 20% unemployment and they are barely beginning the 1st wave there.
Los Angeles will have likely COVID intensities on a level like no like other city from now on because it's full of multi-generational households living in crowded, old, horribly ventilated run-down apartments and houses where people have multiple children living with grandma and grandad so they can keep a roof over them.
Los Angeles because of the tremendous household sizes has been a city of rampant disease for a very long time.
San Francisco doesn't have the issues of Los Angeles because it isn't full of multi-generational households with a tremendous amount of children, mom/dad and grandparents under one roof. San Fransciso seems to be more of a city of elderly, couples and singles.
San Francisco has done an incredible job in regards to this outbreak.
Los Angeles on the other I wish them luck. 20.8% unemployment rate, 700,000+ jobs gone in a few months, payrolls back to 1987 levels, riots, looting, civil unrest and more COVID-19 cases of any city in America by far and away.
Just wait...Wyoming and North Dakota numbers (and other rural areas) may start spiking soon too...I pray they don't!
