\n With coronavirus cases surging in the United States, the media were quick to blame: \u201cSeveral Republican-led states that moved quickly to reopen this spring at the urging of President Trump have seen new cases explode,\u201d The New York Times reported.<\/p>\n

Yet hyper-Democratic California is actually seeing the highest number of new cases. Yes, GOP-led Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Texas are also seeing issues. But the red-v.-blue template doesn\u2019t fit reality.<\/p>\n

Last week, the United States saw a single-day record of more than 52,000 new COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n

Counting the June numbers as a rise in infections of nearly 50 percent, The Washington Post explained: \u201cStates that took an aggressive app<\/a>roach to reopening led the country in infection spikes \u2014 along with California, the nation\u2019s most populous state, where leaders have been more cautious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most of the Sun Belt is seeing the same trend, yet California is somehow different? Funny: Six states including Cali saw record highs in cases on Wednesday \u2014 but Florida wasn\u2019t one. Why not flag that?<\/p>\n

Much of California fears hospitals will be overwhelmed, with Los Angeles County saying it could run out of hospital and ICU beds in two to three weeks. In response, Gov. Gavin News<\/a>om restored restrictions in counties that hold more than 70 percent of the state population \u2014 closing bars entirely and shutting down indoor dining and even zoos. He\u2019s pushing localities to cancel Fourth of July fireworks, too; LA County has even closed its beaches.<\/p>\n

Again: Other Sun Belt states are similarly rolling back their reopenings in hard-hit counties. It\u2019s all the same story \u2014 because the coronavirus doesn\u2019t care about red or blue.<\/p>\n

Heck, indoor dining also got put on hold in not-remotely-Sun-Belt New York City, while Michigan (led by a fierce Democratic governor) closed indoor bar service in much of the state.<\/p>\n

In all, 37 states are concerned after seeing their coronavirus cases rise week-over-week last week.
<\/br>
\nThe good news is that deaths so far aren\u2019t surging in the same way, while hospitalizations aren\u2019t lasting as long.<\/p>\n

In April, the national daily death toll was often above 2,000. Now it\u2019s around 600 and continues to drop. So the national surge in cases is concerning but not alarming.<\/p>\n

One reason for the disparity is that younger people \u2014 for whom the virus is far less deadly \u2014 are driving the numbers. Half of new California cases are under-34s. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says his state\u2019s surge is being led by those in their 20s while Florida has seen residents aged 18 and under double in their positive test rate.<\/p>\n

This all means a continued reopening \u2014 albeit a careful one \u2014 remains the way to go, pending serious signs of danger. It doesn\u2019t fit the incessant Republicans-are-evil narrative, but it does follow the numbers and the science<\/a>.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
