California COVID-19 cases top 400,000, soon to overtake New York as worst-hit state

The most populous U.S. state has a total of 400,166 COVID-19 cases, putting it on the verge of surpassing New York - the original epicenter of the nation’s outbreak - for the highest number of infections since the novel coronavirus was first detected in the United States in January.

The rapid increase of cases has made it difficult to trace the pathogen’s path through the community through contact tracing, a process of interviewing people who test positive for the virus to find out how they were exposed, and whom they in turn might have exposed, said California Secretary of Health and Human Services Mark Ghaly.

The nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on CNN Tuesday the main issue with testing is that results often do not come back for days, making it too late to do a proper job of contact tracing.

How is this possible? I thought they were wearing masks and staying locked down. Mmmmm Maybe that really doesn’t work as well as the experts thought!!

Yeah but how many deaths compared to New York?

Remember when California was pronounced a success? It’s just a matter of time before all areas succumb to the inevitable

Seattle was the first epicenter. NY was the first of the shitholes, not the first epicenter. Did everyone forget Kirkland? That senior living center example in death was ignored by Cuomo when he penned the death order to send covid patients back to retirement homes.

Jesus Christ, NY had 20x as many cases as they could actually test. NY has 1700 deaths per million people, California 200 per million. This is piss poor journalism

Mask mandate for at least six weeks. Thought they work

WTF! That is nearly 4x all the cases in Canada. Build the NorthernWall 🇨🇦

Cases of infections maybe, not deaths! Deaths aren't even close!

Why i thought mask worked? Mask mandate there for weeks already!!! Are we being lied too

Hmmm... Another Democrat led state doing a great job with stemming the spread of the Corona?

I hate stupid people.

My God you’re . Does anyone on your staff even have rudimentary math skills? Try doing the ratio per capita per state and stop with the sensationalism. You used to be better than this.

It is so sad... CA was doing pretty well at the beginning of the outbreak despite its high population. Once George Floyd protests begin, CA cases started to increase...

Anyone blaming Democrats doesn't understand how population density works, the Southern states have higher infection rate proportionally.

face coverings have been controversial in the U.S. for more than a century. The reasons why many Americans refuse to wear masks

Awful
