Californias confirmed coronavirus cases have topped 409,000, surpassing New York for most in the nation, according to data from Johns Hopkins University showing Wednesday that California now has about 1,200 more cases than New York. However, New Yorks 32,520 deaths are by far the highest total in the country and four times more than Californias tally, and its rate of confirmed infections of about 2,100 per 100,000 people is twice Californias rate.

Ugh. At least New York City was somewhat consistent in its response. We have a patchwork of counties, and only some believe the virus is a problem.

Doesn't California already have border checkpoints?

Just, you know, run them the other way around.

California still has less than 25% of the amount of deaths as New York, all this means is NY didnt test nearly as many people during their peak, and waaaaay more people went undetected

No, but many counties that are not putting up - or are refusing to enforce - appropriate mitigation measures are led by Republicans.

Sure, a governor can use executive power to manage a state emergency, but if local law enforcement refuses to recognize it, it's useless.

Close to 50% at certain points. Here are some graphs but they stop at April 12. NY had these numbers for a couple more weeks

Those counties are less populated compared to the ones ran by Democrats.

LA, Imperial (although this has more to do with people traveling between borders), Highest cases in the State, both Democrats.

Compared to 1-Confirmed-Case Modoc, etc.

That are spread out, resulting in less density compared to NYC.
