5.tied: Georgia and California

Considering CA has about 4X the population of GA, and CA was predicted to be one of the absolute worst impacted states, we are doing much better than anyone predicted. CA was the first state to issue a "shelter in place", as well as many population centers taking aggressive action to limit spread before anyone else was taking it seriously. All of the high-tech and bio-tech here was quick to cancel travel and implement social distancing back when CV19 was an "Asian problem".

I hate CA politics as much as anyone, but had CA not been more proactive than others, we might look like NY right now, and there would likely be more infections in ALL states.

That may be, but considering that GA has a high hospitalization and death rates among younger age groups, we may be looking at a different strain here, especially in South Georgia.

I suspect that the exodus of wealthier NYC residents will contribute to some extent to nationwide spread.

The tech lords led the way.
