I don't know. I'm suspicious that California has 5 times the population of Washington but less than half as many cases with far fewer deaths. I think there's some lying or fudging of numbers somewhere but I don't know in which direct.

Plus, California has a far lower mortality rate. What are we doing differently than Washington?

You got an outbreak of the coronavirus in a nursing home, among the elderly - those most likely to succumb to any strong virus.

Most of the deaths in Washington were from one nursing home. It’s not good to extrapolate that data to the whole population.

But the amount of testing much be known for a valid comparison. There is not much difference as re. average age and estimated Chinese American populations is less
