California and North Carolina are both democratic governors. Lousiana is Democrat, and has a large number of cases as well.
It isn’t who the governor is, or what the lockdown is. The big 3 are the most southern states, two with large immigrant/migrant populations, the 3rd is Florida where they have a large hispanic population — hispanic populations throughout the country are ignoring the separation rules, live multiple families per dwelling.
In Virginia, our 3 biggest zip codes for cases are hispanic-majority.
The media doesn't want to drill down into the numbers, and Fauci is too busy doing interviews to actually reveal the data as well.
