I might add that the primary reason cases are increasing in California (and other states as well), it that it is hitting primarily latinos living in poor, dense conditions, AND in areas where masks are not a requirement. In LA and Orange county masks weren't as prevalent as the the Bay Area and other parts of the state. But now that Newsom passed a statewide law requiring masks indoors and outdoors where people can't be 6 feet apart, I think that will go a long way in slowing the case rise and reversing it.
For example, only 14 states have statewide mask laws, and only 2 are seeing rises in cases. California is one of them (Hawaii is the other, but I don't know why cases are rising there despite the mask law), but the statewide law was just passed this week so it'll be a few weeks before we see the effects.
In the other 36 states without mask laws, 23 of them are seeing spikes in cases. Most notably, they are Southern states with a large Hispanic population, and these people are getting slammed.
