The largest state in the US, long home to the largest number of coronavirus cases, has been overtaken by the second largest state, where cases are increasing
According to Johns Hopkins University, the Golden State has registered 940,411 infections since the state of the pandemic It is not a small number, but Texas had registered 942,303 on Monday
This data is even more surprising given that the population of Texas is 29 million and that of California 39 million So how did the Lone Star State get past California?
California reported 4,044 new cases daily Texas reported 7,215 Texas reports more cases per day Plus, its number of cases is on the rise
According to Johns Hopkins, 7-day mobile test positivity rate in California is 32% and declining In Texas, this number is 87% and increasing Additionally, California performs more tests per 1,000 people , at a rate of 34, than Texas, which has 24 tests per 1000 As a rule, more tests come with more cases So the fact that Texas, with 1/4 less population and about 1 / 3 fewer tests, around 40% more cases is a very bad sign
Additionally, while the three largest cities in each state are among the top 10 in the nation, each city in California is much denser than its nearest Texas counterpart. This should, again, mean a faster spread in California It is not currently
According to AP, as daily infections plummeted this fall, Texas Governor Greg Abbott began easing coronavirus restrictions on restaurants, gyms and bars
Medical resources near the border have recently been overwhelmed Governor Abbott has ordered more medical equipment and personnel in the area, with mobile medical units set up in parking lots to deal with a coronavirus overload on Thursday, El Paso County officials have ordered a two-week shutdown of non-essential activities
Our Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) entered on day 10 of its operations in @ElPasoTXGov under the leadership of @GovAbbott and @TDEM
MMU remains at full capacity as it continues to treat COVID-19 patients to free up additional hospital beds in the region #TexansHelpingTexans picTwittercom / DQxT8yDlc2
Coronavirus-related deaths, which is often a lagging indicator, have also already surpassed those in California So far 18,534 Texans have been lost due to the pandemic In California, that number is 17,689
Although the numbers in California are better than in Lone Star State, the daily number of cases has increased significantly The 14-day moving average of daily new cases was around 3,000 on October 18 on Monday, that same 14 day average was over 4,300 Not good, especially as we move into flu season and the holidays, when more people tend to be clustered inside
California, Texas, Greg Abbott
