Looking at the numbers more closely (for the first time in a while), I realize California's statewide COVID-19 trend graphs are overwhelmingly about southern California, which both has the bulk of the population and higher per-capita COVID-19 cases.
4/ California managed the pandemic as well as any state.
Today, California is at the highest average number of new cases in the pandemic.
Not just the highest: Very high.
Average new cases:
• Today: 2,700
• May 8, start of reopening: 1,700
