Now that TX has gone full open we'll have a really good test given that CA is sticking to the plan of opening as the case loads go down.

It's too soon for the Texas change to show up in the stats but today, Texas +7300, Florida +7179, New York +6381 and California +4417.

I'm really REALLY glad to not be living in FL and TX.

And almost 2000 more people died yesterday.

Yes... lives are important. Personal economics are also important:

Part of the Labor Center’s Covid-19 Series: Resources, Data, and Analysis for California
The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have been severe: at least 30 million people have lost their jobs and millions of others have seen their incomes decline. Governments are spending billions of dollars on public health and the safety net. As state and local governments grapple with the revenue loss and spending increases associated with the pandemic, the specter of significant cuts in public spending threatens the livelihoods and employment of public sector workers in a second wave of economic contraction. State and local governments will need an estimated $1 trillion to avoid massive cuts, according to the federal government’s own economic projections.

On May 14, the Governor of California released his revised budget proposal for 2020-21 projecting a revenue decline of 22.3% and a $54.3 billion shortfall. Many cities, counties, and school districts have already begun budgeting for the coming fiscal year and face similar deficits. How will these fiscal impacts affect California’s economic recovery?

There are many that are glad they live in Florida and Texas and not New York or California.

With population growth in Fl and Tx and declines in NY and CA.

The point being, we have a variety of where we like to live and where we don't.
