In the article linked below, 15 US states are listed as having set new records this week in the numbers of new cases of COVID-19:

Here are the governors of those states.
Alabama (Kay Ivey, Republican)
Alaska (Mike Dunleavy, Republican)
Arizona (Doug Ducey, Republican)
California (Gavin Newsom, Democrat)
Florida (Ron DeSantis, Republican)
Georgia (Brian Kemp, Republican)
Idaho (Brad Little, Republican)
Mississippi (Tate Reeves, Republican)
Missouri (Mike Parson, Republican)
Nevada (Steve Sisolak, Democrat)
Oklahoma (Kevin Stitt, Republican)
South Carolina (Kristi Noem, Republican)
Tennessee (Bill Lee, Republican)
Texas (Greg Abbott, Republican)
Wyoming (Mark Gordon, Republican)
Notice a pattern? Twenty six of the nation's governors are Republican while 24 are Democrats. One away from a 50/50 split. And yet 13 of the 15 states setting new records for COVID-19 cases are run by Republicans.
This many months into the pandemic, it isn't about being unlucky to be a hotspot. It's about how you have responded. Whether you chose to isolate people and shut down non-essential businesses and whether or not you required masks in public.That some states still don't require the latter is criminal and history will not look back kindly on such scumbags.
And if you think this doesn't affect you because you are young and not in contact with older loved ones and friends, think again.
