I only have one explanation and it's a doozy. Have you read the post I made here earlier about the Stanford study in Santa Clara Country, where they tested 1,000 people randomly from the population and concluded that infection rates are orders of magnitude higher among the general population than otherwise surmised?

So why do I think CA has not had the infection numbers that NY did? Two reasons. One, CA has not done as much testing. Infection rates in the US really are mostly a factor of how much testing is done. Second is that CA probably has many millions already infected, but as you know, most people show no symptoms or very mild symptoms. CA is more spread out than NY, so their hospital system may be harder to overwhelm vs the jam packed human conditions in NY. Those are my guesses.

Same thing goes for India. You can't trust what they are telling you, because they are not doing significant testing and the infection rates can be extraordinarily high, but we wouldn't know it due to mild to no symptoms in most people.

I continue to believe that lockdowns of economies is irresponsible and really signing death warrants for millions of people around the globe to save people who are unhealthy and old to begin with. The cruelty is in what we're doing to the tens of millions.
