70% of New Coronavirus Cases Are In Red States

Philip Bump: “When the pandemic was at its high, about three-quarters of new cases were in blue states. Now, about 7-in-10 new cases are in red states.”

“It’s still the case, though, that many of those new cases are in blue counties. While more new cases are emerging in states that voted for Trump, those outbreaks were often in places that voted for Clinton. But here, too, there’s been a shift. For the first time, about half of new cases are also in counties that voted for Trump.”
