A bizarre contest perhaps? Red state governors who OPEN UP are betting their state infections/deaths will soar and beat other states?

What is the prize for winning? Or is that a secret?

    Per Axios this morning:

    The hardest-hit areas so far have mostly been in states with Democratic governors, but the number of virus cases is now increasing more quickly in states with Republican governors, Drew Altman, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, writes in a column for Axios.

    By the numbers: Over the last two weeks, reported infections have increased 91% in red states versus 63% in blue states. 

    • We see the same pattern for COVID-19 deaths: 170% growth in red states vs. 104% in blue states.

    Between the lines: Polls show Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to think that the worst is behind us when it comes to coronavirus.

    I wasn't at all surprised.  They are taking fewer precautions, so it would seem to be inevitable.
