So, using that link, I pulled up the graph for California and it shows a trend line of steep decline since ~ mid-January 2021. So how are their "numbers still going up"?

Those three states have done miserably. Add Texas and you also have 3 of the worst performers in vaccinations (Florida has done a less shitty job there). This should surprise no one. Backwards states with idiot leadership do stupid things. I disagree. The miserable states in terms of covid cases are Mich, NJ, Cal, and NY. Those states' numbers are still going up while Texas is going down Yeah, that's wrong. All 4 of those states you listed have done dramatically better than Texas in vaccine distribution. covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations It should surprise absolutely no one that the worst performing states are all in the south. In terms of current cases, California is driving this thing into submission simultaneous with their vaccine rollout. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/ Texas is just crossing its fingers. Spoiler alert - it's not going to work. Texas' case count will go up. We've been through this repeatedly now. We know what happens. States like Texas and Florida have squandered their natural advantages against the vaccine time and time again. Texas has just doubled down on stupid and incompetent. They simply are not vaccinating quickly enough to avoid an increase in cases. As a nation, 30% of Americans have gotten at least 1 dose (just got my first one yesterday). California and NY are over 31%, really high for the large states. Florida is at 27.5%. Texas is only 25%. What's more important, though, is that when their idiot governor lifted every restriction, only 12% had received even a single dose and Texas has crapped all over itself since then. There is a lag, there has been every time. Texas' count will go up. They are starting to pick up steam in vaccination, but it took them a month to do so. I track all of this on a daily basis. (I have a numbers fetish, I can't help it). I identified when the summer wave in Florida was starting a week before everyone else stopped claiming it was b/c we were doing more testing. I correctly identified when it would crest - 3 weeks after the large counties instituted mask mandates. I've sent multiple FOIA requests to the state of Florida b/c the data they released didn't make any sense - just using their own data. It's basic math. And just so you don't go believing all the raw numbers, there's this - the least surprising news story of 2021: www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2021/03/30/florida-is-undercounting-covid-19-deaths-per-new-reportFlorida lied about its death numbers - which was obvious to anybody paying any attention whatsoever. A true count of the death toll would make Florida one of the ten worst states in terms of deaths per capita - despite our inherent advantages. I haven't followed Texas at all, but I would not at all be surprised if something similar was true.

Texas is a little behind the other states in vaccine distribution due to their ice storm but that has nothing to do with their opening up 100%. That was a good move and not Neanderthal thinking
