These are the current COVID-19 stats, as of this morning, for California, which has a population (39.5 million) that is larger than that of most countries, including Canada, Australia, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, and Romania. These stats are further proof that the Democrats' one-size-fits-all lockdown approach is senseless.
Even if you want to believe that the case death rate has dropped so dramatically only because of therapeutics, that does not change the fact that it has dropped dramatically, that it poses a much lower risk of death than it did during the lockdowns. Therapeutics have certainly played a role in the last month or so, but therapeutics alone cannot explain the fact that the decrease began barely 2 weeks after states began to reopen.
Anyway, here are California's COVID-19 numbers as of this morning and broken down by age group:
