How do you feel we are doing in dealing with COVID-19 from a state perspective?

Being a bit of a data science nerd I like to visualize data as it can often provide a clear "picture" of what the data represents. As such I wrote a python program that grabs John's Hopkins data on COVID and puts it into some graphs. One thing that is clear while yes this is a national problem, how states deal with the virus varies on a number of factors like population, demographics, policy and how people embrace such policies just to name a few. As such what are some of the pros and cons in your state. What's working and what is not?

I think allowing each state to ‘control’ their entry into each phase seems to be a good idea in theory. However, some states (including NC) are being a little too controlling...just my two cents

I heard an interesting comment in the news today from a doctor. Covid is here to stay. We will have Flu season, allergy season and Covid season get used to it.
Not the kind of news one hopes to hear..

I am going to make the strong assumption that states that experienced significant cases before the shutdown experienced a significant spikes because the guidelines were static when they reopened.
