After Strong Start in Battling Coronavirus, California Now Leads U.S. in Cases

In mid-March, California became the first state to enact widespread
shelter-in-place orders -- seen as a bold action to prevent the
kind of spike in coronavirus cases New York was reporting at the
time. Today, California has the most cases of COVID-19 in the
country, surpassing New York with over 485,000 confirmed cases.
Public health experts say California's early shelter-in-place
orders effectively slowed the spread, but a combination of
impatience with those orders, unreliable federal leadership and
Gov. Newsom’s decision to re-open the economy has created a more
challenging battle against the virus. We'll discuss the latest news
on how California is handling the pandemic, including what's
happening in the Central Valley, a new hot spot for coronavirus.
