California officially has the lowest coronavirus case rate of any state, federal figures show, underscoring the progress made in the ongoing battle against the highly infectious Delta variant.

The state has been among the national leaders in that metric for the last week, as the number of newly confirmed coronavirus infections continues to tumble from a peak earlier this summer.

California's new case rate per 100,000 people is less than half of neighboring states, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some hard-hit states have more than triple California's numbers.

As of Sunday, California's seven-day case rate was 109.6 per 100,000 people. The next-closest state was Maryland, at 143.4.

2. Not surprised.

People took it seriously there.

We visited CA recently, and generally speaking the vast majority of folks were masked up, and staying distanced. Then we got back to Wisconsin, with nary a mask in sight, and people crammed into bars/restaurants/etc. like sardines and it was just sickening (metaphorically and literally.)
