spreads from people who are both presymptomatic and asymptomatic<\/a>. Additionally, many people refuse to practice social distancing and don\u2019t wear masks, as certain states don\u2019t require them to be worn in public settings. The inability for everyone to follow the same orders contributes to the continued spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTop 10 States\/Territories With Highest Rates Of COVID-19<\/h2>\n\n\n\n As of August 11th<\/sup>, 2020, the following states have the highest case rates of COVID-19<\/p>\n\n\n\nCalifornia (561,911 total cases)<\/li> Florida (531,188 total cases)<\/li> Texas (490,817 total cases)<\/li> New York City (229,557 total cases)<\/li> Georgia (219,025 total cases)<\/li> Illinois (196,699 total cases)<\/li> New York (193,267 total cases)<\/li> Arizona (187,523 total cases)<\/li> New Jersey (185,031 total cases)<\/li> North Carolina (136,844 total cases)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe Places Hit Hardest By Coronavirus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no secret that California and New York, and now Florida, were hit the hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. The high state populations contributed to the extreme spikes in cases. Hawaii and Vermont, which are much less populated, have fewer than 5,000 confirmed total cases of COVID-19<\/strong>. But big cities aren\u2019t the only areas suffering. Small rural towns and cities in the Midwest and the South have been hit hard. A recent report, from the beginning of July to the present, found that 85% of the deaths in McAllen, Texas were all coronavirus deaths. Other rural towns that have been hit hard lately include:<\/p>\n\n\n\nBaker FL<\/li> Karnes, TX<\/li> Clarke, AL<\/li> Martinsville, VA<\/li> Chicot, AR<\/li> Bee, TX<\/li> Dixie, FL<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhat was considered \u201cnormal life\u201d is no longer normal for millions of Americans. Concerts, sports games, restaurant dining, and more are either cancelled or majorly altered. Unemployment cases continue to rise and many schools and colleges have cancelled in-person classes for the fall 2020 semester. It\u2019s a new world and we have to do all that we can to be a healthier nation moving forward. Please do your part to benefit our beautiful nation.<\/p>\n
