I think what's happening is, there aren't necessarily more cases in blue states, they are fighting harder for tests, social distancing measures.
I don't think for a second, hotspots won't begin popping up in red states, they will do everything they can to censor that, they already are.

The Centers for Disease Control is looking into the shortage, CDC Director Robert Redfield told Politico on Tuesday. Im confident of the actual test that we have, but as people begin to operationalize the test, they realize theres other things they need to do the test, said Redfield.
Michael Mina, a Harvard professor of epidemiology, tweeted Monday that the testing components are critical.
