Most blue states are also at typical points of entry for the country (such as air or sea), so of course a crowded entryway is going to see a mess at first before anywhere else. And by the time our country realized the virus might have reached our shores, it had already spread to the red states, but the symptoms were still developing in the aforementioned blue.

Honestly, it took long enough to take root in states other than NY, Washington, and California that pretty much every other state could have gotten it under control with quick, decisive measures to limit the spread and restrict interstate travel. Instead, the country spent four months arguing over whether or not the disease even existed, fighting against infection control measures, and insisting that, if it did, it was only going to be major cities in those states that had anything to worry about. That's the real tragedy here: Everyone saw this outcome coming, and it didn't have to be this bad.
