California is #31 in state cases per capita. California has tested people above the national average per capita.

So realistically, California is #36 or so in COVID cases per capita when adjusted for the significant lack of testing in a few states.
LA county is a bit higher than the California average. If LA County were it's own state, it would be #15 (Below Iowa, Nebraska, Mississippi, just to name a few). The same testing discrepancy puts LA County closer to ~#18 or so corrected for low testing states. That would put it right below the national average by population for cases per capita.
In terms of rate, yes cases are increasing in California, but they are also increasing in 37 of 50 states, and holding steady in another 11 (Only 2 states are seeing cases decreasing). As far as the actual rate of cases increasing, that's a little harder to find exact data on, so I'll leave a link to the graphical data. California's cases are increasing at a normal amount. It's states like Florida, South Carolina, and Arizona that are really exploding.

So I wanted to let him know who I was.
But beyond that, even as a kid I was never one to do something needlessly foolish just because other kids were saying “are you a chicken? Bok bok bok.”

The issue with Florida is the massive spike in recent cases. On Sunday July 5, Florida has 10,059 new cases reported. California had 4,625 cases reported. California has more than twice the population of Florida at 40 million. So Florida is reporting more than 4x as many new cases per population than California each day.
