You're not understanding how this line of argument works. When blue states that do all the restrictions have big surges in hospitalizations, you're supposed to just say, "well it would have been even worse if they hadn't done that" or blame other factors like population density. When it happens in red states, you blame the lack of restrictions even if there is no temporal relationship whatsoever between when they were lifted and the surge in cases.
