1/ Some more peeks at age-specific COVID symptom trends from FB/CMU surveys at state level.
Here's Massachusetts and Maine
The rates are VERY LOW- the Northeast is the only oasis of green in the country on COVIDExitStrategy.org
but is there a worrisome trend developing?
2/ Look at the y axis for these states- GA/SC/TN/KY
Unlike MA/ME, they are persistently over 0.8% CLI rate , and heading thew wrong direction, including among the older age group.
Rising deaths will follow.
3/ The y axis jumps again-
MS and LA are very high, especially in youngest age group, but also 55+
They are also among the highest in test positivity.
We need to quench the outbreak in these states. If governments won't, then schools, businesses, families have to act
4/ I'm also worried about Florida
Like Texas, trends came down from the July peak. But unlike Texas, there was a second August wave among the young, and now an increase among the older population
Despite/Because official assertions, things will get worse usatoday.com/story/travel/n…
