Weekly COVID-19 US and Canada Summary

Cases are taking off in parts of Canada and the US. Deaths haven't started ticking up yet.

This animation shows cases per capita for each US region and Canada.

The shaded interval is the regional minimum and maximum rates for each region, the line is the regional rate.

Obvious increases in Canada, US north-east and mid-west. Some top rate increase in south and west.

And here's the equivalent for deaths per capita.

Death rate is up a bit in the US north-east and the top-rate has increased in Canada, by a smidge (scientific term).

1st map shows the current case levels per capita in each state, 2nd shows cumulative deaths per capita.

You can see the entire pandemic timeline for the two countries in this animation. Notice the uptick in the last couple of weeks.

Updated vaccine data.

The first is my usual ribbon graph showing doses distributed and administered.

The 2nd is new (and I botched the Y axis label) and shows percent receiving at least one dose in each state and province.

Going to fix these up a little nice at some point.

That's it for this week's update.
