My #Missouri #COVID19 website has been fully updated for Sunday, 6/13 - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_vi…. As a reminder, I'm doing slightly more frequent threads again since 7-day averages are growing again.
The 7-day averages statewide and “outstate” crept up a bit again yesterday. 1/8
The general areas of concern remain the same - Northern MO and parts of Southwest MO, but the number of counties with concerning trends has grown over the past few days in SW MO in particular. 2/8
In Northern MO, Putnam County’s superlative rates have fallen sharply, as have rates in Linn and Livingston counties. Linn’s rate remains no. 2 nationwide for counties with more than 10,000 residents. 3/8
In the Springfield area, the list of counties with concerning trends continues to grow, despite a drop in Polk’s 7-day average. Christian, Greene, Taney, and Webster have all increased significantly over the past few days. 4/8
Just to the northeast around the Lake of the Ozarks, a similar pattern on increasing 7-day averages is emerging (just a few days behind) in Camden, Laclede, and Miller counties. Remember that the Memorial Day holiday weekend was just two weeks ago. 5/8
South of I-44, it is Texas and now Wright counties that are worth watching closely. Wright’s rate has shifted up again, and Texas’s 7-day average has remained steady. 6/8
Finally, around the Joplin area, the City of Joplin itself as well as Jasper, Lawrence, McDonald, and Newton counties are experiencing a shift that is very similar to what we’re seeing around the Lake of the Ozarks and Springfield. 7/8

The next update will be tomorrow via River City Data, while my next 🧵 will be Tuesday, 6/15.
