I'm positive I have COVID.

[let's say that differently]

I'm positive, I have COVID.

So a quick 🧵 with the new @CDCgov county measures. Unsurprisingly, not great news.

61% of the country lives in a high-level county, based on the hospitalization risk measure.

Here's your updated map.

I'm used to saying whoa...Florida.

This week I said whoa...California.

You can really see the rapid rise in the % of people living in high-risk areas in places like California, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia...and even a resurgence in NY and NJ. Other places have remained high.

3/

Compared to last week, 13% of people lived in counties that worsened in their level, compared to 6% of people who lived in a county that improved.

81% of people lived in a county whose risk level did not change.

4/

10 states now have 80% or more of their population living in high-risk counties, led by California (99%), Florida (98%), Hawaii (95%), New Jersey (91%), and Illinois (88%).

More later when the transmission levels are updated for today.

I'll also update my dashboard then.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Fever of 100.9 at its highest, cough, fatigue, and typical man-complaining. Toddler is great, wife improving! #Blessed
