I created a map that shows how cases are changing in each state normalized by both population and rate of increase.

Raw changes in cases can be misrepresentative, so I created a score that tries to encapsulate a fuller picture.

Full interactive version: covid19-projections.com/maps/
Based on this calculation, Arizona has the lowest score based on its change of +69 cases per day/1 million and 98% increase compared to 7 days ago.

Other states of concern are: TN, AR, NM, FL, UT.

On the other hand, Mid-Atlantic states continue to see a steady decline in cases.
This map slightly deviates from my traditional analysis in that this map does not incorporate any projections.

These are simply a visualization of the raw case data from @JHUSystems.
Standard caveats: cases are not necessary the best indicators of how much the virus is spreading.

To get a true picture, we also have to look at tests, positive rates, deaths, etc. We include those data in the interactive version on our website if you hover over each state.
Here is how reopenings for Georgia, Florida, and Arizona have progressed, according to @OpenTable

Can you guess which state has seen a large spike in cases and which state has not?
