Good part: we are testing more than ever.

So far ok: deaths haven't spiked...yet.

Bad: Case number has increased, which wouldn't be terrible, except...

VERY BAD: Hospitalizations up again.

#CoronaVirusUpdate

Note...this is not age adjusted...which means CA, TX may not be good, but they aren't awful.

WI, MN, IL, IA, SD, ND are the real hotspots.

But the Midwest and Northeast are worsening.

But you can see the bad.

Wisconsin is absolutely awful. They look like Arizona in the middle of summer.

Illinois, which got hit hard in the first wave, is clearly now seeing community spread.

The entire North Central region is terrible. It was most severe with ND, but SD, MN, IA all are seeing similar trends.

Another visualization, this population adjusted. The North Central region is terrible.

But we are seeing other hotspots erupt too.

Pop adjusted by region. SCARY. Midwest (includes North Central) is the worst. South has never totally recovered. West is surging again.

But look at the Northeast. That is BAD. The case numbers don't tell the whole story, it was far worse than this shows. And the wave is coming.

Compare to this. Hospitalizations tell a slightly different story. The Midwest is rising, but not so much, even with high case #. The South on the other hand is still very high. West and NE are slowly rising.
