[#Covid19] The situation in the USA keeps scaling. Yesterday there were almost 188K new cases with 1.15 million cases in the last 7 days, twice the cases known in Chile. Soon will be 200k per day if is not controlled.

Last week have been more than 9.3K deaths while in 2 weeks more than 17K deaths. As USA counts medical diagnostics and not only PCR+, this has to be compared to almost 20K deaths in Chile.

The regions more affected are the north mid west, where there are many of the 14 states that still do not have any mandates to use masks. Below are all the new cases during October, more than 10 times the cases known in Chile in just one month.

Overall the whole pandemic, the focus is now the mid west instead of the east coast, including Arizona, Dakota (N & S), Montana and New Mexico. Also in the south, Alabama, Georgia and Missouri.

The worst county is in North Dakota where the mortality rate is already 0.44%. That means that more than 40% of the population has been infected (44% to 63% if the final IFR is 1% or 0,7%, respectively).

Given the number of deaths, we can estimate that between 25 and 36M people has been infected (using an IFR range of 0.7% to 1%), which is more than 2.2 times what is known and probably this factor is closer to 3 times. That is more than 10% the overall population of the country.
