Pennsylvania is banning liquor and beer sales after 5 p.m. on Nov. 25 as part of the state's coronavirus mitigation efforts. The Thanksgiving holiday is projected to take the state into 22,000 new cases daily next month. Let's take stock of where we are...

Southeastern PA saw some of the highest daily increases as of midnight Sunday. Montgomery's 290 new cases and Bucks' 265 new cases took the second and third highest spots in our top 10 chart here. 
Central PA is getting hit hardest though, as far as 14-day average new cases per 100,000 people. Mifflin, Cambria and Juniata counties are among the highest at those rates.
Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia are all sticking relatively close to the statewide 14-day average per 100,000 residents. There are few, if any, counties that are under the rate of cases during the April peak of the coronavirus.
Hospitalizations for the most part haven't quite spiked like new cases have. Bucks remains under the statewide average for total patients hospitalized each day, but numbers are continually increasing. State hospital data only dates back to June 1.
Deaths are increasing at a slower rate than hospitalizations, though they too are trending upwards.
I also thought I should reshare this for context. Here's what the 14-day average per 100,000 people in Oct and part of Nov looked like when we set our colorbar to April's peak averages.
As always, data is analyzed using @PythonPr @matplotlib @geopandas in a @ProjectJupyter notebook. @threadreaderapp Unroll please.
