Our daily update is published. States reported 1.8 million tests, 151k cases, and 956 deaths. 85,836 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, setting a new record for the 14th consecutive day.
Only 4 states—HI, ME, NH, VT—have fewer than 100 people per million hospitalized with COVID-19. South Dakota and Nebraska have the most people hospitalized per capita, with North Dakota, Illinois, and Indiana close behind.
Deaths have risen rapidly since cases began to surge. The 7-day average is now over 1500 deaths, an 87% increase since November 1.
State reporting varies a lot by day of the week. Mondays are usually very low, but today states reported nearly 1000 deaths, a nearly 50% jump from last week, and more than every other week back to mid-May.
New Mexico's situation is dire. The state's cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are at all time highs and continuing to rise quickly.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving, we expect that states will not file complete reports for several days after the holiday. This will heavily influence the data, as you can see from Labor Day. As states catch up, the numbers will probably remain wobbly into December.
