Okay folks -- here is today's snapshot of each state's progress in reducing COVID cases/hospitalizations/death, via covidexitstrategy.org

Green is trending better.

Yellow is caution warranted.

Red is going downhill.

Bruised red is uncontrolled spread.

Of all 50 states + D.C., Hawaii is the only state not facing uncontrolled spread of the coronavirus right now.

We are the United States of Bruised Red.

Here's one week ago vs today. Somehow, we got even worse.

(Washington state is black because it was missing data, not because it just fell off the charts.)

Is there anything positive in this data?

Some states are reporting a drop in COVID-19 positive cases over the last 2 weeks. But the situation is so bad, they're still in a state of uncontrolled spread.

Can our health care system handle this spread? This map uses bed and ICU availability, case fatality rate + cases per capita as a proxy for load on our hospitals.

The Midwest really cannot handle what is happening right now. Indiana in particular.

New Mexico is in devastatingly bad shape. Its ICUs are at 100% capacity. 100%!

North Dakota isn't far behind, at 94% ICU capacity.

Any bright spots in here?

Oregon and Hawaii have a handle on testing.

Idaho, meanwhile, needs to step it up big time.

Here's D.C. I remember when we were in the yellow. Now we're tanking.

Anyway, stay safe folks. It's really bad right now.

Dad, wear your mask properly at CVS. Over the nose!
