#COVID
This is a list of the states with the biggest increases in COVID cases over the past 2 weeks.
Key takeaways:
1. All North.
2. Vax % not stopping surges.
3. Deaths overall low...which may be vaccines, or too early to tell.
4. WI, MI, and PA are going to tell the story.

Here is change in hospitalization rates. Note that some states are very small numbers (VT, ME). But again, the increases are all in the North.
PA and OH seeing significant numbers.
And remember that like deaths, hospitalizations are a lagging indicator.

Some places (see my earlier tweet on Detroit) are taking the risk seriously. Nobody really knows how much the vax will protect us. But the more we vaccinate, the more we get boosters, and the more precautions we take, the better. We can't close down...but we can be smart.
Here is reason to hope. This isn't linear, but the death rates right now...are aligning inversely pretty nicely with vaccination rates.
So we may see significant deaths regardless, but vaccinated states will see less relatively...most likely.
