This edition tabulates the past week’s progression of cases and deaths at the state and nationwide levels. The rate of new cases per day is still quite high (nearly 30,000 nationally) but did decrease 9% during the week of April 9-16 versus the previous week. Most states are experiencing a drop-off in new cases per day. However, the rate of new cases per day increased in 16 states this past week.

COVID-attributed deaths doubled nationally between the cumulative figure as of April 9 and as of April 16.

This edition conveys the distribution of US counties by new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and COVID-attributed deaths from April 1-15. Across the 25 counties with the largest per capita rates of confirmed cases, the number of daily new cases has decreased by 9 percentage points this past week relative to the prior week; however, the COVID-19 attributed deaths in these counties increased by 58%. We also convey an analysis of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the 25 counties with largest total population.

This edition tabulates state level information on the progression of COVID-19 cases and deaths.  A significant finding is that the rate of new confirmed cases per day continues to rise sharply – the daily average increase from April 2 to April 9 was 32,734, up 54% from the prior week’s average of 21,300.  The nearly 11,000 COVID-19 deaths that occurred this week are roughly twice the number of COVID deaths that occurred in all prior weeks combined.

This edition identifies and ranks the 100 “hot spot” counties with the largest rate of confirmed cases per capita, and provides various statistical information on each of these. Collectively, while these 100 counties represent 10% of the USA population, they account for a majority of the nation’s confirmed cases (58%) and COVID-attributed deaths (64%).

This edition tracks the past week’s explosive progression of COVID-19 cases and deaths in each state and territory. Nationwide, confirmed cases nearly tripled and deaths increased by a factor of 4.5.

This edition tracks the progression of COVID-19 through the past week in each state and territory. Nationally the number of confirmed cases and COVID-19 attributed deaths each increased by more than a factor of six during this seven day period.

This edition provides updated COVID-19 data on five states where the per capita rate of infection has been highest – Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Washington. Confirmed cases and deaths are at the county level. Ten “hot spot” counties, nine of which are in New York and the tenth in Louisiana, accounted for 40% of all confirmed cases in the USA as of March 25

This edition shows the sharp trajectory of confirmed COVID-19 cases by state across the past few days. Between March 17 and March 19 there were more new confirmed cases in the USA and more attributed deaths than in all previous days combined. Confirmed cases and available testing statistics are also shown on a per capita basis.

This edition about the pandemic zooms in on Washington State and New York State, conveying county-level tabulations regarding the per capita rate of confirmed COVID-19 cases as of yesterday. We also show the number and proportion of Medicare beneficiaries in each county.
