This week’s edition of the 5 Slide Series tracks recent COVID-19 trends.  We have summarized the weekly progression of cases, tests, and deaths through July 8 at the national, state, and county levels.  72% of the US population resides in a county where the number of new cases increased during the week of July 1 – July 8 relative to the previous seven-day period.

This week’s edition, and many of our previous COVID-19 5 Sliders, were compiled by Grace Williams.
