Stumbled upon Arizona today, their case load has bumped up noticeably since the beginning of June. Checked out a few other states: Florida is trending upward, slightly, as is California. New Jersey is not, New York is not, and my own state of Colorado is not... though my own Tourism-based place in Gunnison is. Over the last 4 days, we gained 3 cases. Which is huge for us: we held pretty damn steady for about 2 weeks.
Among the highest case load states (not the highest rate states), the trends are mixed, which might be why the nation as a whole is holding steady at about 20k cases per day, even now, a few weeks after the Memorial Day Revelries. We have broken past the 2 million mark (though not everyone agrees we're quite there yet) and have joined the 0.6% club, but still we have dropped out of the top 10 countries in the Great Race to the Bottom, being displaced by Peru. Though Brazil is hiding data in their bid, trying to grow cases as fast as they apparently can, they are still around a measly 0.3%
Among the top contenders, Luxemborg and Singapore traded places again. While Chile jumped up to just behind Kuwait. Bahrain jumped into the 1% club and Qatar is more than half way to being the first and only country in the 3% club and being virtually untouchable in the race to the Bottom. Though, thankfully, they have shown a recent trend to be heading back down on the curve. Good luck Qatar! I hope you're able to turn this around soon.
As morbid as this has been, it is my hope no one need top these charts.
As compared to last post, June 5, the data then:
