The United States has the worst coronavirus outbreak in the world, with more than 1. 5 million cases.
All 50 states have started easing lockdown restrictions. Some, including Michigan and New York — the epicenter of the US outbreak — have begun to see a drop in the number of new cases reported each day. Others, like South Dakota and Texas, are still reporting increases.
The overall number of instances in many U. S. states isU. S. It paints an undeniably bleak picture. But this single knowledge point doesn’t necessarily illustrate the full extent of your buds or facilitate simple state comparisons. The consistent with the hundredth of check effects that return positive may reveal differences in outbreaks across geographic regions.
South Dakota, for example, has 4,000 cases, a fraction of California’s 80,400. But if the state had 1 million residents, South Dakota’s ratio would build up to 4,600 as opposed to 2,000 in California.
The same is for a measure of instances consisting of millions of tests performed: almost 14% of the southern Dakota tests have become positive, while just over 6% of California. The ex -consistent Hitt have reported that the states aim to see that less than 10% of the evidence become positive before reopening.
The interactive map below shows how total cases, cases per million residents, and positive tests per million conducted compare across each US state and territory.
However, even these numbers may not paint a completely accurate picture, due to discrepancies in how widely different states are testing for the virus and how they’re reporting cases.
At least six states, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Vermont and Virginia, would have failed their number in a way that can justify the decisions of generating orders to the home.
Miami public radio station WLRN also reported this week that a knowledge investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uncovered “major discrepancies” between what 10 states are reporting and the agency’s own numbers.
