ABC News research on COVID-19 trends in all 50 US states in the U. S. The U. S. , as well as washington, D. C. and Puerto Rico, discovered that there had been an accumulation of cases shown over the past two weeks in 33 states, the country’s capital and the American Island Caribbean Territory.
The research also revealed an increase in the positivity rate of COVID-19 testing in 16 states and Washington, D. C. , an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations in 17 states, as well as in DC and Puerto Rico, and an increase in the number of COVID-19 deaths in 15 states and Puerto Rico.
All trends have been analyzed from knowledge collected and published through the COVID Tracking Project for more than two weeks, the seven-day moving average linear regression trend line.
National accumulation in COVID-19 cases can be similar with several factors. While accumulation would possibly be partly similar to Labor Day festivities, it would possibly also be similar to the spread of the virus to epidemic communities on college campuses. .
In addition, the increase in the number of new instances would possibly be related to the expansion of mobility between states and communities. Several states, such as Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Utah, have noticed increased mobility, according to a tracking tool created through Apple.

As the death toll in the United States by COVID-19 approaches the 200,000 mark, President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that the new coronavirus “affects no one. “
He commented to a crowd of supporters Tuesday at an election rally in Swanton, Ohio.
“Now we know the disease. We didn’t know, now we know. It affects the elderly, the elderly with center disorders and other disorders. If they have other up disorders, that’s what it affects, that’s all,” Trump said. Said.
“You know, in some states, [are] thousands of other people — young people. Under 18, like no one else,” he continued. They have a strong immune system, who knows. Take off your hat to the kids because they have an amazing immune system. But no one. It’s an amazing thing. “
Trump’s comments contradict what fitness experts around the world told reporter Bob Woodward in March.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday unveiled a series of difficult new measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in England, which he said could remain in force for six months.
“I look forward to avoiding taking this step, as decentralized administrations do, but we can only avoid it if our new measures work and our behavior changes,” Johnson told members of the House of Commons. “We will spare no effort to expand vaccines, treatments, new mass testing bureaucracy. But unless we make tangible progress, we assume that the restrictions I have announced will remain in place for perhaps six months. “
Johnson has announced a curfew at 10pm for all reception spaces in England starting Thursday and said pubs, bars and restaurants across the country will also offer table-only service, with the exception of takeaways.
In the meantime, the use of masks will be extended to all users of taxis and personal rental vehicles, to all retail staff and to all workers and consumers of enclosed places, when they are seated at a table to eat or drink. The prime minister warned that corporations may simply be fined if they broke the new rules.
Johnson also announced that as of Monday, the number of legal participants in wedding ceremonies and receptions in England will be limited to 15 people, as a limit of 30 for all funerals held in the country.
Although Johnson said other people who can paint from home do it again, he is under pressure that his government will “do everything in our power” to keep schools open and young people in classrooms.
The Prime Minister noted that the other 3 deposed governments in the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) would take action.
“At the moment, this virus is a component of our lives,” he said, “and I will have to tell the House and the country that our fight against it will continue. “
