State level stats

For what it's worth
Probably not much...
NC's Phase 1 of reopening was Friday. Today was their highest ever new case count.
With increased testing, of course you're going to be seeing a higher number of cases.
With (presumably) a two week incubation period, is it fair to imply (as you seem to do) that the increase in case count today is because of the reopening yesterday?
-
Of course not. Just that the timing of reopening seems odd. Their growth rate has been high for some time. Seems hopeful to attribute it to testing.
-
Here are the top 20 states by case count. States in bold moved up the ranking, VA by two ranks hence the double asterisks.
-
State growth rates, again compound daily rates over 7 days, so it smooths the day-of-the-week variance.
States in red have increasing growth rates.
-
This shows top 20 states. States in bold have climbed in the rankings since last week.
-
States sorted by growth rates. (daily compound growth rates of total cases). Red means the growth rate is increasing, green decreasing.
Note this is only the top 20 states by case count, so some state with a lower number of total cases could well be growing faster.
-
As the rate of testing improves, I'd expect to see more positive cases. However, I'm not sure about the disparity between various states. California was touted as an example of how it should be done, and now....
Is there a site where one can see the CFR over time? Perhaps the # of "serious" infections? That would be an interesting metric. If those numbers are falling, despite an increase in the absolute number of positive cases, it might give a better insight on how things are going.

I didn't post this last Saturday, so this is comparing the daily growth rates over the last 14 days to the daily growth rates of the previous 7. Still a daily growth rate, so the comparison is apples to apples.
So CA and FL and TN went up a notch, Texas went up 3, NC went up 4, and AZ went from not in the top 20 to number 14.
-
This shows how the daily growth rate compares from last period to this. Red getting worse.
