@LuFins-Dad Wow!!!

Can the states that are doing so well continue to do so? I would think that maybe they can.

People may be realizing the situation that is occurring around the US, and that may make them follow the rules/recommendations more closely (states like IL, CT, ND, etc). At least I hope so.

Interesting stat, new cases (rolling) per 1MM population per day.

AZ 384
SC 207
AK 196
FL 187
MS 186
TX 158
UT 158
LA 147
AL 146
CA 125
GA 137
NV 129
NC 123
TN 109
IA 106

To put it in perspective, NY peaked at about 540 per million per day (rolling 7 day ave).

Build that wall.

@taiwan_girl The answer seems to be no right now. When George posted that picture, over half of the states were Yellow or Green. One week later, only 17 are. Several green states went straight into the red, and even some of the yellow states are running low on ICU beds.

Did most states make progress during shelter in place, with preparations for a spike?

I think the whole idea was to avoid a spike. I talk to a lot of people in Illinois (and @George-K can probably comment better), and they have kept things pretty tight. My understanding is that the governor had a plan and stuck to it. Certain parameters had to be met to allow moving forward. Seems to be working, though it will have to see as things open in the future.

On a side note, Thailand has stopped international imports of people through June 30 (been in place for a couple of months now). They will slowly open up, but they may continue the ban for people from the US.

D2 lives in the Milwaukee area and she is amazed at how careless people are being. She is, by nature, a very careful person and she is fearful that Wisconsin will see a big spike.

LuFin, I went searching for Covidexitstrategy.org. It also says this:

"The color trend now takes into account a state's CASES PER MILLION PER DAY. If the incidence rate is low (less than 40) it will not turn a state completely red. This impacts: Alaska, Montana, Michigan, Maine, and West Virginia. They are now yellow instead of red because of their low incident rate."

It depicts these maps from May 28-June 7. Not so good.
