Interesting state comparison

This is the current top 15 states, #s from infection2020.

This is what happens when I normalize the same 15 by population (cases/MM people)

Important to note, I only did the top 15 ranked by total cases and resorted them. Other states could be in the top 15 on a per capita basis that don't show up in my list.

California really is a head scratcher. I mean, in a good way.

I've been tracking active MD cases as % population. Linear increase as of the past 4 days.

And of course the problem with counting cases is that it is SO skewed by testing.

Bingo

Deaths next to cases would help a lot.

Hospitalizations would be better. Frankly, I’d like some insight into what percentage of reported cases is symptomatic.

I live in MA, which is 3rd or 4th, depending on which table you prefer, and I don't know a single person who has been tested. Not one. How can we claim to have a clue under these circumstances?
