This particular virus has infected large cats and domestic cats.

Yup and at least one dog.

The virus tends to spread in humans so the case count is higher where more humans live.

Is anything known about whether it spreads via animals, too?

Yes. Several pets have gotten it, presumably from their owners. Indoor cats have gotten it. Dogs, too, have tested positive.

Tigers are getting it, and some have died.

Cook County and IL are really moving up. Looks like Chicago is the current hot spot, at least in terms of growth.

And this, despite the "stay at home" "social distancing" directives.

TX passed Westchester now. I'll stop tracking individual counties as they fall out of the range top 10 states (those that do).

Again Chicago is the overachiever.

Anything not marked is under 3% growth.

Once again, Chicago (and Cook County) excel in all the wrong ways.

Wow, California.

Westchester fell out of the top 10 states range! If it stays down there I'll quit including it after a while.

[LuFins Dad]

Wow, opened up the reply tab and there was a reply I had written two weeks ago but never sent. That’s kind of a cool feature.

At any rate, I think Westchester will fall off soon. Maryland is catching up.

Westchester fell even below the 11th state (GA) so I took it off. Hopefully it stays off.

Just today I thought I'd list the next 10. Threw in some counties that might be of interest were they fit in between the states. Skipped various NJ counties, because, well, NJ.

11: GA - 32,162
Westchester
Los Angeles County
12: LA - 30,855
13: MD - 30,485
14: IN - 23,146
15: OH - 23,016
16: VA - 22,342
17: CO - 18,371
Wayne Co Michigan (Detroit)
Philadelphia County (Philly)
Middlesex County MA (not Boston but adjacent)
18: WA - 16,231
Suffolk County MA (Boston)
19: TN - 14,452
20: NC - 13.953

Observations:

• GA is fewer than 300 cases behind CT, the current #10. I haven't tracked growth here but it wouldn't surprise me to see it move into the top 10 at some point.

• WA has done pretty well. They used to be worst hit.
