Today’s data on COVID in our nation is very concerning.
Houston, we have a problem.
Looking at 7 day averages,
Cases rising in 43 states
% of tests + going up in 39 states
Hospitalizations? up in 29 states
Deaths? Up in 28 states
But not all states are the same

If we use Convergence TTSI model (developed by large coalition -- see https://globalepidemics.org )
Cut points (applied to states)
Red: >25 new cases per 100k per day
Orange: 10 - 24.9 new cases per 100K per day
Yellow: 1 to 9.9 new cases per 100K per day
Green: <1 per day

Things in Red Zone very worrisome
Not sure what turns it around
Certainly, fully enforced mask order
No indoor gatherings. No bars, clubs, restaurants. Only essential retail
May exempt remote counties
Worried they are heading towards full shutdown unless path changes

Orange Zone concerns me – many states on the brink
NV, ID, MS, TN, and CA could turn Red soon.
They have to get aggressive now
CA is large state with some places that look as bad as AZ, TX, other places look fine

Yellow Zone has opportunity to avoid trouble
OH, KY, MO, and WV among those that should ratchet back activity (they're about to turn orange)
Most of these states need to ramp up testing further.
And all of them should try to suppress virus – they still can

Just do what you're doing.

Much of our nation in trouble
Some states must be aggressive. Their wildfires out of control
Others seeing growing flames. Still containable
Each day # of states getting worse grows
No longer South or West issue. Increasingly an American problem
All states must do more

One more thing
Folks asking if VT really the only state doing well.
No.
Bunch of states have low percent positive tests, largely stable number of cases, and hospitalizations/deaths actually falling.
What states?
RI, NY, MA, NJ, CT, HI, NH, and ME
