So #coronavirus update.

Nationally, we are approving across the board. No real hot spot remains, though a few states are worrisome.

The drop in testing is also concerning, but hopefully that is bouncing back.

Arizona is in full recovery mode. They will probably join the NY/NJ/CT group of states that are at least somewhat resistant to new outbreaks.

California is stubbornly maintaining a high death toll daily. It seems to be improving otherwise.

Texas and Florida have both turned the corner. The decreased testing is again something to watch, though Texas appears (?) to be a data glitch. Florida's testing appears to have actually dropped.

Georgia and Mississippi, like much of the south, still hasn't really turned the corner, but they are probably close. MS, especially , really got hit hard.

Louisiana remains very interesting to me. It is still the only state that had a true, bad double wave. They appear to be recovering now.

One thing to note: Louisiana shows why looking at case numbers alone is a mistake. This shows case numbers...the second wave is a lot bigger than the first.

But the reality is FAR more people died in the first wave.

Out west, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada still aren't great, but heading in the right direction.

In the Midwest, states are improving. Want to keep an eye out for slightly elevated cases though...they aren't leading to major hospitalizations or deaths, but means the virus positive rate is high, and that is a problem with the school year beginning.

The last one is the one I am most worried about even though in absolute numbers it isn't bad: Hawaii.

They have, for all intensive purposes, been shut down all year. And they are still seeing this. Their economy is decimated. Things might be getting worse before they get better.
