The darkest colored states here are averaging 100+ new _diagnosed_ COVID cases per 100k population per day -- meaning that 1%+ of the state population has an active (diagnosed!) COVID case currently. What's going to happen when people gather for Thanksgiving?

And my assumption is that COVID cases last for about 10 days, though I think that's on the short end. So 100*10= 1000, 1000/100000 = 1%)

Since I believe in showing your work, here's my source on the 10 days figure, from the CDC as well https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/duration-isolation.html
I'd also note that the positivity rates in some of these states are, to use a technical term, absolutely BANANAS. So the underdiagnosis rate could be huge, meaning that it could be 2%, 3%, etc. who are currently infected.
