In the above two maps, you first can see where the cases are growing fastest and then second where the death rate is increasing fastest. Obviously, case growth is occurring across the US. This is unsurprising, especially since there is more testing happening now. What we don’t really know from our data is whether these cases are symptomatic, whether they’re hospitalized, etc. The second map shows us that the deaths continue to happen in the same cluster areas, NYC/Mass/NJ/Conn, DC, New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, and Seattle. The majority of these are occurring in the NYC cluster.

Latitudes of Cases / Deaths for US States
Just like with the rest of the world, the US also seems to be following the Latitude effect. Most of the cases/deaths to date have occurred between 40 and 45 degrees North. I’m currently evaluating if the fastest case/death rate growth also follows this latitude trend or not.
