One picture worth 1000 words
Read MoreCovid Cases by State Cases per 100,000
I finally found a graphic that tells a bit more nuanced story from NPR. This graphic shows how well California is doing at 77 per 100K considering what a huge state it is. Obviously, we need our case load to stop increasing and start to decrease if we’re ever going to get back to work…
