The mornings are cooler and I may post this information in the morning now (mostly). I try to do outdoor work in the afternoon.volvolugnut wrote: ↑17 Oct 2020, 08:22 More statistics on US states and COVID-19 growth rates. My raw information is from Worldometer. Any errors or misrepresentations are my own.
These tables show all available US states and territories and the COVID-19 data for the last 5 days. I have sorted the states alphabetically and added growth rates for last several days for all states with ranking of each day. Of course, this information changes daily. I have presented the table in two parts because of the screen shot, but it is actually one table in Excel.
Again, results change daily.
State growth rates for October 17, 2020. All information is based on reported information and actual results may be different.
For your information, the top 5 states or territories yesterday in growth rate (the worst containment) are: North Dakota (0.142) with 31,261 cases, Minnesota (0.141) with 121,090 cases, Tennessee (0.141) with 226,139 cases, New Hampshire (0.124) with 9625 cases, and South Dakota (0.110) with 32,611 cases. All states have reopened to various levels. Many states have now paused or reversed opening actions. North Dakota has been in top 5 list for 72 of last 108 days. Minnesota has been in top 5 list for 52 of last 73 days. Tennessee has been in top 5 list for 8 of last 23 days. New Hampshire has been in top 5 list for 25 of last 48 days. South Dakota has been in top 5 list for 26 of last 57 days.
A column on the right shows the current growth rate divided by the 5 day moving average. No areas were over 2.0 yesterday (red highlight). Delaware and Tennessee were over 1.5 yesterday (yellow highlight). This column is an early warning of increasing cases beyond day to day noise.
My calculated growth rate for USA is 0.0203 for yesterday, down from previous day of 0.0268. This is not population or case number weighted.
