The CDC has announced the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and more states have ended Covid-19 reporting. Since May 14, 2023, 33 states and territories have not reported results. However, I still have been receiving reports from other states through Worldometer. I will be continuing daily reports as long as the information is relevant.volvolugnut wrote: ↑04 Feb 2024, 16:16
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 February 4, 2024. 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 30 day average (the worst containment) are: US Virgin Islands (0.267) with 26,071 cases, Wyoming (0.105) with 195,197 cases, New York (0.083) with 7,517,255 cases, North Dakota (0.072) with 307,307 cases, and Puerto Rico (0.044) with 1,446,861 cases. US Virgin Islands has been in the top 5 states for 18 of the last 18 days. Wyoming has been in the top 5 states for 20 of the last 20 days. New York has been in the top 5 states for 442 of the last 487 days. North Dakota has been in the top 5 states for 226 of the last 245 days. Puerto Rico has been in the top 5 states for 49 of the last 55 days.
Several states have stopped posting new case and new death numbers. I will back calculate where possible. These Districts and states have not reported in the last 30 days or more: Alabama, Arkansas, California, District Of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, Veteran Affairs, US Military, Navajo Nation, and Federal Prisons.
My calculated growth rate for USA is 0.00306 for yesterday, down from previous day of 0.00384. This is not population or case number weighted. Yesterday, 55 states and territories did not report new cases.
Daily active case counts have been rising the last several weeks. There have been 460 of last 734 days with decreasing active case numbers.
New Hospital admissions are reported by CDC as number of admissions per 100,000 of county population. Reported for January 20, 2024 were 2823 counties (88%) with less than 10 new admissions per 100,000 (low risk area). There were 376 counties (12%) with less 10 to 19.9 new admissions per 100,000 (medium risk area). There were 20 counties (.62%) with more than 20 new admissions per 100,000 (high risk area). The number of High risk counties dropped from 65 to 20. It appears from my local review of this data, rural hospitals that serve multiple counties may be over counted as the same number of cases are applied to all counties served by the hospital. This is shown on the CDC map detail as several counties in an area with identical number of new cases reported for each county. I have observed that the number of counties with medium and high risk has dropped in the last 4 weeks. The total number of Covid-19 hospital admissions dropped 10.9% for the week.
In early August, the number of reported active cases had dropped below 800,000 for the first time since July 2021. As of September 4, active cases were above 1,000,000. January 17, 2024 active cases rose to 1,167,209. Daily active case counts are once again consistently above 1,100,000. Growth rates are now similar to rates in February 2023.
There have now been 110 million total cases of Covid-19 in the US. This is 33% of the total US population. Reinfections and under reporting will distort the total number of cases.
With new home tests widely available, new case counts are likely under counting the true number of active cases.
