On December 21, 2023 the reported cases had a Growth Rate of 0.0139. This is the highest growth rate since February 8, 2023, when it was 0.0147. This is doubly concerning since during last February many more states were reporting cases.volvolugnut wrote: ↑28 Dec 2023, 07:21
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.
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.
State growth rates for December 28, 2023. 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: New York (0.107) with 7,363,610 cases, North Dakota (0.074) with 303,210 cases, Maine (0.048) with 337,459 cases, Puerto Rico (0.042) with 1,405,176 cases, and Delaware (0.041) with 343,036 cases. New York has been in the top 5 states for 404 of the last 449 days. North Dakota has been in the top 5 states for 188 of the last 207 days. Maine has been in the top 5 states for 87 of the last 129 days. Puerto Rico has been in the top 5 states for 17 of the last 17 days. Delaware has been in the top 5 states for 158 of the last 198 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 0.00763 for yesterday, up from previous day of 0.00607. This is not population or case number weighted. Yesterday, 52 states and territories did not report new cases.
Daily active case counts have been rising the last several weeks. There have been 440 of last 696 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 December 16, 2023 were 2149 counties (67%) with less than 10 new admissions per 100,000 (low risk area). There were 866 counties (27%) with less 10 to 19.9 new admissions per 100,000 (medium risk area). There were 202 counties (6.3%) with more than 20 new admissions per 100,000 (high risk area). 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 risk has grown in the last several weeks in the midwest states.
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 are once again above 1,000,000. December 21, 2023 active cases rose to 1,041,577. Daily active case counts are now consistently above 900,000.
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.
