COVID-19 in the United States | Data USA
This is a pretty neat site that holds the relevant charts at this point in the pandemic.
Log scale cases by population density.
Site crosses this by state and by international comparisons.
Has some data that is raw instead of by pop (as per screenshot) and you'll have to go mouse over the state you're interested in since there's so much data at once. Some states are delayed on providing newer data that is validated so some is delayed in the chart. The trends are there and still really interesting.
Media keeps pushing the total cases leaderboard that doesn't tell you much. It is pretty sloppy and is dramatic to the overall effect on Americans. But it doesn't tell you about reopening and how your area is doing on NOT shooting the moon on infection. Even less important to the
current interventions is
current daily deaths. There is a huge lag time and deaths are occuring weeks after initial infection. Lower infection, you lower death. We have not has a substantial treatment change in the last weeks to alter deaths, so the main death outcome at this time will be case increase or decrease, not hospital interventions or lack thereof. Caveat...state testing mechanisms can artificially raise or lower case load.
