    Judging by the graphics the Guardian publishes it would seem case counts in the UK, while still far below their peaks, has stopped dropping and have increased a bit...

    For the past week compared to the preceding week, reported covid deaths increased in Ohio and four of its neighbors: Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

      I take it back.

      I'm probably not account6ing for reporting irregularities in all of these states. In Ohio and Kentucky especially, cases have been falling rapidly for several weeks, so it's hard to see how their deaths could be going up now.

    ok, I just got a "prove your humanity" question when logging in. More precisely, it was a simple math problem, and I was to supply the answer. Should a correct answer have let me in? discuss....

    Now back to gameday....

    MS and OK just dove below 10 new cases/day/100K. LA still sitting at the edge of the pool. AL running to jump in (maybe). WI stuck it's toe in, then pulled it out. WA and KS climbed out. Those still doing laps: OR, CA, NV, AZ, NM, MO, AR, HI, PR, NMI.

    At the other end, MA shot past CT to go above 25, then CT joined them. Among the high fliers, NJ and MI still going up, NY going down, and RI and DE are hovering in place. MN may still join them, but rate of increase has slowed--heck, they haven't climbed passed SD or PA yet.

    Big Three? CA still drifting down, so is TX after a little hiccup, and FL is just staying the same for now.

        I'm looking at new cases/day/100K
        For NJ:
        cases/day/100K on March 8: 36
        cases/day/100K on March 22: 45 that is a bit of a jump.

        Hospitalizations have been trending up, though not as dramatically.
        Deaths have been fairly flat.

        The hope was that as vulnerable populations get vaccinated, hospitalizations and deaths would drop off significantly before cases go away. We are not there yet.

          No its not. That is barely a move. I could cherry pick data like you, but refuse. Outside Michigan, none of the states are moving up a whole lot.

      Should note, OK went almost "all green", i.e. numbers are an artifact. The numbers there have been trending down, so getting below 10 new cases/day/100K would not be a surprise. Most of the counties dropping to "0" is a surprise.
