From progress to regress
Just saw this intro from the NYT in which they warned of a “deepening national sense that the progress made in fighting the pandemic is undone and that no patch of America is safe.
I thought I’d point out the progress came undone in A, and that we went fully off the rails in B.
To the question of whether any parts of America are currently safe, the regional trends were quite different a few weeks ago.
Update:
This really gets at the mess we're in.
18 U.S. States have partially controlled or downward-trending #COVID19 outbreaks.
The rest? 32 have "Uncontrolled spread" (dark brown) as of today.
