Today’s data on COVID in our nation is very concerning.

Houston, we have a problem.

Looking at 7 day averages,

Cases rising in 43 states

% of tests + going up in 39 states

Hospitalizations? up in 29 states

Deaths? Up in 28 states

But not all states are the same

Are these measures really reflective of value ? @sacjai
