As U.S. authorities and medical personnel work to contain the coronavirus pandemic , the number of total cases is growing across the country at different rates. The factors are many, from when the disease first broke out in a place to the testing capabilities and the different stay-at-home orders in each state .
With thousands of cases being confirmed every day in New York, the state is the epicenter of the nation’s crisis and on a different scale from the rest of the country. NBC News will update the data in these charts, which show the per-day count of confirmed cases in each state, between 6 and 7 p.m. ET daily. See the numbers on per-day coronavirus deaths in the U.S. and per state here .
And while New York’s outbreak is currently the most severe, several other states with high populations are seeing outbreaks as well. Note that cases in the U.S. are increasing due to improving in testing capabilities as well as more people catching the disease.

Grrrrrrrr, errors all over da place?
You broke the internet again Perrie!
And then, the 'agitators' loud and proud in MAGA gear show up and show out in choice locations throughout the country. I hope these people do not take virus-sickness back home to their loved ones! This is sick, dangerous business these folks are engaging in.
A more instructive analysis drills down to the county in each state. There are vast difference within most states. Generally speaking related to population density. Use MICHIGAN for example.
Most of the state has much less infected and allows for less restrictive measures.
A one size fits all approach is ludicrous when considered in such a manner. The loud and proud “agitators” are spot on in this regard.
I posted this article for that reason, Sparty. When you look at the map, you can see areas that it would seem are clear to start to return to life. Although, you have to take into consideration how easy a cluster can arise. Take a look at the pork processing plant in SD, and they jumped to over 900 cases overnight. That is the problem with this disease. It's so easily spread.
That being said, I do think we can ease restrictions in safe areas.
And you are right, it is not one size fits all.
The "loud and proud agitators" are sign-toting, big-ASS flag-waving, jingoistic, cymbal-heads". And, I will not apologize for the characterization. Just because you can stand on a street corner making a lot of noise signifying nothing does not mean you are being reasonable. The facts of reason for being there have to be taken under investigation and account! "Babies" can bang on pots!
Those supporters march to the tune of an inconsistent, reactionary, president. A man who does not take time to analyze properly his own double-minded ideas. President Trump is protesting his own policies. Trump SAYS he wants to support life, reduce the number of deaths, he loves the hard-working doctors, nurses, EMTs, et ceteras. He respects their pain, sorrow, and even their sicknesses and deaths due to the coronavirus. And then Trump listens to his Trump constituents (who have lost nothing dear to them besides the same dollars and cents everyone else has) and then Trump ignores the very workers who in some sections of the country STOOD THEIR GROUND in front of the idiocy of "Trumpian" disrespect for social distancing and the prognosis of greater death if the virus escapes from the proper containment around it!
This is hard! Yes, it is hard on the country. But not as hard as if we have several NEW YORK CITY SIZED 'epidemics' cascading thorough the network of cities and states!
Here's a for instance:
Why Florida Should Have Shut Down Spring Break Amid Coronavirus Outbreak | NowThis
Now pick a point, any city, any popular attraction in the country and move people in and out of it back to their destinations. See what could and stillcan happen with asymptomatic people moving about the country unattended?
Social distancing, masks, hand-washing, and lockdowns work. Do not underestimate what works!
Why has the left suddenly become hard-core, geo-political boundary, Nationalists? I can understand Democrats returning to their 'states rights' roots of the Confederacy but the rapid ascendancy of liberal Nationalism is rather surprising. The emergence of a National Socialist political movement is fascinating.
What is being hidden by all those state borders is that the coronavirus pandemic has been localized into population centers. That shouldn't be surprising. Higher population density allows the virus to spread faster and farther. That's really the way nature works; science can confirm that. The cruise ship pandemic provides clear evidence. COVID-19 is more a disease of cities than of states.
Other than the hotspots of cities, COVID-19 has claimed fewer lives than heart disease, strokes, cancers, or chronic diseases. And those underlying diseases have increased fatalities attributed to COVID-19.
The reality of what is happening is being distorted to support a National Socialist political agenda. History may be repeating itself.
Social distancing works. I know this, because its practically saving California (the nation's biggest city) from gross infestation of people. Without social distancing, you would see a clear and greater loss of life across the board —in any community where this highly contagious virus comes and sets up. Don't forget this. Being a relatively small community is not what is saving an area of the country. For as we all know, single-family homes have had multiple members infected, sick, and/or dying once the invading microbe entered the picture.
The claim that social distancing works is based upon anecdotal information. The available data does not support a conclusion one way or other with any confidence.
Social distancing is a common sense response; not a data driven response. That does not diminish the importance of social distancing.
Beyond social distancing what other significant 'step' any world governments taken? Please be specific.
There is no comparing highly contagious diseases, with life/death hospitalizations of ten to twenty days at the far end, with chronic medical conditions, Nerm. If you insist, then prove me wrong.
How do you plan on doing that?
I didn't prove you wrong.
What I said is that social distancing is a common sense response; not a data driven response.
That means is that common sense is as important or more important than data in a time of crisis.
Social distancing, masks, hand-washings, soap and water, and a lessening of human interplay in public is not quantifiable in this situation, but it is qualitatively working. There is a high probability the invisible microbe is lessening its grasp (it seems) on those interconnected highways between people and societies.
As of 4-20-2020 at midnight the official US death toll attributed to the Covid-19 virus is forty two thousand six hundred and four. That is of, course, only the official tested and verified number although people being "Found Dead" in New York City is reportedly up by as much as eight hundred percent compared with normal. People are being buried in mass graves out on Hart Island out of necessity for the first time in a generation.
Buckle up buttercups. Sadly, this thang isn't over yet...
No wonder all the righteous righties obsess on China!
And as the people refuse to adhere to the guidelines - lockdown, social distancing and masks when out shopping for necessities, the numbers will continue to increase.
