This map shows the weekly rate of new confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people for what the US Census Bureau calls “.” These consist of a county or combination of counties containing at least one city with at least 10,000 people. While some rural areas that are grayed out in our map have also been hit hard by COVID-19, this geographical view clearly reveals the shifting patchwork of hotspots of viral transmission that has characterized the US epidemic so far.
