Map: There are now more than 580,000 reported cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., with the death toll surpassing 23,000. New York State alone has over 195,000 cases. We're tracking the cases by state 👇
A large portion of U.S. cases are centered around New York City. Since March 20, New York State, Connecticut, and New Jersey have accounted for around 50% of all U.S. cases. As of April 9, nearly 60% of all deaths from COVID-19 have been in these three states. While New York state appears to be reaching a plateau, as seen below, it notched between 8,000 and 10,000 new cases each day between March 31 and April 12.
When case counts grow very quickly, a state's curve tends sharply upward, as New York's does over the first 15 days past 100 cases. Generally, this is evidence of unbridled community transmission of the disease. As new cases slow, the curve bends towards horizontal, showing that the state's outbreak may be leveling off. This doesn't mean cases have stopped growing, but the growth has slowed, which could signify that social distancing measures are having an effect.In some areas, there are signs of hope. The areas with the earliest outbreaks — like California and Washington — also seem to be having success at suppressing it.
