The New Normal

Here are comparisons of state stats comparing AZ with two regions, neighboring states with popular ski resorts and New England and the Greater NY region. CovidActNow recently added the ability to pick states to compare. Scroll all the way on any state webpage. These graphs show normalized data to account for the fact that these states have very different populations. In general, testing really didn't ramp up until April or even May. There were clearly undetected cases in March that don't show up in the graphs.

One more comparison . . . looking at the actual number of deaths in AZ compared to NM. NM has had pretty strong precautions and restrictions from early on. Not so much in AZ. From mid-July to mid-August there were over 50 deaths per day in AZ that were directly attributed to COVID-19. Daily deaths in NM have stayed until 10 since testing was useful starting around mid-April.

The midwest took over as the region with uncontrolled community spread weeks ago. When colleges in the southeast had students going back in August, that's when those states started having decreasing numbers. Several large universities in the midwest initiated community spread by early September. In April and May, the problem areas in the midwest were around meat packing plants.

New York was the hotspot because of the higher population, but you say nothing of population only that New Mexico had better precautions, BS
