Note: Daily COVID-19 updates going forward will happen on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (unless something significant needs to be reported on the other days) during the week. Weekly weekend charts will continue to happen when there are significant items to review.
Hey! Thanks for these posts; they’re very helpful. Any chance the data is available with demographic weighting, say, per 100,000 population? It’s hard to drill down to the actual significance of raw numbers. Thanks again.
The Worldometers data (link in the article) breaks it down by 1M residents in each state.
