Illinois

New York accelerated past Washington in per capita positive tests. Here’s the top 10:

New York Washington New Jersey Louisiana DC Michigan Massachusetts Colorado Rhode Island Illinois

New York continues to have the highest positive tests per capita, an indication of both the intensity of testing there and the severity of the outbreak. Here’s the top 10:

Illinois showed a sharp increase in COVID-19 deaths today. The state now has 6,980 confirmed cases and 141 cumulative deaths. https://t.co/WSKWzX1IQ6

@hannahmeisel @IDPH FWIW, we’ve had some Illinois reporters wonder aloud about the IDPH numbers. We have not seen more reason to doubt them than for any other state, but just FWIW. -@alexismadrigal

As of today, 8 states are reporting racial demographics for COVID cases: CT, IL, MI, MN, NC, NJ, SC, VA

And 5 states are reporting racial demographics for COVID deaths: CT, IL, LA, MN, NC

Update coming shortly. We're just getting in the first Illinois hospitalization numbers before the daily commit. https://t.co/PETKG0lkPA

Illinois put out important new data today: confirmed and suspected current COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and ventilator usage. They are big numbers, comparable to California (which reports slightly differently). https://t.co/Bfn6cDv3qL

This is just another indication that COVID-19, while it broke out on the east and west coasts, will not remain a coastal phenomenon, as Michigan, Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, and other states experience intense outbreaks.

One thing to note about hospitalization data: New Jersey, Illinois, and California are all including different sets of people in their numbers. We are reporting the lower numbers where they are available (as in CA, which breaks out confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases).

The death toll continues to be concentrated in New York and New Jersey, although Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania continue to see substantial numbers of deaths each day. https://t.co/GbJ5RNM0mc

Many states reported a huge number of tests, including a known backlog clearing from MA (30k+). NY reported almost 50k tests; TX over 20k.

AL, CA, FL, GA, IL, MA, NY, TN, TX all reported over 10k tests.

Final shoutout to Kansas (@KDHE) and Illinois (@IDPH). Thus far, they are the only two states breaking out testing by race and ethnicity.

The increase in testing was broadly distributed among the states. These states all reported over 10k tests today.

CA: 29,648 FL: 20,294 GA: 19,323 IL: 14,821 MA: 13,989 MN: 10,238 NY: 26,802 TN: 17,583 TX: 36,985 VA: 14,139

Today's testing numbers are the highest since the daily record on July 24. The uptick in tests and cases was partially due to a data dump in Illinois. https://t.co/94bQikmJVP

Cases nationwide are on the rise. Two states - Illinois and Texas - are each reporting over 5k cases. https://t.co/1sgCu73Piu

TX, FL, and WI all reported over 5k cases today. IL reported a new daily record of over 8k cases. Here's how these states looked over the last two months for comparison. https://t.co/pQhRRDTkGQ

While the smaller Midwest states were the first to see case and hospitalization surges, the problems have begun to hit the populous states like Illinois. https://t.co/0wsch14tkA

While long-term care facility data continues to be patchy, what we do know is grim: Cases continued to rocket upward last week with 19,086 new cases and 1,839 new deaths among staff and residents. More than a quarter of these cases were in just three states: IL, OH, and TX.

IL reported a record 12K cases today. 7 states reported over 5k cases. https://t.co/CBmvL91zT2

Illinois reported an all-time high case count today—12k. Cases in the midwestern state have doubled in the past two weeks, pushing the per-capita case total to nearly 1,000. https://t.co/0NUSOGR4S6

Illinois has reported over 10k daily cases for 4 consecutive days. https://t.co/1AWROviSaN

Illinois reported 15K cases today. A new record for the state. Cases in Texas are back over 10k. https://t.co/IRtsex4Ll0

IL and WI both reported over 10k cases today. VA reported ~2.7k cases due to a technical issue over the weekend. https://t.co/Rzt6t2xe10

26 states have over 1k people currently hospitalized with COVID-19. Hospitalizations in CA, TX, and IL account for almost a quarter of all COVID-19 current hospitalizations. https://t.co/E7aUzNBlmt

California just set a new single-day case high for any state at 15,442.

Only Illinois and Florida have ever reported more than 15k: IL on Nov 13 and FL on July 12. https://t.co/SwoJxSJlKp

Only 4 states—HI, ME, NH, VT—have fewer than 100 people per million hospitalized with COVID-19. South Dakota and Nebraska have the most people hospitalized per capita, with North Dakota, Illinois, and Indiana close behind. https://t.co/mxRLdjJQvH

Central to the Midwest’s surge is Illinois, which reported one of the highest numbers of new cases and deaths in the nation last week. The state was home to nearly 20% of the Midwest’s long-term care deaths and cases. https://t.co/at3RarLewB https://t.co/ymgs13rFMW

The Midwest remains the epicenter of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. The region has seen the highest number of reported LTC cases & deaths every week since mid-November. Four states—IL, OH, IN & MN—topped the nation in new reported LTC deaths last week. https://t.co/bp1sBO7RmF

Seven states reported more than 10k cases today: CA, FL, IL, NY, PA, OH, and TX. https://t.co/L93HHx9vjH

As of today, vaccine data is readily available across 49 states and territories, but our team only found vaccine data on doses administered in LTCs in seven states: Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

For our API users: Yesterday, we switched totalTestResults to use values from totalTestsViral instead of being calculated from positive+negative in 4 states: IL, ME, MI, and SD.

The changes in ME dropped totalTestResults by around 40k. The changes in IL made no impact to the value of totalTestResults at the topline but may have shifted earlier values.
