@NateSilver538 The other thing I’d put on your radar is an emerging southern cluster: look at the per cap numbers for LA, MS, TN. (I think those are the 3 I noticed last run.) -@alexismadrigal

We'd also draw your attention to a cluster of southern states that are undertested, but have rising case loads, especially on a per-capita basis: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi. https://t.co/7yChSLGK6x

One unusual situation: Mississippi testing is ~slowing~ as the state re-opens.
(For comparison, see neighboring states like Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas.) https://t.co/aHf8wia9sD

Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked 13.8 million tests, up 343k from yesterday.
5 states showed a decline in total tests due to separating out their antibody results: MI, MO, MS, TX, WV.

Two notes in the numbers today:
Washington State revealed they had been counting antibody tests in its numbers, so their total number of tests will drop.
Yesterday, we accidentally counted Mississippi's antibody tests in its total. We're correcting the data today.

States reported more than 32k cases today and 31k cases yesterday, the highest numbers we’ve seen since May 1.
Mississippi hasn’t updated its numbers in two days, so we expect we’re missing 600-800 cases there, based on their previous updates. https://t.co/oFb4QlB1RF
June 20, 2020, 3:26 PM PDT
Here are the states reporting more than 500 new cases today.
Worth noting TN set a new record high yesterday. MS had growing cases and their reporting broke down. OK set a new record 6/18. (NM's data looks good in recent weeks.) https://t.co/kaP2XhdoSl
June 22, 2020, 3:09 PM PDT
Here are the states that reported over 500 cases today.
Note: Mississippi had data reporting problems for days, so their number represents data from 6/17-6/21. https://t.co/A19JYqduYs
June 25, 2020, 3:23 PM PDT
Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida all reported more than 1000 cases today. https://t.co/RysGHFrCF1

Today, ID is back, but we’re missing hospitalization updates from states including AL, AR, CT, IA, LA, MI, MO, MS, NH, OR, RI, SC, and WY. Some due to the new HHS directive, others because it’s the weekend.
We will keep reporting on the availability of this data.

Populous states can generate large case counts, but if you look at the new cases per million today, 9 smaller states are showing more cases per million than California or Texas: AL, AR, ID, KS, KY, LA, MS, NV, and SC. https://t.co/1pYW6cWRaS
July 23, 2020, 3:58 PM PDT
If you look at new cases per million people, the South's numbers stand out, but the problems appear to be spreading up the Mississippi River. https://t.co/WhbHgbHzg9
July 31, 2020, 3:45 PM PDT
Mississippi and Oklahoma have seen rapid growth in cases. Mississippi now rivals Florida for the highest number of cases per million population. https://t.co/S01vrOmo42
August 6, 2020, 3:06 PM PDT
Yesterday, we detailed testing falloffs in hotspot states, but it is much more widespread, even in places that have large outbreaks and are opening schools like Mississippi. https://t.co/rBZJQInqxr
September 27, 2020, 3:43 PM PDT
Today, Mississippi announced that it will only report statewide testing numbers once a week. https://t.co/kQTssHjcds
November 21, 2020, 4:44 PM PST
40 states reported over 1,000 cases today. And four didn't report. New Jersey, California, Mississippi, Idaho, and Oregon reported record numbers of cases. https://t.co/q23xwQ3BW7
January 3, 2021, 3:28 PM PST
At publish time, we had no updates from 7 of the 56 states and territories we track: AR, CT, KS, MI, MP, RI, and WA. Seven additional states did not report current hospitalizations today: HI, MN, MS, NV, OK, OR, and WI.
