Texas has a decline in new cases as well, and its hospital ICUs are at 87% of capacity. Like Florida, things look better. Obviously there are still a few hospitals at capacity, but even there things are looking better.
Arizona shows a directionally nice decline in new cases per 100,000 people and a drop in ICU space used by COVID. This site always extrapolates to the worst case. A little alarmist, but the new case count has been going down for TWO WEEKS. Better news, better markets.
