COVID-19 Peak Dates for Every State

COVID-19 Peak Dates for Every State

[snip]

As the peak has likely passed in most parts of the country, states have begun to allow businesses like restaurants, retailers, and more to reopen. Leaders must weigh the risks of reopening too soon with the harsh economic reality in the wake of the pandemic. Efforts to contain the virus have decimated the economies of every state, and extending closures will continue to adversely affect businesses and workers. Nearly 40 million Americans have lost their jobs since the outbreak began, and in some states unemployment claims since mid-March have amounted to over 40% of the workforce (as measured before the pandemic). These are each state’s unemployment claims since coronavirus shut down the economy.

They could merely compile all the information into one table on one page, but this way I can sift through a lot of cool stock photos and useful advertising!

Look at Iran's chart on Johns Hopkins and tell me when their "peak" was.

Hell, look at the U.S.'s chart and tell me when the peak was. Or will be?

It's overly simplified pseudo-science from March that hasn't stood the test of time (three months).

happened.

For example, it says Florida "is estimated to" peak on April 1 with 4674 active cases. Florida just had 4 days of it's largest numbers of new cases ever, and there are 27058 cases.

Presumably this article was written 3 days ago.
