covid in the US: two week snapshot
This tracker provides a snapshot view of cases and deaths across all US States within the past two weeks. The idea behind building this tracker is to focus more on the recent scenario, using a 2-week lens, allowing users to predict where the next large outbreak could occur.
The "Rate of Change" and "Geography" sorting functions allow users to get a quick sense of which states' Covid figures are changing most rapidly, while easily revealing how each state is fairing relative to the others.
The data is sourced from the New York Times historical daily case counts, updated daily.
