States with Increasing Covid-19 Death Toll1


Graphs of top 5 states with the highest deaths per 100K population.

Annualized 7dD/100k
# Deaths in last 7 days (7dD)


History and projections for top 5 states
The projections are of "Sick cases" 2 (max:3) and Deaths.

Footnotes:
  1. States above had least 10% increase in deaths in last week compared to the minimum of last 3 weeks and its current 7-day annualized population death rate (7d/100k) is greater than "accident" and there were more than 1 per day.
    1a. Death rate on small counties when deaths are even just 1 or 2 gets to be huge when annualized. To be more realistic use the 3 week average instead of just 7 days for smaller counties. This is done to avoid giving too much weight to a few isolated deaths.
    1b. US projection graph is shown just for reference.
    1c. States shown in order of their current population death rate.

  2. Sick Cases: the reported cases estimated to be roughly equivalent to original make up of cases early on. Early on cases were by and large limited to clinically sick. The estimation is done using current state's hospitalization and deeming an equivalent number of "sick" cases that would match the early on hospitalization rate.

  3. Max Sick Cases: Assuming an average asymptomatic cases/sick cases factor, this is max sick cases before entire population would have been infected.
