Curious to see what happens with Arizona, Utah, Texas, Florida, NC/SC, and other red states seeing a rise in cases. California might end up closing up again but I'm not sure how these states will handle it. Wonder which state will be the first to reverse course and close down.

Florida is the first to buckle

USA continues to climb, yesterday USA was on top again in new cases, Brazil dropped down to weekend numbers, yet still high.
USA went up to 125% week over week change, 33.4K new cases yesterday.
Brazil went down to 31.6K new cases after their spike on Friday, tracking at 122% week over week change.
3 day average Brazil is still ahead.

Brazil reported 7,267 deaths last week vs 4,448 in the USA.
Since they're not far off with reported cases I'm guessing the USA, with its higher average age, is under counting deaths.

Some states are undercounted. Some places flue related deaths are up 3-5 times this year.

Or deaths are lagging behind.
