In all of below, "Cases" is NEW cases, not cumulative total cases
YES YES, I know, with home-testing, only a small percent of cases are reported
U.S. in past 14 days (actually 7 day average ending July 11 compared to 7 day average ending June 27)
Cases: +8%, Hospitalizations: +17%, ICUs: +21%, Deaths: -2%
Cases: 35 per 100,000
California is 5th highest cases PER CAPITA.
Top 18 states in per capita cases: #1-Kentucky, #2-Alaska, #3-Texas, #4-Alabama, #5-California
#6-Louisiana, #7-Florida, #8-Arkansas, #9-New York, #10-Hawaii, #11-New Mexico, #12-Mississippi, #13-Colorado, #14-New Jersey, #15-West Virginia, #16-Illinois, #17-Washington, #18-South Carolina
Notice the South is starting to dominate the rankings, which has been the case the last 2 summers starting about this time of year, so its going to get more so in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, California also fits that pattern (as well as high winter peaks in common with most of the rest of the country)

=================================
California in past 14 days (actually 7 day average ending July 11 compared to 7 day average ending June 27)
Cases: -5%, Hospitalizations: +26%, ICUs: +38%, Deaths: +40%
Cases: 46 per 100,000 (5th highest state)
In ICUs: June 1: 280, July 11: 450
Essentially, cases have flat-lined since about June 10, while the increase in hospitalizations and deaths, which lag cases, have been echoing the large increases in cases between early April and June 10. They should soon start to slow down, unless Ba.4 and Ba.5 are a little worse per infection, as some say.
