“Waiting for the peak and drop, hope it’s soon.”
A rolling series of Local and State peaks and drops, is already underway.
NYC and DC were early, but this week several States appear to have crested as well. NY State and Rhode Island are shown above, but also Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, (maybe Georgia), Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, (maybe Mississippi), Missouri, New Jersey, (maybe North Carolina), Ohio, Puerto Rico, and Vermont.
A lot of places really did not start surging straight up until around New Year’s, but they will probably crest en masse in another week or so.
The numbers in the south haven’t peaked yet. It hasn’t been real cold yet, but soon it will crest. Western numbers will continue rising, simply because of social distancing via land area. Not too much longer overall.
