RESULTS

The impact of the virus in three quarters.

Figure: 1

Figure: 2

Figure 1 shows the number of death and hospitalized data. Among all the states, New York has the maximum number of COVID patients hospitalized, which is 80,995, and the death rate is also raised to 25,195, recorded as the maximum death amongst all states. Moreover, Oklahoma has the least most COVID patience hospitalized, and indeed the death is also marked the lowest. Figure 2 shows the quarterly data for COVID positive. The number has drastically increased from March to April and has been around the same numbers until May and has lower a bit in June. The possible reason for the shift might be the presence of herd immunity or the impact of lockdown. It took the USA a little more than three months to hit 1 million cases on April 28. It took about half that time, 44 days, to get to 2 million on June 11 and only 26 days to reach 3 million on July 8. By that gauge, if no new measures are taken, 4 million cases could be tallied as soon as July 22.

On further analysis to find the reason, the data of total test results, recovered, positive, and death is compared in figure 3. The positive cases from June end to July start of the month has drastically increased from 18,787,463 to 21,338,753. The positive count and test result count were raised, which implies a lot of people were impacted due to the uplift of lockdown and the public gathering of independence day or BLM's movement. This means the earlier containment wasn't due to the herd immunity and only resulted from a lockdown.

Positive and recovered cases as per states

Figure: 5

Figure: 6

Texas and Massachusetts both have better recovery results compared to other states. The highest number of positive cases is in New York, 44 million, and below the New York is New Jersey, with 18,693,583 followed by Massachusetts with 11,221,164 cases. Massachusetts has a good recovery rate of around 6,693,619, whereas New Jersey has the least recovery counts compared to other states. The assumption might be the age factor, who might have a low immune system. It is also mentioned that many patients did not have the facility to get tested and had no chance to recover, which led to death just in few days.

Conclusion

The coronavirus has left no state unscathed. But its impact has been wildly uneven. In New York and California, the states with the most known cases, more than 1 million people have had the coronavirus. In some less populous states, including Vermont and Hawaii, there are fewer than 5,000 patients. And in a handful of remote counties, there has been not even one positive test.

The United States has reached a grim milestone of 4 million coronavirus cases, doubling the total number of infections in just six weeks as deaths and hospitalizations continue a sharp rise in many states. According to Washington Post tracking, positivity rates are at alarming levels in numerous states; hospitalizations are soaring, more than 1,000 new coronavirus deaths were reported. The seven-day rolling average of infections has doubled in less than a month, reaching more than 66,000 new cases per day. The U.S. death toll now exceeds 141,000.
